			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify; ">Communication is a process in which one entity transfers information to another one. Communication is usually defined as &#8220;the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, ideas or information by the means of speech, writings or signs.&#8221; Communication is extremely important in todays world. It has become a necessity for a continued and healthy personal, social and business life. Some people are born good communicators. But for most of the ordinary people like us, communication skills have to be nurtured over time. Here are certain steps you can follow to improve your communication skills.</p>
<p><span id="more-156"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Firstly and most importantly, think before you speak. Be prepared before you address groups or individuals, especially in business. Plan your presentations before hand. Always have a general idea on what you would like to speak. Take time to clear out the point to your audience and always be honest. Wen communicating your attitude plays an important role, so don&#8217;t be rude and insensitive, always be sincere, respectful and accepting of other people.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Be a good listener. To improve your communication skill, always pay attention to what others are saying. Develop patience and good listening skills. Not only should you be able to speak efficiently but also be able to engage in interesting conversations on what the other person is speaking about. Do not listen to only the end of sentence to get an idea of what the speaker is saying, but also pay attention to whole sentences, this will help develop your communication skills.</p>
<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/How-to-Improve-Communication-Skills.png" alt="How to Improve Communication Skills"  width="128" height="80" align="right"></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Always make eye contact. Changing focus and looking here and there makes you seem less trustworthy in the eyes of your listeners. If you keep looking everywhere except where your audience is, it will make you look suspicious and hapless. This of course does not mean you should start a staring contest. Make sure you put your audience at ease by holding their eye gaze every once in a while. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you are speaking or listening, looking into the eyes of the person with whom you are conversing can make the whole conversation more enjoyable and fruitful. Eye contact generates interest and makes you look interested, encouraging successful social interactions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Be slow and clear. Do not blurt out words together or mumble. Speak clearly and with a confident voice. Speaking too fast will make your audience lose interest. Do not use words whose meanings you are not sure of. Speak loudly enough to be heard but not enough to make your audience reach for cover. An appropriate tone of voice and volume will give the audience a good opinion about you and make you look like you know exactly what you want say and that what you say is worth hearing. A monotonous approach to speaking is not a good idea, be lively and active.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Practice is the best way to improve your communication skills. The more you practice the easier it gets. New skills will take time to develop and practice is essential. Be aware of your body language. Body language is as important as speaking out the words. A relaxed look with arms by your side will encourage people to converse with you, inversely crossed arms and hunched shoulders give an impression of disinterest or unwillingness to communicate. The right body language can make the most difficult of conversations a cake walk.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Have the guts to be yourself. Speak out what you say. Be confident and know that your imputes to the conversation counts. People who are hesitant to speak because they do not feel their input is worthwhile often end up not speaking or adding to a conversation which they otherwise would have shined at. This world is a big place and there are bound to be people who think like you, seek out and don&#8217;t be shy, your opinions count too, its just a matter of perspective.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Marriages are made in heaven and celebrated on earth. Marriage is considered as the social union between two individuals. According to Confucius a famous Chinese philosopher, “marriage is a union of two different surnames, in friendship and in love.” many historians and essayists have defined marriage as, “a union between two persons, who live in harmony so absolute with each other, that they are independent of the world outside.” A Marriage is the unison of mental, physical and spiritual paths of two souls. The way of marriage has changed over time, as well as the institution.</p>
<p><span id="more-176"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">The selection of a partner for marriage involves either&#8211; the marriage may be arranged by couple’s parents, matchmaker or the couple going through selection process. Arranged marriage is made easier by formal   family procedures or group politics.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">To encourage marriage, a responsible authority may engage a professional matchmaker to find a suitable partner for an unmarried person. The authority could be family, parent, a religious official etc.</p>
