Whatever your favorite music style may be, it has been scientifically proven that music affects a person's mood.

Human beings are not logical, and it is rather difficult to walk the talk at times. Although we are only superficially informed of it, there is a way to manage this seemingly chaotic pool of emotions with an important tool called, "emotional intelligence". Awareness of your own potential and Shortcomings allows you to focus on your good qualities, work on your flaws, and also helps you to be more tolerant towards others. It also teaches you the difference between being self-conscious and being selfish, and how far you should put others! needs above your own, without being taken advantage of. There is absolutely nothing wrong with feeling emotions such as anger, jealousy or frustration. Some feelings manifest our principles or protect us from danger. You don’t have to actually.feel anger, when reacting in an angry manner, in order to cause a desired effect on somebody else. ‘There are ways of influencing other people and keeping emotionally healthy. The issue arises when you act on those feelings and do things you might regret later on. Introspection is not a very familiar exercise to us, but it is basically like disciplining yourself to work out every day, Studies claim ‘that feeling angry andibearing grudges are bad for your health and can even cause you heart problems and other diseases. Keep a diary of your reactions and reflect on why you behaved a certain way and whether that one attitude or response is worth repeating in future similar situations.

Initially, it sounds bizarre to tell a friend you had a debate with the author of the book you are currently reading because it is not technically a debate, but it sure is an excellent and intriguing exercise. Obviously, some gripping stories will drive your curiosity to the last page as fast as possible. Try this the next time you read a book. When you are finished reading it, reflect on and review what you read, and how it compares to your experiences, how it challenges your principles and life outlook; then keep the book or throw the knowledge gained away. You can engage with the author as you go, not just when you finish the book. Ponder over the issues presented, take notes, and try to apply the ideas; then add it to your bucket of knowledge in that area. As authoritative as a literary work may be considered in a certain field, it should not be taken as the only trustworthy source of information. Books can carry a reader to new worlds and through. many new experiences. Reading can be a form of escape and adventure for the reader. But there is more on a page than the words you read. You can discover what the author was thinking or feeling wheh they wrote the book. Also, there is symbolism, political persuasions, and hidden values that the author tried to portray as he/she wrote the words. After you have learned to read between the lines, you will be able to understand the author's state of mind at the time of writing the book, which will help guide your reading and help you better understand the author's intentions. = ‘WIZARDca} Cenc cn Uae te[e) Ponder before making any decision.

The fear being that if you did not invest in a career that you felt jinely related to, you would find yourself going from job to job and feeling very frustrated. Things that you may have used to make your decision could have been subjects ‘that you studied in school. Some subjects that you found boring you probably didn’t doaswellin. Other classes raised your interest, and you may have foundyourself the first to raise your hand and come up with the answers or even better, with good questions. This ability to relate to a subject or ease in understanding is called aptitude. IQ tests were used to assess aptitude in students, but when they observed that some children had low scores in logics and math, but were really good at expressing themselves through speaking, writing or sports, many skeptics emerged. Gifted musicians or born athletes seem to discover their abilities without any lesson or training. These inborn skills are called talents. All kinds of intelligence tests and vocational tests are available to help you find out what career best fits your unique abilities and interests. Your score on these tests won't reveal what course you should take at the university or what business you should start. The tests can only be a guide for you to consider areas where you could possibly develop your potential. The scores on these tests reveal what you're good at and what you are passionate about. If it helps, observe how much you resemble your parents when you take action and tackle problems, Aptitude is believed to be partly hereditary. Spend some timewondering what your callingin life may be and make alist of ‘the answers you get. Think of something that fills you with great joy when you do it. That doesn’t necessarily mean that work is always going to be fun. There is always paperwork to complete and procedures to follow in every workplace that might wear you out from time to time. This is especially true if you're an artist, developer or designer, for instance. The insight you have from reflecting ‘on your aptitudes, talents, and interests will point you to the career that could be an important ingredient to your personal achievement and professional success. 46 eal s ‘WIZARDMicmiieene ly to read the book. | struggle to wake up early every single day.

New games and sequels of games are launched every year with enhanced graphics and resources that enticerplayers to grab hold of them as soon as possible and not stop until they have conquered’the game. But despite all of these cutting-edge options, vintage games are still holding strong among players. They reckon it's a tough competition, but they're up for the battles. Apart from all the fun and victory involved, many gamers seek to work on their personal networks by making friends all over the world, and they practice their English. If you struggle to learn how to play online games, keep trying. It takes a while to get the hang of it, incorporate the characters, and engage in the missions. At first, other players are just random strangers, but after a few attacks schemed together, you become a team. The general stereotype towards gamers has changed a lot over the past decade. Instead of being seen as shy people who lack’ social skills, lately, being a nerd has its charm. However, problems can arise when players get so engaged in their video missions that they lock themselves up in. their rooms, addicted to pursuing this virtual accomplishment. When this thappens, parents or friends must intervene. Playing games are just one of the entertaining ways you can spend your spare time. Online games can be a form of socializing, but should not take the place of in-person social interaction.

