Article: . Accepting yourself is crucial to having a positive identity. It's important to bear in mind that every human being in this world is different, and no two faces or bodies are the same. If there is no norm among human beings, how can there possibly be any form of inferiority? If you appreciate diversity in the world, you may begin to appreciate and accept yourself more. Make a list of all of the diverse aspects that you appreciate about the world. Some examples might be different: religions, cultures, environments, skin colors, talents, personalities. These variables are what make human beings, including yourself, interesting and unique. There is no 'normal' human being, and no 'normal' framework for a human being. Accept your differences in a positive manner. For instance "Yeah, I have big feet, but that's what makes me unique!" Look at your personal flaws or mistakes as opportunities to learn or to better yourself. Don't think of your unchangeable differences (color of your skin, height, etc) as flaws, classify them as unique qualities that make you who you are. Your 'inferiority' or defect can also be seen as a unique or individual quality. If it wasn't for those things, we might all be generic clones with no unique traits. . Nobody is perfect. They say the grass is always greener on the other side. If you focus on the idea that there will always be someone out there with more money than you, or better looking than you, you may struggle with feeling content. It may seem other people are perfect, but really, they have their own differences. When you compare yourself to others, stop and redirect your thinking. Think about your unique traits that are just as interesting. Tell yourself that it is okay to have these traits. Understand that most people aren't out there to judge you. Most people won't know about how poorly you did on your last math test, or how you've gained a little weight since last summer. . People who have self-acceptance are able to forgive past mistakes and not let these situations color who they are. Your history or mistakes do not define you. What you choose to do today and who you are in this moment defines you. Consciously admit your mistakes or regrets. Go through each one that stands out and forgive yourself for it. Say or think to yourself, "I made this mistake. I forgive myself for doing this. This does not make me a bad person. I will choose to not make this mistake again." Identify positive things that you have done or accomplished in the past. Some examples might include: graduating, passing a test, maintaining a relationship, accomplishing a goal, or helping another person. These positive events are likely to outweigh your mistakes and can help you focus on the good aspects of your history.

Article: In order to make sure you are making an apples-to-apples comparison, you must examine sales in a specific time period. You can examine the sales over the length of a quarter, a year, or over several years. All publicly-traded companies must release quarterly or annual financial statements. These statements will include a record of all of the firm's sales, and may also include an itemized explanation of sales of specific product or service types within the footnotes of the financial statements.. If the company you are examining sells a wide variety of products and services, it may not be useful to simply examine all of the revenue streams of the firm together. Look for information regarding its sales of a particular type of product or services. This is the total amount of sales (or revenue) the entire market is acquiring. The total market sales amount may be found through industry trade associations or publicly-available research reports. For a fee, companies such as NPD Group provide specific information about sales in a variety of national and international market sectors. Alternatively, you can add up the sales of the largest companies in a given product or service market. If a handful of firms dominate the industry with smaller firms making insignificant sales--such as major home appliances or automobiles--total the sales for all of the companies in the industry to calculate total industry sales. The result of this division equals your company's specific market share. So, if a firm made $1 million dollars selling a particular product and all firms in the industry sold $15 million worth of it, you would divide $1 million by $15 million ($1,000,000 / $15,000,000) to determine the market share of the firm. Some prefer market share to be represented by a percentage, while others do not even simplify it into the smallest possible fraction (leaving it as $40 million/$115 million, for example). The form you prefer is irrelevant, as long as you understand what figure represents.

Determine the period you want to examine for each company you are investigating. Calculate the company's total revenue (also called total sales). Find the total market sales. Divide the target company's total revenue by the entire industry's total market sales.
Article: You'll need fishing line, a mouse trap, ring caps, tent pegs, nails, screws, and rubber bands. Use a drill to screw through the mousetrap onto the top half of the tent peg. Use a screwdriver and wood screws to screw them together. The bait pedal is the metal rectangle part that the mouse steps on to release the trap. Drill a hole behind it through the mouse trap. You'll tie a knot over the bait pedal later. If your pop caps are in a ring, cut out individual ones. One should fit over a small nail head. Instead of pop caps, you can use a glow stick. You need to see where it's hitting the wood when it releases. Where the bow hits the wood along the sides, drill a small hole on each side. Hammer a nail in each hole. The head of the nail should face the bow as it swings down. In other words, the bow should come down and hit the nail on the head when the trap releases. If you're using a glow stick, drill four holes. Tie the glow stick on so that the bow hits it when the trap releases. If you want to camouflage your trap, paint the mousetrap and the pegs to match the surroundings. You can also paint the tent pegs before you attach the mousetrap. Securely tie the line to the other tent peg. Hammer the peg into the ground. Make sure the wire is taut across the path. Run it into the back of the trap to the front, and tie it to the bait pedal. Rubber band the tripwire onto the peg and the mousetrap. The rubber band will secure the tripwire. Add a pop cap to each nail head. Pull the bow down to arm the trap. When the tripwire is triggered, the mousetrap will hit the pop caps, making a loud bang. It will tell if a person is walking in the area. If you used a glow stick, the glow stick will light up when hit.