<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/How-to-Improve-Your-Marriage.png" alt="How to Improve Your Marriage"  width="112" height="128" align="right"></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">But over time, the reason for getting married has not remained the same. Political promises are much like marriage vows. They are made at the beginning of the relationship between the candidate and the voter, but are quickly forgotten. Many people marry for the wrong reasons, like to overcome loneliness, to escape an unhappy parental homes, because they think that everyone is expected to marry, because only &#8220;losers&#8221; who can&#8217;t find someone to marry stay single, out of a need to parent, or be parented by another person, because they get pregnant, because &#8220;we fell in love,&#8221; &#8230; and on goes the list. These reasons eventually lead to consequences like complications in marriage, and ultimately lead to disastrous paths like that of a divorce.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, here are some ways by which you can improve your matrimonial life and live happily ever after.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Never      make the mistake of taking your better half for granted, always show      respect towards him/her. Take out time and make an effort to be kind,      loving, and appreciative towards your spouse. Try not to forget      anniversary or your spouse’s birthday.</li>
<li>If you      want peace and harmony in your house then, you both need to work on it. Share the daily chores of      your home. Clutter in the house can be really stressful for both of you,      so talk about how both of you can routinely contribute to keep the clutter      minimal.</li>
<li>Always      talk about your finances, when you have money it can come in between you.  If you are going through financial      problem it can create lot of misunderstandings between both of you. It is      better to talk with your financial planner and get things sorted out.</li>
<li>Be      honest towards one another, support each other’s goal and give your      partner enough strength to accomplish that goal.</li>
<li>Kindness      towards one another is great gift always remember this and be willing to      forgive.</li>
<li>Marriage      is considered as a lifetime commitment that requires tremendous effort      from both the partners. So, whenever you have problems bring it up gently      and without blame. Always repair the fight or argument before it goes out      of the hand.</li>
<li> Never expect your partner to change,      allow them to be the person they want to be. Enjoy each others company,      spend as much time as You can      with each other.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">An interpersonal skill is a social interaction to reach people. Interpersonal skills are frequently used in the professional world to see how easily a person can interact in the organization and relate with people. Interpersonal communicative skills will help you to reduce differences with other people and increase your participation in the tasks.</p>
<p><span id="more-181"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We start using interpersonal skills since the second we are born. Our interactions with others are influenced by good interpersonal skills. Having good interpersonal skills can increase the efficiency of the institution since there are no conflicts. In a relaxed situation, it makes the communication <strong>easy</strong> and simple. People with excellent interpersonal skills have the ability to control their emotions in tricky situations and react in an appropriate manner, rather than being emotional about it.</p>
<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/How-to-Improve-Interpersonal-Skills.png" alt="How to Improve Interpersonal Skills"  width="128" height="117" align="right"></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These interpersonal skills teach you how to use communication skills. An interpersonal skill is all about how well are you able to communicate with somebody.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here are a few ways by which you can improve your interpersonal skills.</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>There      are many people in organization who prefer a friendly, cheerful face      around them. Always try to keep a positive approach towards your work, be      pleasant and wear a smile everyday.</li>
<li>If      someone helps you with your work, be generous and say Thank You. Make sure      that you are polite to everyone. Politeness goes a long way it can help      you in career advancement.</li>
<li>Be      a good listener and friend to your colleagues. These qualities help a lot,      if your colleagues are want to share something, or just come over for a      chat they can always think of you.</li>
<li>Don’t      be self involved in work take some time out to become aware of what is      happening around you. If your colleague is getting married go and      congratulate them. If the person in the next desk has just lost a close      one due to an ailment, go over and share his/her grief.</li>
<li>Be      a good listener and offer to help your colleague or boss. Notice the      things happening around, if someone is having a workload go and share the      work with him/her.</li>
