"Change your state and you change your life"

By Anthony Robbins

Action Step

The next time you start on an important project, visualize yourself succeeding in advance. Make that picture as dramatic, vivid, colorful and realistic as possible. When you find that you are doubting yourself, pull that positive picture back up, recharge that image, and go on with your plan.

Cannot Start Microsoft Office Outlook


I recently got called up by a friend using Outlook 2003 to fix a Microsoft Office Outlook problem.
"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Unable to open the Outlook window. The set of folders could not be opened. The server is not available. Contact your administrator if this condition persists."
There are several ways to address this problem:-
  1. you can refer to the article from Microsoft at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/252304 to fix this problem, or
  2. try a PST repairing tool in c:\program files\common files\systems\msmapi\1033\scanpst.exe to fix your problem.
In my case, the second option solved the problem.

"Worrying is goal setting in reverse."

By Wolf J. Rinke

Action Step

Do you currently spend more than 10 percent of your time worrying? If yes, get in the habit of asking yourself: What will happen if I worry really well? If the answer is "nothing," quit worrying and focus your energy on what you are doing right now or what you want to accomplish in the future.
