Can you teach an old dog new tricks?

Yes! Animals who have undergone training in disciplinary schools can attest to that. Bark twice for yes!

Can we say the same for human beings? Can we exchange our job for one in a different industry? Will we learn all the new tricks of the new trade?

Are you a left or right brainer?

 A person who uses their left brain more than the right brain is
called a left “brainer”. These groups of people show that they are introverted,
intuitive thinkers, who respond more to abstract ideas than concrete people and
things. They think in terms of logic and reasoning.

 In contrast, right-brainers are most comfortable thinking in
concrete and dealing with expressed feelings. They are “people” people.

 At this point in reading, you must already know which type
of brainer you are. It is possible to use the whole brain to your full
advantage. Try to develop ways to use your other brain.

 If you’ve been using your left brain more, choose a new
hobby that practices using your right brain. Dancing, singing, painting and
other physical skills engage the right brain and develop it.

 If you’re a right brainer, then you should choose a hobby
that engages your thinking skills. Chess, puzzles and other mentally
stimulating hobbies are good.

 Your social circle and environment can help you to grow.
Make friends and talk to people in vocations that are different from yours. If
you are a leftie, make friends with those who use their right brains
predominantly. If you are a right brainer, mix and mingle with those whose jobs
use plenty of thinking skills. Learn how these groups of people think and act.
You will understand them and also pick up the skills to use your left or right
brains better.

 Have you already done the facilitation? Do you feel yourself
realizing your full potential?

How To Prevent Clogged Sinks And Drainage Pipes.


Do you spend money and time using a plumber to clear a clog?
Prevention is better than cure. Using basic housekeeping care, one can keep the
drainage clear.

 Old newspapers can be used to wipe off crockery and cooking
utensils free of food and grease before washing them in the sink or dishwasher.
Crush a piece of newspaper and it becomes an absorbent material to soak up the
grime. If you don’t want to make your hands black from printer’s ink, use
toilet roll paper.

 Don’t even think of discarding leftover fluids into the
sink. They will cause clogs. Pour them into a plastic bag and throw it out in
the trash or garbage disposal.

 After each bath and shower, collect all dropped strands of
hair and dispose in the trash.

 Avoid washing very dirty or greasy hands at the sink. If you
own an outdoor water outlet, use that. Try using paper towels to clean off
before splashing the freed baddies down the sink.

 Just like people who need regular detoxification and cleansing,
the sink and you will be happy with the specialized cleaning products. These
will remove organic buildup of remnants and dirty scale before they cause you
the greater inconvenience of a choked sink.

 When shopping for drainage scourers, read the fine print.
Choose one that states it doesn’t corrode the metal or whatever material
your pipes are made of.

 By taking care of your sink, it will remain a faithful to
you and stand up to its expected duties.

 Do you keep bleaching agents handy by the sink? Check that
they are suitable for your pipes. A few bucks of pinched savings can chalk up
bigger bucks in penalties.

Green Thumbs Don’t Make Green Bucks.

 

If you’re a green newcomer considering a job in sales, my
general advice is to stay away from the big ticket items that are long lasting.
For example, how often do you get repeat customers for staples like a car, household
appliances, and Furnishings?

 Selling food and necessities rake up much more in quantities
albeit in smaller profits. The slow but steady trickle accumulates into a pot
of gold at the end of your rainbow of hard work.

 Do you prefer the big bucks or the slow but steady stream of
money?

Effective Communication

When you talk, do people really listen? Do you get the end results the way you want them?

How well people understand you depend on how well you communicate your desires to them.

The first step to eloquence is to be aware of yourself. Carry yourself well when talking. Bring your message across in all the ways verbal speech can accomplish. Talk as though it were your last chance to discuss the issue. Rightly, you may never come this way again as time and opportunity waits for no one.

A Mentor.

From Mother to Teacher to Mentor…

As life progresses, we journey through the stages of being reliant on a mother, teachers and then finally mentors.

The mother and teachers are assigned to us but we can choose our mentors in the later stages of life.

How do we pick a suitable role model for a mentor?

Certainly,it needs to be someone positive with all the right attributes like a good communicator, successful career or vocation practitioner.

In return, a good mentor should be a responsible and committed person. He should advise in the best interests of his / her charge.

Where do you look for mentors? Some companies provide employee support and appoint buddies / mentors to advice and nurture new talents, It is within the best interests of the company to polish their light bulbs to give the brightest glow.

If you’re very lucky, a mentor happens along your way without you actively seeking them out. The mentor can be a boss, colleague, good friend, relative or a professional from an external mentoring company.

A mentor is supposed to help you soar. Have you got one?