<li>There      one major problem in the office is “gossip”. Never talk behind anyone’s      back, if you notice that some people are gossiping, do not go over there      and be a part of the conversation. Rather ask your colleagues who have      problems with one another, to have a face-to-face conversation.</li>
<li>Whenever      there is an argument or conflict arising between your colleagues, you      should be the one to go and stop it. Give an appropriate solution for      their problems and ask them to try and work towards it.</li>
<li>Keep      a constant check on your ego you don’t have to be right always. Try to      accept criticism and insult from co-workers if you are wrong don’t let ego      come in between. This criticism and insult can prove to be constructive      for you in the long run.</li>
<li>Do      not judge anyone around you too quickly take your own time to understand      people. Always think twice before saying anything, avoid any kind of      misunderstandings. Always communicate in an effective way.</li>
<li>Be      funny and witty at work. Make your colleagues laugh with your humor. It a      great way to get people’s friendliness.</li>
<li>Stop      complaining about everything, your colleagues won’t like you whining      around them constantly. If you don’t like something’s around you try and      keep it yourself, or share it with your friends and family.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Memory is considered as a life form which has the ability to accumulate, preserve and remember information. Philosophy was the only field where the study of memory began it also taught the techniques, of increasing someone’s memory artificially. In recent times, philosophy has become an important branch of science. Learning is the gaining of knowledge, and memory is the restoration of this knowledge.</p>
<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/how-to-improve-memory.jpg" alt="how to improve memory"  width="116" height="116" align="right"/><br />
<span id="more-185"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are three important phases of memory:</p>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Sensory memory:  sensory memory is the ability to remember      or memorize anything that you have just seen a second before.</li>
<li>Short-term memory: this type of      memory permits you to remember a few minutes or seconds about an event.</li>
<li>Long-term memory: in long term      memory the data or information is stored for a long time with detailed      information. It can store infinite amount of information.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is always good to remember something’s like your best friend’s birthday, but the major problem is not everyone has a sharp memory. There are a few ways by which you can improve your memory, and with passing time you can have the skill to memorize every possible thing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here are a few easy ways by which you can improve your memory:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>There are many people who are convinced that they don’t have a good memory, they can’t remember anything and they just keep on forgetting things. Get rid of the demoralizing thoughts and try to improve your memory. Always encourage yourself that you have a good memory and it will certainly improve.</li>
<li>Give a try to some puzzle games daily like crossword, sudoku and a few others practice these puzzles everyday for at least 30 minutes. These games help you to exercise your brain which in turn improves your memory.</li>
<li>Do not take a lot of stress, constant stress causes brain damage and memorizing can be difficult. Try not to stress yourself so much, keep exercising on a regular basis. Exercise like yoga helps a lot.</li>
<li>There are many herbal medicines available in the market but do not opt for them because they have no effect. Always have a well nutritious diet, it works as a tonic to the brain, eat foods which are rich in antioxidants like spinach, broccoli, blueberries and berries.</li>
<li>We forget things not because we have a bad memory but we are not good observers. We usually forget the names of people whom we meet for the first time. To increase your memory you can try this simple exercise. Take an unknown photograph and observe it for a little while and now, keep the photo aside and try to pen down the details of the picture. Repeat this exercise everyday and you will come to know the changes yourself.</li>
<li>Whenever you are trying to memorize something avoid any kind of disturbances and concentrate hard enough to remember that thing. It is easier to remember if you are able to imagine it. Make the images in your mind as interesting as possible so that it is easier to remember it.</li>
<li>Keep all your essential things at the same place everyday such as keys, wallet, and eyeglasses. It will become easier for you to recollect.</li>
<li>Meditation is a good way to help you concentrate and also store your memory. “Mindfulness” is a type of meditation which is very useful in having a better memory. It is practiced in many western countries.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Have a good sleep. The quantity of sleep determines the brain’s ability to recollect things.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Outstanding success, more often that not, comes with a deep understanding and extensive knowledge of the exact meanings of English words, especially in this country. Vocabulary is defined as the set of words one is familiar with in a certain language. A person&#8217;s vocabulary grows steadily with given time. A good vocabulary serves as an extremely useful tool for communicating and acquiring knowledge in this modern world.</p>
