People with great personalities are motivated to becoming the best version of themselves. Set goals for yourself, both personally and professionally, so you can reach your full potential. For instance, you might set a short term goal of working out three times this week. Your long term goal could be getting a promotion at work within a year. Make sure that the goals you set for yourself will push you beyond your comfort zone in some way. Otherwise, you will not grow from them. In order to achieve your goals, you'll need a plan. Write down what you want to do and each step required to achieve it. Celebrate at each step as you make it through! For instance, if you want to get a promotion, you might make it your goal to nail the presentation you have coming up. You might also set a goal of arriving to work early each day, taking on additional tasks, and completing a training to advance your skills. Trying something new can help teach you perseverance and improve your work ethic, both of which are important to personality. Identify something you want to learn or improve upon and start at it soon. You might choose something like cooking or learning a new language.

Q: Use a cordless drill with a 2.125in (5.40cm) hole saw attachment to open up a hole along the end of the door where the knob or handle will go. Drill halfway through one side, then flip the door over and finish boring through the opposite side. Once this is done, switch to a 1in (2.5cm) hole saw and drill directly into the edge of the door to make room for the latch. Now that you're done assembling your door, you can focus on giving it an eye-catching finish. Smooth on 2-3 coats of water-based alkyd paint in your shade of choice using a handheld sash brush, allowing the paint to dry between coats. Apply stains with a foam brush or rag and add or remove the stain a little at a time until you achieve the desired depth of color. Most water-based paints take about 24 hours to dry completely. If you opt to stain your door instead, it should be ready for a follow-up coat in 12-24 hours, depending on the product you're using. Plan on using at least 2 coats to get the smoothest, most uniform finish possible. If your door is intended for a garage, shed, workshop, or similar structure, it's a good idea to weatherproof it before you put it up. Brush a clear coat of polyurethane sealant or wood varnish onto each of the door's surface, including the outer edges. Use the tip of your brush to work the sealant deeper into grooved trim and other contoured areas. Exposure to the elements could cause your door to warp, crack, or split over time, ruining all of your hard work. Even if you'll be hanging your door inside, a clear coat will prevent its finish from peeling or fading and keep it looking new for years to come. Sealants and varnishes tend to give off potent fumes. If possible, crack a window or leave nearby doors open to improve the ventilation in your workspace. . Slide the latch into the 1in (2.5cm) hole in the interior edge of the door and fasten it using the included screws. Align the 2 halves of the knob or handle on either side of the 2.125in (5.40cm) hole, then tighten the screws around the faceplate to secure it. If your latch hardware doesn't sit flush with the edge of the door, you may need to cut a shallow mortise for it by chiseling out the area around it. This will allow it to seat directly into the wood. Be sure to insert the latch so that the rounded edge faces the door jamb. If you put it in backwards, you'll have to turn the knob or handle all the way to get the door to close. . Use a tape measure to find the distance between the existing hinges on your doorframe. Position the new set of hinges on the inner edge of your door and trace around them with a pencil. Then, use a hammer and chisel to carve out a shallow mortise where each hinge will go. Finally, set the hinges in the depressions and screw them into place using a cordless drill. If there aren't already hinges in the doorway where you're hanging your door, you'll need to install both sets at the same time. Consult a door installation guide or online hinge calculator to determine exactly where your door frame hinges need to go, and how far apart they should be spaced. All that's left to do now is hang your completed door. Lift the door high enough to interlock both sets of hinges, then slide the hinge pins into the opening at the top each hinge and tap them down firmly. You're done! Create improvised shims from wood scraps or folded pieces of cardboard to hold the door at the correct height while you fit the hinges together. Once you've hung your door successfully, open and close it a few times to make sure it moves smoothly on its hinges. If your feel any unusual resistance, you may need to take it down and try again.
A: Bore holes for the lockset. Paint or stain your door to enhance its appearance. Apply a water-resistant sealant if your door opens to the outside. Install the latch and knob or handle Attach the hinges Mount your door by slotting its hinges into those on the door frame.

Article: Once you have determined what the problem is you can extend an offer to help. Make sure that your offer is genuine--do not offer to help if you are unable to or do not sincerely want to. Instead, extend an sincere and concrete offer of assistance. For example, your elderly mother might be having difficulty taking care of her home. Ask her if she would like you to hire a cleaning service or help her find an assisted care living situation. Being empathetic means that you try to put yourself in the other person's shoes. Once you know why this person is cranky, try to think about how you would feel in their situation. Then try to determine what would make you feel better. Elderly people are often lonely and this can account for their unfriendly disposition. Offer your company, and suggest an activity the two of you can do together, such as playing a card game. You might not be able to solve the other person's problem. Especially if you do not know the elderly person well, the situation might be out of your hands. What you can do instead is ask for assistance. Try reaching out to close friends or relatives of the elderly person to see what they suggest. Most cities have senior centers where older people can go for recreational activities. Other organizations, such as churches and libraries, also offer programs geared towards seniors. You could look up some local resources and provide that information to your neighbor or relative. This could be potentially very helpful and go a long way towards lifting their mood. It can be very draining to deal with a cranky senior citizen. The most important thing you can do is to remain positive. Remember that you are doing a good thing by being kind and helpful. Even if your help is not obviously appreciated, you are probably making an impact. Smile. When it is difficult to remain positive, try putting a smile on your face. Even if it feels false at first, the simple act of smiling will make you feel better and help you maintain a good attitude.
