“I’ve never let my schooling interfere with my education.” — Mark Twain We’re taught the basics of communication early in the classroom. To be able to read, write, and speak effectively, we had to learn vocabulary, grammar, spelling, handwriting, and pronunciation. They were, however, focused on the rudimentary goal of imparting or exchanging information. Communication goes much further than the academics of the written or spoken word. The purpose of communication is to build and grow connections with others at an emotional level. This is where classroom learning stops short and life learning kicks in. For many people, this transition can be rather jarring. The earlier you master communication skills, the better for you — and those around you. Here is the cheat-sheet to the 12 essential communication skills your school missed: Showing empathy Theodore Roosevelt said, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Empathy makes us human. We stop bei...

by   HENRIK EDBERG “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” Winston Churchill “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Maria Robinson “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” Anais Nin One of the most common questions people ask me via email is  how to become more of an optimist . So this week I’d simply like to share three habits that can help you to get started with that. I use these myself just about every day to stay optimistic in pretty much any situation. It may sometimes take a while before I find an optimistic thread of thought but these three habits usually help me to do it. 1. Ask yourself questions that let you see the optimistic viewpoint. When I’m in what seems like a negative situation my most common way of making something better out of that is to ask myself questions that promote optimism and h...

1. Sense of Humor You don't have to be a stand-up comedian, but there are few things more attractive than a woman that can make a man laugh. That's sexy. 2. Style It doesn't matter what the style is , as long as you're confident about it, good for you. 3. Mysteriousness Being mysteriousness is sexy. Men are drawn towards girls who can't be read like an open book. 4. Happiness Not satisfied and complacent, but genuinely happy. 5. Confidence Men find a women's confidence sexy. The way you carry yourself or the way you talk to him confidently plays a big part in not only how much they respect you, but how much they are in awe of you. 6. Decisiveness Men like it when a woman has a say and isn't afraid to voice it. This assertion could be something as simple as suggesting a restaurant you can go to or deciding on which movie to see. 7. Kindness It doesn't matter how pretty or sexy you are — if you're mean, you're no fun to be ...

1. Eat Berries With Breakfast Berries are an incredible food, rich in nutrients for our brain, our digestion, and  they’re disease-preventative.  They’re also a fresh source of produce and keep us fuller than processed cereals with dried fruits. Add 1/2 cup of your choice frozen or fresh berries to either a smoothie, oatmeal, or just have some with some unsweetened coconut yogurt and a little chia or flax seeds. Berries are also a great source of  vitamin C  to kickstart your immune system. 2. Eat One Green Food Per Day Eating one green vegetable per day or one leafy green is a great way to get yourself healthier in the kitchen without much thought. It can be a cup of broccoli at dinner or spinach snuck into a smoothie. A cup of green beans at dinner or some leafy kale tossed with chopped sweet potato and some simple seasonings. Anything counts, just make sure it’s green, natural, and from the earth. These foods provide us with  more nutrition than any fo...

Learn proper portion size.  To avoid eating too much of even the healthiest foods, keep track of how much you're eating. For most people, meat servings should be about the size of a deck of cards and other servings vary by the type of food. Vary your meals.  When the cafeteria has your favorite foods daily it can be easy to return to those old favorites every day. Changing up your diet from day to day is an important part of good nutrition so take advantage of the variety of selections available to you. Eat breakfast.  Start your day off right with a good meal when you get up. Whether you're rolling out of bed at noon or up at the crack of dawn for class, make sure you start your day with a balanced, healthy meal. Keep healthy snacks around.  It's easy to eat healthy if you keep the Cheetos at bay and stock your dorm room with fruits and other healthy snacks. You'll be more likely to reach for these than junk food if you keep them nearby or in your backpack. Dri...

As the saying goes men will be men! While it is great in some respects, the last thing you want in is to be in a relationship with a guy who tells barefaced lies, without batting an eyelid! It can be emotionally and psychologically devastating for the partner to experience especially, when it involves infidelity. The cornerstone of any healthy relationship is to be true and honest with one another most if not at all times.   Some of the tell tale signs that you are in relationship with a man who has no qualms in lying are: The single card:  Most men pretend to be single and ready to mingle at the drop of a hat. Even if they are in a relationship most will not hesitate to claim that they are footloose and fancy free, by claiming to be single. I am not into womanising : If you hear a man make that oft repeated claim you need to be on your toes. They will check out every eligible female they set their eyes on, and gladly flirt at the drop of a hat but will proclaim – me a womanis...