<p>The specialized set of terms and distinctions which is particularly important to a certain group is known as &#8216;focal&#8217; vocabulary. Vocabulary or lexicon is a language dictionary; it&#8217;s a set of names for events, things and ideas. It is believed by linguists that lexicon used to influence people&#8217;s perceptions of things, such as; the Nuer of Sudan has an elaborated vocabulary to describe cattle.  The cattle have particular histories, economies and environment. Due to this reason Neur had dozens of names for cattle.</p>
<p>During infancy, increasing your vocabulary doesn&#8217;t require any effort. Infants mimic every word they hear, which they associate with actions and objects. This process is called &#8216;listening&#8217; vocabulary. &#8216;Speaking&#8217; vocabulary is the next step, which is when the child grows, and the expression of his/her thought requires more than mere gestures or sounds. Mistakes and irregularities of one&#8217;s language can come to light by reading and writing, by questioning and through proper education. On an average, a person learns more than 3000 words per year, which is about 8-10 words per day. Vocabulary can be improved by playing word games like scrabble, by reading good books, participating in vocabulary programs etc. A lot of dedication and practice is required to learn a word and be able to use it in its proper context.</p>
<p><strong>So let&#8217;s have a look at it one by one:</strong><br />
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/how-to-improve-vocabulary.jpg" alt="how to improve vocabulary"  width="113" height="122" align="right"/><br />
<strong> </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>There      are lots of ways to improve your vocabulary. First of all, it&#8217;s important      to know your goals to choose the best way in which you want to learn. The      best way to improve your vocabulary is by<strong> </strong>reading. Read lots of good books, newspapers etc.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Choose      the subjects that interest you the most. Write a brief introduction of      that subject and try to use as much vocabulary concerning the subject as      you can.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Create      a vocabulary tree, put your subject at the center of the paper,and put the      principle areas relating to the subject around the central subject such as      verbs, where, adjective, descriptive etc. It helps in providing      context.</li>
</ul>
<p align="center">
<p align="center">
<ul>
<li>Once      you are done with vocabulary, create a vocabulary theme; include a      definition and example sentence for each new item in your vocabulary      theme.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The best      way to learn something is to get involved in it completely, so use      technology. For this watch television, English movies, shows; get DVDs and      watch it, this in the best way to help you understand English.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Take specific      vocabulary words and work on it. E.g. the type of vocabulary related to,      school or hobbies,   rather than      studying a long unrelated vocabulary list.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Make word      formation charts as it is the only keys for advance level of learners. It      helps you to prepare for advance English tests such as IELTS, TOEFL etc.      the word formation chart provides you the concept of noun, pronoun,      adjective and verb forms of key vocabulary words listed in the      alphabetical order.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Create      a visual dictionary for yourself as it is said the one picture is worth a thousand      words. It helps you to learn precise vocabulary for your use.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Learn      collocations, the words that always go together are referred to<strong> </strong>as collocations. To do your work,      the lists of verb and noun collocations will help you learn some more      important words.</li>
</ul>
<p>You should also use &#8216;corpus&#8217;, it is a huge collection of documents and it can track how many times a word has been used. The best way to learn key vocabulary words is combine the corpora with the vocabulary tree for specific vocabulary goal or target areas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eyesight is also known as visual perception, sight or vision. It is the ability to see the surroundings and interpret them. This visual system helps individuals understand their surroundings and act accordingly. Some people need to improve their eyesight, especially people who have sight problems. Eyesight is one of the most important functions of the human body. If there is no eyesight, people tend to face many problems in life. Therefore, people who have eyesight problems must improve their sight. To improve their eyesight one must take good eye care. Eye problems are caused due to various reasons like pollution, unhealthy diet or some internal problems. Taking care of your eyes is a natural process. Here are some simple and easy steps on how to improve your eyesight.<br />
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/how-to-improve-eyesight.png" alt="how to improve eyesight" width="128" height="128" align="right"/></p>