When remedy. needs to intervene, people tend to be impatient for the cures, and rely on the chemical reactions caused by the drugs bought at the nearest pharmacy. Due to the desperation for relief, blind trust is put in medications. Over-the-counter medicine is purchased based on quick decisions with little regard as to the source of the remedy or its side effects, How long will it take to make you feel better? How soon will it get tid of the pain? These are your subconscious questions whenever medicine is prescribed to you because these are the questions that are on the top of your mind. Medications and alternative medicine are both ways to treat an illness, but the latter may actually be a better form of treatment and prevention. While most people are driven to conventional doctors for advice as their first option, more and more are turning to alternative medicine. Painkillers and antibiotics have been replaced by homeopathic doses and acupuncture sessions, Bach flower drops have become the new anti-depressant, and why go see a shrink if there's meditation? Alternative medicine is the umbrella term for these alternative treatment options. Alternative medicine practitioners have had a steady increase in the market due to a recent shift in public preference. Even if it is for a trivial headache, drugs that are administered too often may have serious side effects in the long run, if not right away. Also, the immediate results provoked by conventional drugs are considered simply soothing rather than actual remedies. The holistic approach of alternative medicine assists patients to adopt new habits and eliminate the original cause of pain and discomfort. For instance, chiropractic adjustment relieves muscle tension and instructs patients on postural correction. Agreat deal of people are skeptical towards these practices because they were once associated with mystical healings, and did not follow the science of Western medicine. Despite that, their efficiency has opened the doors to a new market for those in search of healing. =< WIZARDaa eRe nonin | expected her to react differently to the news.

In other words, you see people and the world from a different perspective; you become more prone to respecting differences. by observing how foreigners act and react to universal stimuli and scenarios. Due to the fact that you're continuously learning lists of new words, you're automatically exercising your memory and building new connections in your brain that keep it healthy and enhance your reasoning and creativity. Your memory benefits from learning new languages. It's always motivating to compare your abilities as an English student naw to when you had just started learning English in order to see how much progress you have made, Not very long ago, making peculiar sounds and putting words together was somewhat challenging, and it demanded concentration and constant practice. Now you speak English effortlessly and know all those once confusing grammar rules by heart. Now you don’t need translators or interpreters when traveling or making a. presentation. Also, ifyou havea way with peopleand like to pass your knowledge and experience on, you could end up making a good language teacher. You will also get paid a higher salary than those who don’t speak another language. » Another bonus for knowing English, you have access to newly released material before it is translated, which may take several months.

Parents had control over a major part of teenagers’ lives, and tried to pass on morals and responsibilities to their children. In today's world, teenagers are far more independent. In fact, it seems that parents are taking an entirely new approach to parenting, allowing the media and outside sources to take priority in their teens’ lives. Teens today are more motivated by rewards like gadgets, money, and time with friends than they are by obedience or good values. Many parents are prone to let their teens have whatever they want or spend their time doing what they please, thus creating a generation of teenagers ‘who feel entirely independent.

Most people experience a feeling of freedom right after moving into their own house. As time passes, that sense of freedom may sometimes evolve into feelings of loneliness. If you are an only child, perhaps you are not that eager to move into your own place as you have had your share of individualism. For those who slept in bunk beds and crowded rooms, the desire to move out and become independent may be stronger. The number of one-person households is increasing every year, shaping a new tendency to become independent from family and roommates. Being a singleton has its perks: you can do everything as you please, according to your timing and whim. You can watch whatever TV shows you'd like, and you can listen to loud music too. You can have anyone over. How fun is it to have friends come over for a dinner party? No curfews, no closing the bathroom door, no cleaning up when you're not in the mood. It all sounds very exciting. You can put up the decorations you've always dreamed of, hang up those paintings you did yourself, plaster your bedroom walls with posters. and have the pet your younger brother is allergic to. In spite of all this leeway, there can come a day when you will miss staying up late at night chatting with your siblings or having your mother make dinner for you so that it is ready when you come home after an exhausting day of work. After a time, you will also find yourself full of quirks, like rolling the toothpaste tube a certain way, eating at a certain time, making decisions on your own, and coming and going without having to let anyone know where you are going. If you decide to share an apartment with someone again or get married, it can be tough to get rid of these habits. Adjusting to living with another person after living alone is sometimes very difficult and can lead to conflicts in the early stages of marriage.

