What damages your confidence the most?

Praise and encouragement are essential ingredients in our lives, yet the majority of people are denied them because we are inclined to praise if our confidence is high and to be critical if our confidence is low.

Newsviners, What is your Christmas Wish?

Proposal: RAV for Bill Gates

It's not that I'm flatterer or yes-man, but I think that Bill Gates should get RAV. Of course, we should get Bill to register as Newsvine member first, but I think he would be happy to do that after receiving the RAV.

At last, we are happy to announce that Viki Gonia, aka VikiBabbles, is just the 15th Newsviner to ever receive the Random Act of Vineness award. Long overdue - we want to recognize not only the big things Viki has done, but also the many small things.

Brother, can you spare a RAV, or two?

Jim Dent's this article is a commendable effort on his part. He pulled in people of Newsvine to contribute in order to get a laptop to fellow Newsviner Rob Ballew who's currently serving in Iraq and doesn't have a laptop and has to wait in line in order to use the internet.

The Newsvine Cyborg (aka Newsvine Blog) is going into overdrive after a long bout of robotic-writer's block.

For What It's Worth: I Nominate Brian Ford for an RAV

Over the last couple weeks a few discussions have popped up regarding Newsvine's highest honor (short of the wet-dream of being hired to work for the company) the Random Act of Vineness.

Give Me A Friggin' RAV, DANGIT!

I've been sitting here doing nothing far too long. It's like being at arm's reach from a scrumptious burger (I'm really hungry, by the way), and sitting there not eating it. Me? I'm going to dive face first into that burger and devour it alive -- formalities ignored.