<p><strong>Steps: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Start eating healthy food, which means natural foods that are rich in vitamin A. There are a variety of natural foods like tomatoes, spinach, carrots or turnips. Cucumber and potatoes are also good for maintaining your eyesight. If you are back home after a long tiring day, place some round pieces of potato or cucumber on your eyes for 10 minutes. This process will make your eyes feel fresh.</li>
<li>Make sure that your eyes are never dry; always ensure that your eyes or area surrounding it is never dry. You can use an eye cream to keep it well moisturized.</li>
<li>Drink lots of water, it helps in releasing essential toxins from the entire body. Drinking plenty of water will help in keeping your eyes healthy. If you still think that your eyes are not healthy, then you must visit a doctor and get your eyes checked.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Exercises for improving eyesight</strong></p>
<p><strong>Steps: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Take a comfortable chair and sit on it. Start rubbing your hands until you start to feel they are warm. Shut your eyes, take the palms of your hands and place them gently on your eyes. Ensure that light does not reach your eyes and there should be no gaps between your fingers. In this process, when you eyes are closed, you must imagine a dark black color and focus on that color. Always keep your breathing normal during this process, now imagine a happy place and if you still manage to see the black color, then take your hand out. You must repeat this entire process at least 7-8 times more.    <strong></strong></li>
<li>Next, you can close your eyes, and massage in circular motion on your eyes with the help of your fingers. Continue these massages for one minute gently; make sure that you do not put a lot of pressure on your eyes. Open your eyes, start rolling them in anti-clockwise and clockwise directions. You must do it at least 5 times and keep blinking your eyes in between.  <strong></strong></li>
<li>Next exercise will be to sit in a comfortable place and 5 inches away from your windowpane. Make a small marking on the window, which is at your eye level. Look beyond this mark and try to focus your attention on something in the background. Keep doing this for 15 seconds and then focus on the small mark on the window. Instead of this, you can also do a simple thing. Take a pencil and keep it at arms length, start moving your arm slowly towards your nose, while doing this you must constantly follow the pencil. Repeat this exercise 10 times. <strong></strong></li>
<li>All these exercises will certainly help you in improving your eyesight.  <strong></strong></li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leadership is known a way to make a strong social influence, in which one person is the leader and can handle all the tasks. Leadership is considered as one of the most important factor in organizational behavior. However, there is no fixed definition of leadership and the definitions keep changing for every situation.</p>
<p>The basic definition of leadership is setting agendas, identifying the problems of people and initiating a change, which will help in improving things. A good leader is the one who can make effective changes and improve the quality of work.</p>
<p>One must know how to improve one&#8217;s leadership skills in proper way. Here are some easy steps on how to improve your leadership skills.<br />
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/how-to-improve-leadership-skills.png" alt="how to improve leadership skills"  width="128" height="85" align="right"/><br />
<strong>Things Required:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Desire<strong></strong></li>
<li>Determination<strong></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Steps: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>First thing you need to do is get a reality check on things. Find some people and ask them their views on leadership and communication skills. This will help you a lot; you can also use the 360 survey for some feedback through your staff and family members. Ask them for various ways of improving leadership skills. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Always remember that you must never take undue advantage of your power. Never force your decisions on other people; you must have effective communication skills to convince people. It is not necessary that your team will agree with your decision, you must explain to them the reason for change. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Make sure that you never consider your employees as things who need to be managed or controlled. You must give them enough freedom for taking actions and decisions. Always remember that trust is the most important things in leadership. If you cannot trust people with their work, then you have a few wrong people in your team, or you have not trained them properly. Allow them to do their own thing, and do not ask them for minute details. <strong></strong></li>
<li>One important thing that you must remember is that you have to be a good listener. People are not expressing themselves because you didn’t listen to them earlier. Never give them a feeling that you are not interested in their problems. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Avoid giving solutions to your employees, let them figure out the solution on their own. In this way, you will give them a chance to learn. Always giving answers to their questions, you take away their chance to fix that problem and learn from it. Therefore, it is advised that a leader must never interfere with the work of his/her employees. <strong></strong></li>
