Make the first impression last

When you are interviewing for a job,one of the keys to success is your first impression.If you are about to go in for an interview,maybe it is time to re-evaluate the first impression you give off. Do you come off as likable?Do you exude professionalism and charm?
The goal of every first impression is to stick to a person's brain.You want them to instantly like you and keep thinking about you hours or even days after your first met them.Here are few things we can all do to give a killer first impression.
     Dress to impress: You do not want to walk into an interview looking like a slob.If you look sloopy;people will assume you do sloppy work.Look neat and presentable.Also,dress so you will fit in with the people who are interviewing you.For attorneys that means conservative suits,white shirts and ties. If your job is more creative,say like a graphic designer,dress so it looks like you are creative.
       look fit:People are attracted to people in good physical shape.If you are out of shape,start heading to the gym everyday for 30 minutes of cardio and strength training .Also,quite eating junk and start eating healthy.
      Give an impressive handshake:The first hand shake is a key part in giving a good first impression.
      Focus on speaking:
Speak clearly and at a moderate pace.work on varying your voice intonation.You do not want to come off as a monotone bore.Also,speak the language of the person interviewing you.Avoid slang and jargon not associated with the job you are interviewing for.Use proper grammar and  vocabulary that reflect a higher education.If people cannot understand you,it is hard for them  to like you.
       Use the person's name:
Using the interviewer's name makes the conversation more personable .It also shows that you were paying attention during introduction and that the other person was important enough for you to memories their name.However,avoid overusing a person's name.Too much name use sounds fake and a little bit creepy.
       Let the person know you are listening:
If it looks like you are not listening,people will be turned off.Give subtle hints that you are listening such as looking the person in the eye,nodding 'I' see'.Also,ask questions about what someone had just said.It shows you have been paying attention and that you want to know more about what they are saying.Finally, do not interrupt.
       Shine the spotlight on the other person:
The secret to charm is directing attention away from you and on to the other person.Avoid blabbing about yourself and start asking questions about the other person.Like,'How did you end up at(name of company)?' and so on.You will not only get key insights about your potential employer,but the questions also require the interviewer to talk about themselves,which most people absolutely love................Agencies

Three little but very powerful words

The following three-word phrases can enrich every relatioship.All you need to do is say it out loud and see how things change for good.These are just
I'll be there
If you have ever had to call a fruend in the middle of the night,to take a sick child to hospital or when your car has broken down some miles from home,you will know how good it will feels to hear the phrase"I'll be there."Being there for another person is the greatest gift.We can give.When we're truly present for other people,important things happen to them and us.We are renewed in love and friendship.We are restored emotionally and spiritually.Being there is at the very core of civility.


I miss you
Perhaps more marriage could be saved and strengthened if couples simply and sincerely say to each other"I miss you." This powerful affirmation tells partner they are wanted,needed,desired and loved.Consider how ecstatic you would feel,if you received an unexpected phone call from your spouse in the middle of your workday,just to say"I miss you."
I Respect You/I Trust you
Respect and trust is another way of showing love.It conveys the feeling that another person is a true equal.If you talk to your children as if they were adults you will strengthen the bonds and become close friends.This applies to all interpersonal relationships.
 Maybe You're Right
This phrase is highky effective in diffusing an argument and restoring frayed emotions.The flip side to "maybe you're right" is the humulity of admitting maybe"I'm wrong." which is saying,in other words,that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.
I Thank You
Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy.People who enjoy the companionship of good,close friends are those who don't take daily courtesies for granted.They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness.On the other hand,people whose circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude of gratitude.
Count On Me
A friend is one who walks in when others walk out.Loyalty is an essential ingredient for true friendship;it is the emothinal glue that bonds people.Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and true friends.When troubles come, a good friend is there indicating "you can count on me."
Let Me Help
The best of friends see a need and try to fill it.When they spot a wound they do what they can to heal it.Without being asked,they pitch in and help.
I Understand You
People become closer and enjoy each other more if they feel the other person accepts and understands them.Letting your spouse know in so many little ways that you understand them,is one of the most powerful tools  for healing relationship.This applies to any relationship.
Go For It
We are all unique individuals.Don't try to get your friends to conform to your ideals.Support them in pursuing their interests,no matter how weired they seem to you.Everyone has dreams,dreams that are unique to that person only.Support and encourage your friends to follow their dreams.Tell them to "go for it."
I love You
Perhaps the most important three words that you can say.Telling someone that you truly love them satisfies a person's deepest emostional needs.The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted.Your spouse,your children,your friends and you,all need to hear those three little words"I love you.".........unknown

