May 6th How to win friends and influence people

I read building relationships. People have a hard time communicating with people. Including friends, associates, emploers, and family. People just don’t know how to talk to someone; they don’t know how to open a conversation and if they do, they don’t let the other person talk at all.

Never criticize, condemn or complain: Sometimes people criticize others and they don’t look at themselves first. The give someone else an analysis and they need to analyis themselves. Also, people don’t understand that when they criticize someone else, they hurt their self-esteem and sometimes even their repect.

Become genuinely interested in other people: Don’t just always talk about yourself. Some people don’t want to hear about the others conceided thoughts and accomplishments. Rather, they would like to talk about other things. Also, remembering little things like birthdays and stuff, it touches peoples hearts.

Talk in terms of the other person’s interests: There has always been a big problem about people caring about what they want to talk about. Sometimes a person may ask a friend on there opinion about things, but when their friend gives them his/her opinion, they don’t like it and just forget about it. Don’t do that. Listen to what they have to say every once and awhile. They actaully may know what you are talking about.

Be a good listener: Being a good listener is important. It will build trust in a relationship. Some people just want them to listen to them.

Make the other person feel important: Do something nice for a person everyonce and awhile. 

Use Names whenever possible: Remember there names, if not try and get it right; it makes them feel that they are important and that someone does notice them.

Smile: Make someones day and smile at them. Sometimes people just need someone smile to them and there day is better.

Make-up blog May 2nd; global warming

Global Warming is destroying the war we live now and days. Our crops cannnot grow anything. Glaciers are melting and going to turn into deserts if nothing is done about it. It’s also affecting the weather as well. What I mean by that is for example, our winter came late and our spring came late. Soon, our winters will be summers and summers will be winters. There are some ways that we can do as people to change some ways in what we do.

  1. Change 5 lights
  2. Look for Energyr Star sufficient products
  3. Heat and cool smartly
  4. Seal and insulate your home
  5. Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
  6. Be green in your yard
  7. Use water efficiently

I can take these 7 steps and use them to my knowledge and the best of my ability so that I can save energy.
<!–Everyone can save water through simple actions. Municipal water systems require a lot of energy to purify and distribute water to households, and saving water, especially hot water, can lower greenhouse gas emissions. Do not let the water run while shaving or brushing teeth. Do not use your toilet as a waste basket for toiletry items – water is wasted with each flush. And did you know a leaky toilet can waste 200 gallons of water per day? Repair all toilet and faucet leaks right away. See EPA’s WaterSense site for more water saving tips.–>

Make-up blog April 30th; BBC article

I have always had a burden for Africe for some reason. I always wanted to go over there and see there life style and I want to help so much. They have so many problems over there in that country. I want to do something about, or even die trying. That’s my burden. And that’s why I am going to write an article from that section.

 

There are some CEO’s that want to raise money so that they could start some buisness in Africa. They want to include things like phones. Some of their goals are including to cut the pverty level in Africa; it’s one of the main goals they are trying to accomplish. Also, there is a great number of people that have HIV/Aids and that also want to cut that number down. But they realize that they that is going to be a struggle to get rid of.  They want buisness to take risky movements like this so that the government will not have to provide the money for this risky business.

Make-up work for April 25th; free write

I can’t believe that graduation is less than two weeks away. Well, 13 days to be exact. I can’t believe that I have made it thus far. I never knew that I could graduate period. I am lucky to even be alive and some people ask me why graduation is important and I simply say because I am not suppose to. And they think that I am crazy for saying that and don’t understand why I am saying that. I am saying that because I’m not suppose to because I’m not suppose to be alive period. But to be honest, some people think that the stress isn’t worth, in actuality, it is so worth it. Knowing that you can do better things it is worth it. I hope that I can strive to do more with it.