<li>A good leader is the one who never criticize their employees. If you know that you are about to make a bad comment, take a deep breath and phrase your sentence properly. You must be to convey your message effectively. You must always find a way to say things politely and calmly. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Your team’s success is your success. Since you are the leader, your primary responsibility is to make sure that your team is succeeding. Always focus on certain ways to enhance skills and remove obstacles from your team’s way.<strong></strong></li>
<li>Next important thing that you must have as a leader is integrity. You must have integrity to take right decisions and decide what is good or bad for your company. Always remember that personal interest must never be considered while taking such decisions.  <strong></strong></li>
<li>People usually don’t like working in an environment, which is dull and boring. People tend to give good results when they enjoy their work. Take some efforts in creating a fun filled environment and you must participate in that. It will surely increase your team spirit, and people will get a chance to see the real you, not simple as their boss. <strong></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>You must always give an opportunity for your team members to know the real you. When your employees get to know their leader well, they tend to trust you more and respect you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Any social interaction or communication is known as social skills. The rules of society and relations are formed, communicated, and changed verbally or nonverbally, this learning procedure is known as &#8217;socialization&#8217;. Social skill is a kind of behavior which allows people to build social back ups to avoid social punishment. In the year 1985, Schneider and Bryne, conducted a &#8216;Meta –analysis&#8217; for a social skill training process, &#8216;operant conditioning&#8217;, a process for training in social skills has the largest effect, and it also includes, social cognitive techniques, coaching and modeling.</p>
<p>Social skill is measured in your behavior with others, how you treat others and what your reaction to them is.  Social skill is all about dealing with the behavior of other people, basically people around you.</p>
<p>Practice is the best way to improve your social skills. Study of some techniques such as matching and mirroring to build a special bond with others, memorize friendly acronyms such as SOFTEN. The full form of &#8216;SOFTEN&#8217; is (Smile, Open posture, Forward lean, Touch, Eye contact, Nod).</p>
<p>It is said that practice makes a man perfect; if you practice and develop more comfort and confidence in different social situations, you tend to be more comfortable and natural.  This is the base of effective interpersonal communication.<br />
If you are very comfortable with other people, then you do not feel conscious in front of them in terms of how you look or how you sound. If you are comfortable with the way you are, then you will concentrate more on your conversations and content instead of yourself.<br />
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/how-to-improve-social-skills.jpg" alt="how to improve social skills"  width="114" height="114" align="right"/><br />
Ways to improve you social skill:</p>
<p>•	To improve your social skills, first you will have to get over your shyness. This is the basic fundamental rule to make conversation</p>
<p>•	Participate in a conversation; to improve yourself you will have to be involved in conversations.</p>
<p>•	Talk to that person, you usually wouldn&#8217;t talk to. Develop self confidence as self –esteem is the key to success</p>
<p>•	Be friendly, casual with other people; people like you if you are interesting.</p>
<p>•	You can talk to people who act like open doors, they will make you feel comfortable and relaxed<br />
•	You can talk about anything with them; they will give you helpful advice on your doubts.</p>
<p>•	Never hurt others; do not use offensive language or never be mean to other people.  Never gossip about those who you do not trust.</p>
<p>•	Be careful when you talk to others, figure out your mistakes and try to amend your behavior for better results.</p>
<p>•	Take responsibility for your own behavior; never feel shy about apologizing for your mistakes, errors or insensible actions.</p>
<p>•	Ask for feedback from your friends (negative as well as positive feedback) on your behavior, the way you interact or behave with others and try to correct yourself accordingly.</p>
<p>•	Non- verbal communication is equally important as verbal communication; proper body language is much important in your communications with others.</p>
<p>•	You cannot improve your social skills overnight; trying to change your personality completely will be counter-productive.<br />
•	Try out one or two traits at a time and work on them, take benefit of your personal strength and make good impact with those qualities on others.</p>