Exercises relieve tension

A healthy body is a formidable weapon to combat stress.Even if your job is physically taxing,the exercise below are designed to help you unwind,relax,and reduce stress.
  • Blow it off:
Breathe in while tucking in your tummy and feel the air as it expands your lungs and chest.Breathe in to the count of four and hold it for two counts.Then exhale to the count of four.Take two to four deep breathes several times a day and soon daily stressors may well be gone with the wind.
  • Get up and stretch:
Visualise the stress flooding from your back,legs,your shoulders and pour out of your fingertips and toes.Add to your stretches by taking the time to learn a few yoga positions.Which you can fins in books and videos as well as yoga classes.
  • Squeeze a lemon:
PT Barnum said"when life hands you a lemon,make lemonade!"Squeezing a lemon or tennis ball is a good way to keep your fingernails from biting into your palms! If you crush the fruit or the tennis ball,either get a rubber ball or go on to a more vigorous exercise to reduce your stress.
  • Progressive relaxation:
This is especially beneficial when stress keeps you from getting a good night's sleep.Star at your toes and 'tell' them to relax.When you feel them relaxing move to your feet,ankles,calf muscles,knees,thighs and so on up your head or alternatively down through your arms to your fingertips.



  • Dance:
Join an aerobics class, a taichi class or just turn on the tunes and dance.Dancing has a double advantage as along with exercise,music is a great stress reducer..........................................Agencies

Gardening in the ground

Root Vegetables grow out of sight.Often you don't know if there is a problem until you harvest them.Experience is a great teacher,but here are some tips to get you started on the right track,towards growing a successful crop of all sorts of root vegetables.
A general tip for all kinds of root crops is that the soil needs to be loose enough for them  to send down roots. If the soil is compact or rocky.the roots will be come distorted and forked.If you have extremely poor soil,you will be better off growing root crops in raised bed.you could devote one section of your vegetable garden to this raised bed and rotate your root crops in it,throughout the season.
  • Beets
Beets are considered a root crop,but the leaves are edible too.probably the hardest part about growing beets is thinning the plants.The seeds are in clusters and when they sprout,they are all crowed together.The good news is that you can eat any plants you thin.the tender greens are a great addition to salads and stir fries.Beets grow quickly and taste best when harvested small and young.You can pull some and reseeds,for a continual harvest.
  • Carrots
Carrots are such a popular vegetable,you would think they'd be easier to grow.The long,thin carrot you most commonly see takes several months to mature.While you are patiently waiting for them to fill out,there are many pests below and  above the soil that don't wait for maturity to start eating your carrots.So growing carrots takes some experience and a watchful eye.
If you've had poor luck growing carrots you might have more success growing one of the shorter varieties,like 'paris market ' or 'Little Finger'.They mature faster,are just as sweet and crunchy as longer carrots and you can be eating earlier and replanting through out the summer.
  • Garlic
If you find a garlic variety you like and that grows well for you,you have the bonus of being able to save cloves to replant year after year.The bulbs will get fatter and tastier.
Few things bother garlic,except competing weeds and drought.Garlic is generally planted in late fall and is ready for harvest early the following summer.If you're growing hard neck garlic,you'll get the added treat of garlic scapes,twirling,edible flower stalks with a subtle garlic flavour.
  • Onions
Is there more useful vegetable than onions? just think of all the recipes that start  off with sauteing onions.Onions are fairly easy to grow.It's planting them that takes a lot of work. You have three options.You can start them from seed,from transplants or from sets,tiny onions bulbs.The sets are the easiest to plant and the quickest to mature.Onion seed generally needs to be started indoors,in order to give them enough time to mature in one season.And they will have to be transplanted as seedlings.
  • Potatoes
While potatoes are not root crops,they grow under similar conditions and so they are included in this list potatoes are a stem tuber.There is an incredible diversity of potatoes and the only way to sample them is go grow them yourself.They are easily stared from pieces for actual potato and grow fairly easily,although there are several pests vying for their attention. Potatoes are easy to grow in containers.
  • Radishes
Radishes are one of the most popular vegetables  for backyard gardeners.They're quick growing and easy to pop into tonight's salad.You wouldn't think radishes could pose so many growing problems.but they do.most radish problems happen when you try to go grow them in warm weather.Radishes need soil cool enough to keep them from bolting,but warm enough so they mature quickly.
  • Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are tuberous roots and are usually grown from slips,small rooted pieces of the tubers.They aren't often grown in cooler climates because they need about a four month growing season.However there are varieties that are better suited to northern gardens and it's quite easy to start plants in containers and move them out when the soil has warmed.
