Body Language



When words do not match what the body is saying, better to rely on the body as that is a far more accurate reflection of feelings, attitudes and intentions.


Body language comes into its own. These days, especially when many people are becoming more forthcoming in their interaction with each other, potential lovers are a lot less subtle than they used to be.


If you want to make a good first impression, use luck-bringing body language! In addition to smiling and making good eye contact, show the palms of your hands as this is an inviting gesture. Keep your arms unfolded and your legs uncrossed and your body leaning slightly forward. These are welcoming signals that send out a positive message. Don’t forget to show a hint of a smile!


The next time you attend a social event, observe how people who are strangers to one another will subconsciously try to match each other’s body gestures. When people are at the ‘making friends’ stage, they tend to mirror each other’s gestures in a subconscious effort to reach out. When someone introduces you to a “new” friend, see if he/she crosses his or her arms - this is a sign that tells you the other person is unsure of you. You can then also subtly cross your arms to mirror the gesture. But smile and lean forward as you do so, to send a non-verbal but friendly message that you want to make friends; then check if your message has been understood and taken positively by uncrossing your arms. If the person you are interacting with likes you he/she will definitely follow suit by also uncrossing his/her arms.

How to be a leader

You can’t become a leader just by saying you are. Being a leader is to spend time developing the quality, attitude, bearing, manner and apperance of a leader.

Without followers it is not possible to be a leader, a leader is unable to function any organisation by themselves. Leader are people who want to get things done through cooperation and not just for personal gains, and they have ability to listen to internal and external advice before making decisons. Leader are people who not only command respect from their peer group but from their superiors and subodinates and they are accepted as, and are seen to be, capable of accepting responsibility and accountability. "Six traits of effective leaders: 1. Make others feel important; 2. Promote a vision; 3. Follow the golden rule; 4. Admit mistakes; 5. Criticize others only in private; 6. Stay close to the action. Example has more followers than reason. We unconsciously imitate what pleases us, and approximate to the characters we most admire."– Christian Nevell Bovee

Leadership is not about the product, profit, and plant, but it is about people. Moreover, it is not an science, but an art.

From financial crisis to oil and food crisis, it makes the world economic is starting slowdown . The price of oil and goods is increasing every day, it affects so much on our everyday lives.

We should learn how to spend money smart than ever. I think what we can do is be stingy person. If we don't do that, it makes us in big trouble. It's not too difficult, and we should start with thing around us. Starting with the new idea of saving and economical.

Hopefully, this is will help you to save up and spend money less but wise.

1. Distinguish between Wants and Needs. For this period, just find and buy what you most important need for your task.

2. Try before you buy is good idea that will not let you spend money on useless or not important things

3. Going out occassionally is important to save up your money on fuel filling and on restaurant.

4. Check it out everything in your house or office to make sure you don't turn on light or any stuff.

To do this thing, it helps you to save more money. I think is not difficult , but just decrease the happiness of life. I hope you can share any new ideas with me on this matter.