<p>•	You can also improve social skills by developing good listening skills, resolve your problems and clashes; learn to read body language, and take responsibility for your misbehavior.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now, why is it so necessary for professionals to master the art of making a good presentation? Basically, it reflects an individual’s quality as a mature professional. Anyone who has a sound grip over the basics of presentation skills is a definite potential asset for any company. But it is certainly not an easy job to address a crowd of watchful listeners. Many have had knee-jerk experiences when it came to speaking in front of a group of professionals. This precisely explains the importance to improve presentation skills. Presentations have slowly emerged as the most important skill in the modern world. But with so many advices on offer on how to improve presentation skills, which one is the best to take? One must understand that the primary objective of any mode of communication is reception, not transmission alone. A basic structure of presentation has three stages, namely planning, designing, and executing. And all these stages must be geared to the audience.</p>
<p><strong>Planning</strong></p>
<p>Now, suppose you have to give a talk, then where do you exactly start from? In the planning stage a presenter must get all his groundwork done. He should concentrate not only on the facts that he is supposed to present, but also on the style, tone, and the tactics that he is planning to employ during the presentation. To be on the safer side, for 5 minutes of talking, a presenter must spend not less than an hour in preparation.</p>
<p><strong>Designing</strong></p>
<p>Then comes the designing part wherein the presenter concentrates on the elements to be presented which will support the overall objective of the presentation. Proper slides, charts, or graphs, and other materials must be prepared and arranged properly and professionally. All this should be designed keeping in mind the target audience.</p>
<p><strong>Executing</strong></p>
<p>Finally, comes the part where the presenter has to put forward his idea to the audience. This is the most difficult part of all, as there are many who sweat on the idea of public-speaking. Let’s zero-in on some of the ways on how to improve presentation skills;</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Prepare properly</strong> – The comfort level while presenting will definitely increase if the presenter knows the contents of the presentation like the back of his hand. After all, the audience expects him to be the master of the topic he is presenting.</li>
<li><strong>List the points clearly</strong> – It is always better to let the audience know the topics of the presentation in the beginning to avoid any kind of confusion.</li>
<li><strong>Use audio–visual aids</strong> – Only following the lecture mode while presenting can get quite boring and strenuous at times. So, to keep the audience interested in the presentation, it is always beneficial to use various audio–visuals aids like projectors, LEDs, attractive slides, pictures, objects, and more. We all know the saying that a “picture is worth a thousand words”.</li>
<li><strong>Rehearse properly</strong> – It is always advisable to rehearse, preferably in front of a live audience, to get a hang of things and get to know what works and what doesn’t. It is also best to get rid of the stage fright. While rehearsing, try to make the use of space properly, and when alone, practice in front of the mirror to get your expressions and gestures in place.</li>
<li><strong>Don’t stick to the podium</strong> – One should never stick to the podium alone while presenting. To interact with the audience better, the presenter must walk around the room and be approachable to everyone listening to him.</li>
<li><strong>Navigate innovatively</strong> – Now, if one wants to utilize space while presenting, he cannot remain stuck to his computer to navigate slides. Use a remote device to change slides. Furthermore, to improve efficiency, it is better to learn all the keyword shortcuts which make navigation easy.</li>
<li><strong>Interact with the audience</strong> – A presentation will be nothing but extremely boring if a presenter simply reads out from his notes or slides. Audience doesn’t want that, and they intend to listen and interact with the presenter.</li>
<li><strong>Confidence</strong> – It is very important for a presenter to talk and put his points across confidently. He should speak only what is relevant. While speaking, his intonation pattern should be poignant, and he must use body language and facial expressions to support his cause.</li>
<li><strong>Visualize and breathe</strong> – To get rid of the anxiety, it is always advisable to close eyes, breathe deeply and visualize the scene of the presentation and imagine that the presentation has ended successfully with the audience applauding and cheering.</li>
<li><strong>Plan B</strong> – Always prepare in advance a plan b in case something adverse and unexpected happens while presenting. What if the projector blows off, or the laptop gets stolen? The show must always go on and the presenter must know his topic so well, that he can present it even with his eyes closed, or at least have a hard copy in hand for leading hints.</li>
</ol>
<p>Following were the methods on how to improve presentation skills, but one who intends to become a really good presenter must evaluate his performance honestly after each presentation and try to work on the flaws and get better with time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wouldn’t it be nice to just look at some page and never forget what was on the page? What if you can never forget the birthdays and anniversaries of your close ones? But, the bad news is not everyone is blessed with a photographic memory. Most of the people will usually rely on memonic devices. However, the good news is that everyone can take some steps to improve their memory. Here are simple steps that will teach you how to improve memory recall.</p>
