☆ If you have 1 key skill, you're mentally stronger than most—and in today's world, mental strength is 'a must-have'
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-20 | by ( Scott Mautz | In Scottmautz | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

A key opportunity lies in everyday scenarios that often go wrong, eroding your mental strength versus building it up. Don't underestimate the negative impact that landing in the "poorly" column here can have on your life and career. "Bad" events, emotions, information, and feedback are more influential than "good" ones, research shows. Events involving negative emotions, for example, are four times more likely to be remembered than those involving positive emotions. If the person offering feedback truly wants you to get better, and you do too, you can work toward that goal together.

After a second trial, the siblings were convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.

When Lyle threatened to expose his father, he testified, Jose appeared to threaten him and his brother.