But, prior to making it happen, it all starts in your mind. Although many of today's tycoons didn’t have a clear picture of what they wanted to achieve, they did have a specific goal in mind - one million dollars, a promising musical career, a consortium of language schools, a multinational software engineering company; it could ‘be just about anything. Unlike some entrepreneurs who inherit a considerable fortune and are given a head start to begin their businesses, many start from scratch. They are ordinary people who struggle to make ends meet; nevertheless, they do not let that distract them from their plan’ of success. Let’s take a look at a few of these people's stories. Bill Gates was raised in a middle-class family in Seattle. He was admitted to Harvard with an impressive SAT score, but quit college to invest in the software market. In 1975, Microsoft was founded and led the market in products for personal computers. Gates was ranked as the richest man in the world for over ten years. Ayoung Jewish New Yorker, Mark Zuckerberg was only 20 years old when he founded Facebook while he was a student at Harvard. His genius and hard work placed him among the richest people in the world in 2010, Steve Jobs revolutionized digital technology and made his fortune through his contributions to the electronics field with products designed by Apple, and the animation movie industry when he founded Pixar. JK. Rowling worked on the Harry Potter serles for 17 years. She lived a very poor life and went through depression after her mother passed ‘away. Writing helped her get over the tough times. With the series’ success, she donates money to many foundations. Oprah Winfrey was brought up ina poor urban neighborhood but became a millionaire at age 32 with the success of her talk show when it started to be broadcast worldwide.

We frequently react prematurely to breaking news, but who can tell if the media is biased or not? The news doesn’t always, if ever, tell. both sides of the story. Citizens of most countries claim to enjoy freedom of expression as one of their constitutional rights. But do we actually have freedom of expression, or are we conditioned to have the opinions that we have? The potential of media's positive influence is seen when broadcasters advertise avaccination ora healthy lifestyle, The coverage of sports events is also positive media as it brings entertainment and a sense of patriotism to viewers. Those types of media areaimed at benefiting the community. However, the media has been used for other, selfish purposes. Gossip magazines and tabloids’ biggest interest is in making fortunes on curiosities and sensationalism. They do this by uging our favorite artist’s new relationship status or unresolved quarrel between the director and main actor of a'soon- to-be-released; movie. Politicians ipredict the population’s behavior and preferences through polls. Then they use those predictions to focus their political campaign in order to win more votes. How can we rely on sources of information that advertise one thing and then turn around and contradict themselves? An example of this is when the media portrays the perfect person as being fit and thin but then turns around and tries to convince you toindulge yourself withlthe amazing flavors of junk food. Now ask yourself: is everything you are aware of based shaped upon your own personal experiences or by what the news has told you? The longer it takes for you to come up with a conclusion, the more objective your opinion is. We should weigh the pros and cons of the news and confirm the source's legitimacy. Filtering what you are fed by the medias the best way to determine what pieces of news are concerned about your welfare. 4 iowa ‘WIZARDme with the shocking news. Please don't startle me like that.

Professional athletes and Hollywood actors are used to interest viewers in breaking news. Their personal and public lives get so much coverage; many of them have become house- hold names. But while we love the entertainment they provide, are they being paid too much money? After all, with so many people in tough financial situations, it seems unfair to see images in tabloids of the rich and famous indulging themselves with expensive cars, homes, and parties. We should ask ourselves if the entertainment they provide is really worth that much money.

To be honest, that alluring dish will tempt you into grabbing a bite even thougli you rhay not be hungry. Your brain will somehow/signal that your cells are complaining that your blood is running out of nutrients * and this message will register in your mind as, ""m hungry." A short delay in catering to its demands will intensify that message and make you think, “I'm starving." even if you had a three-course meal not too long ago. Feasting on the most scrumptious recipes arranged in front of you and devouring every piece of edible treat you see may sound fantastic, but you are only imagining that it is healthy. Do you enjoy every bite you take or do you just wolf down your breakfast, lunch and dinner? Who knows what you do to your snacks?! Remember that regardless of how much and how fast you eat, your stomach signals back to your brain that you're feeling satiated only 20 to 30 minutes after eating. Then the empty stomach alarm goes off again after hours, and this cycle continues on and on. Even in fast food restaurants, you don't need to eat as fast as the food is made. Take your time and enjoy the meal you're eating. Taste the spice and savor: the texture. Observe it and name it. Is it crunchy, crispy, chewy or soft? Does it melt in your mouth? Does it make you want to eat more?

Such foods should be eaten every day, not just because you're trying to lose or gain weight, but to eat healthy. Bon appétit!© _____ 245 Let's go Eee MMe I've got to grab a few books at the library.