<p><strong>Specific ways</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You will have to start with convincing yourself that you do have a good memory, which can improve. Most of the people will get stuck here and convince themselves that they have a bad memory and they are not good with names, numbers just slip out of their mind. Erase all these thoughts and make a vow to yourself about improving your memory. You must learn every little achievement for keeping yourself motivated. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Memory recall can be practiced in the best way by association. The main reason that most of the people fail to remember phone numbers of their friends is because, they think it is just a string of numbers with no connection to their friend. If you want to use your memory efficiently, the best option will be to create association for things that you want to remember. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Association will work if you make vivid and memorable images. It is a known fact that, you will remember information more easily if you are able to visualize it. If you want to visualize a child with a book, then never visualize a child reading that book, because you can easily forget this. Instead, you will have to come up with some that is more jarring, something that will stick, like a book chasing the child or the child trying to eat the book. It’s your own mind and so you will have to make images that are emotional or shocking to keep your surprise strong. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Group all the information you have to help you remember, this is also known as chunking. A random list will be very difficult to remember. If you want to remember the list, then you will have to categorize the things in the list. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Try repeating the information that you want to memorize after every few days. This is also known as spaced repetition learning. Always remember that you are more likely to remember things that have happened recently and things that you have experienced with greater frequency. Therefore, you will have to constantly repeat the associations and mnemonics to yourself after a couple of days. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Learn to organize your life. Keep things that you need frequently, like sunglasses or keys, in the same place everyday. Use a daily planner or an electronic organizer for keeping a track on your appointments, due date for your bills and other important things. If you improve your organizational skills then it will free up your power of concentrating on everything. <strong></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>General Advice</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Exercise your brain regularly, because it will help your brain to grow and spur the development of all the new nerve connections, which will help in improving your memory. Keep your brain active by learning new languages, puzzles and some challenging instrument. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Exercise everyday. Regular aerobics will help in improving circulation and the efficiency of your body and brain. Exercise will also ward off the memory loss that comes with aging. Regular workout will also make you more relaxed and alert and this will improve your memory uptake, letting you take better mental pictures. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Reduce stress, because chronic stress can damage your brain and it will make it difficult to remember things. Eat well and at the right time, you will find a lot of herbal supplements in the market that claim to improve your memory, but they are of no help. A healthy diet is the only way to ensure a healthy brain.<strong></strong></li>
<li>Take better mental pictures. Most of the times we will forget things not because we have a bad memory, but because we don&#8217;t have good observational skills. The one situation where this occurs the most is when you meet new people. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Always give yourself enough time to form a memory. Remember that memories are fragile and short-term; distractions will make you forget things quickly. The only key to avoid losing your memory is better focus on things and avoiding distractions. <strong></strong></li>
<li>Sleep well, because the amount of sleep we get will always affect the brain and its’ ability to recall what you have learned recently. You should get a minimum of seven to eight hours of sleep. <strong></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Tips and Warnings:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Try few methods to help you remember things, like putting a black ink dot on the end of our palm and whenever you look at that dot, you will remember that you have to do something important today. Write down the important tasks and events for the day. Leave a message on your telephone reminding you of all the important things you need to do. <strong></strong></li>
<li>If you sense that you are having a sudden deterioration of your memory, then you must consult your doctor immediately. <strong></strong></li>
</ul>
