PMP®:CAPM®:PMI-ACP® - 3 ways to overcome fear of failure

Let's first understand that fear of failure is imaginary. It is actually more damaging than failure. 
It is a constant negative force which stops people from taking action. 
It curbs growth. 
It makes people postpone what needs to be done. 
Let me get to the point straight. 
In the case of PMP®/CAPM®/PMI-ACP® aspirants, fear of failure stops them from taking the exam after completing the 35 contact hours training. 
They say if I fail the exam, I'll lose the money. Instead of focusing on the benefits after clearing the exam, they focus on money loss in failing the exam. 
How to deal with the fear of failure. These 3 ways will help in dealing with that. 


PMP®:CAPM® - 2 Mnemonics in Quality Management

At VC4U, we love mnemonics, as it is a memory aid. Human memory words by association. To keep a list of terms in memory you need to associate with pictures or other easy and common words. People who do memory records use the power of visualizing. They remember the many things that are shown to them in the same order with the help of visualizing. 

Mnemonics works by associating a list of terms with another word or phrase. The more crazy the mnemonic is, the more easy it is, to remember and recollect (of course this is important) the related terms.  

Though mnemonic involves the use of words, we use pictures portraying the mnemonic. This will help to easily recollect the mnemonic. The first time you frame a mnemonic and try to recollect it the very next day you might fail to recollect it. After all, success is a group of failures. Second time you try you will improve a little bit. Third time you will get full correct. After that it stays there for a long time.
