It was another nice day Wednesday as we held our weekly Zoom meeting. President Bob got it started promptly at 12:00pm by reciting the pledge of allegiance, and then the 4-way test.
Be a "life planster"
Going right into our speaker, Anwar introduced Sara Marks, a librarian at UMASS - Lowell. Sara gave a talk about her journey from failing out of college to becoming a successful author. Her first book, Modern Persuasion, was published in 2017 and she has published 10 other titles since then. She calls herself a "Life Planster” and talked about the Power of Failure and the Importance of Setting Goals. Her goal setting methodology is called WOOP, which stands for Wish, Outcome, Obstacle and Plan. For more information on WOOP you can visit woopmylife.org.
