THOUGHTS

Life is thought, and when we cease to think, we are not living. How we think, is the kind of life we live. Since we are able to control our thoughts, we can determine the course of our life and the way we feel during our time here.

“We are what we think.” - Buddha (BC)

It is very important to establish good thinking guidelines and follow them. Placing thoughts of peace and happiness in our minds will help to make our lives peaceful and happy. If we do not set our thoughts properly, we travel through life by way of places where we will wish we had not gone.

“It is the mind that maketh good or ill, that maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor.” - Edmund Spenser (1552-1599)

Our daily life includes thoughts associated with responsibilities concerning work, other people, and handling problems. If possible, try not to think of too many different things during your day, and don’t move or think too quickly. Start your morning with a plan to come through to bedtime relaxed, contented, and ready for a restful night’s sleep.

“Your own mind is a sacred enclosure into which nothing harmful can enter except by your permission.” - Arnold Bennett (1867-1932)

Reflect about things that can improve your feelings - learning, completing tasks and duties, pleasant and relaxing experiences, kind words. Think about your happiness, goals, life and its pleasures, your principles and your conduct. Think about enjoying the moment.

“Garner up pleasant thoughts in your mind, for pleasant thoughts make pleasant lives.” - John Wilkins (1614-1672)

TIPS FOR AN EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION

A guide to oral presentations

Many students find that oral presentations are one of the most confronting forms of assessment at university. However, presentations are also one of the most fruitful sources of personal growth in your university education. For both your study and future work purposes, it is important to develop skills and confidence in giving oral presentations.

The following is a guide to improving your presentation.

The message is a simple:-

PREPARE! PREPARE! PREPARE!

1. Plan
2. Prepare
3. Practise
4. Present

Analyse your audience
o What do they know about the subject? What terminology would they know?
o What do they want or need to know? What is their motivation for listening to you?
o What aspects of your subject would they be interested in?
o How much information can they absorb? If they are new to the topic, their level of absorption may be lower than for an expert audience.

Determine primary purpose
o What is your main point? (Can you put it into one sentence?)
o What do you want your listeners to do or think? (Are you trying to inform/convince/guide/entertain them?)

Select effective supporting information
o What kind of information will best support your presentation?
o What kind of information will appeal to your listeners? Provide interesting examples.
o Listeners may only remember two or three supporting points.
The word “visuals” can be a noun, eg: “Can you prepare some visuals for my presentation?”

Prepare an outline
In general, follow a 3 part structure:
10. Introduction - tell them what you’re going to tell them.
11. Body - tell them!
12. Conclusion - tell them what you have told them!

Do not try to include too much content in for the time allowed.

Prioritise.

It is important to have time to repeat key points in different ways, and to provide an effective introduction and conclusion.

Select appropriate visual aids
(Overhead transparencies, slides, flip charts, chalkboards, handouts, 3D objects, computer projections…)
o Visuals must convey your point clearly and simply.
o Do not over-use visuals (a trap when using Powerpoint). The visuals are not the presentation, their purpose is simply to summarise or illustrate your main points.

Prepare an introduction
When your introduction is over, your audience should be interested, know what your main point is, and know how you’re going to explain it. Therefore, does your introduction…

15. arouse interest in the topic?
16. provide context, ie. background and definitions?
17. clearly state the main point of the talk?
18. describe the structure of the talk?

Prepare a conclusion
The audience listens for your summary and concluding remarks. Listeners rate a presentation on the quality of its ending, so prepare clear, succinct closing comments that catch the listener’s attention.

Delivery
o Practise your presentation aloud (it will not help if you just say it in your head).
o Don’t read it. Use cue cards with simple dot points on which you elaborate orally.
o Let the audience know what’s coming: let them know the structure of your talk, use linking words between sections and keep them up-to-date on where you are up to.
o Audience attention span is short, so break up long sections of information with questions, feedback, activities, and repeat important points.
o Do not rush. Speak more slowly and clearly than you normally would. Provide extra emphasis through intonation and body language.
o Be aware of body language: avoid annoying habits such as talking with your hands in your pockets, slouching, scratching, fiddling, “um, er…”.
o Practise maintaining eye-contact with a group of people.

Expect the unexpected
o How will you deal with audience questions? What if you can’t answer the question?
o How will you respond to criticism?
o What if the audience misunderstands what you say?

Know your equipment
o Familiarise yourself with the equipment you will use.
o Time your presentation using the equipment (it may take longer than just reading aloud).
o Nervousness is normal - combat it by knowing your content and practising it! Convert what nervousness remains into enthusiasm and focus.
o Breathe. Pause between points. Emphasise key ideas/information.
o Establish contact with the audience - talk with them before your presentation.
o Walk purposefully and confidently to the front of the lecture room (fake it!).
o Remember, the purpose of oral presentations is to communicate a topic as interestingly and succinctly as possible, so be expressive and concise.

Optimism, Hope and Motivation

1. When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over 2000 experiments before he got it to work.

A young reporter asked him how it feltto fail so many times. He said, “I never failed once. I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2000-step process.”

2. Wilma Rudolph was the 20th of 22 children. She was born prematurely and her survival was doubtful. When she was 4 years old, she contracted double pneumonia and scarlet fever, which left her with a paralyzed left leg. At age 9, she removed the metal leg brace she had been dependent on and began to walk without it. By 13 she had developed a rhythmic walk, which doctors said was a miracle. That same year she decided to become a runner. Sheentered a race and came in last. For the next few years every race sheentered, she came in last. Everyone told her to quit, but she kept on running. One day she actually won race. And then another. From then on she won every race she entered. Eventually this little girl, who was told she would never walk again, went on to win three Olympic gold medals.

3. In 1962, four nervous young musicians played their first record audition for the executives of the Decca recording Company. The executives were not impressed. While turning down this group of musicians, one executive said,

“We don’t like their round. Groups of guitars are on the way out.”

The group was called The Beatles.

4. In 1944, Emmeline Snively, director of the Blue Book Modeling Agency,told modeling hopeful Norma Jean Baker,

“You’d better learn secretarial workor else get married.”

She went on and became Marilyn Monroe.

5. In 1954, Jimmy Denny, manager of the Grand Ole Opry, fired a singer after one performance. He told him, “You ain’t goin’ no where….son. You ought to go back to drivin’ a truck.” He went on to become the most popular singer in America named Elvis Presley.

6. When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it did not ring off the hook with calls from potential backers. After making a demonstration call, President Ruther ford Hayes said,

“That’s an amazingInvention, but who would ever want to use one of them?” .

7. In the 1940s, another young inventor named Chester Carlson took his idea to 20 corporations, including some of the biggest in the country. They all turned him down. In 1947 - after seven long years of rejections! He finally got a tiny company in Rochester, New York, the Haloid Company, to purchase the rights to his invention an electrostatic paper-copying process. Haloid became Xerox Corporation we know today.

The Moral of the above Stories:

Character can not be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved. You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you really stop to look fear in the face…. You must do the thing you can not do. And remember, the finest steel gets sent through the hottest furnace.And even the GOLD is tested against fire.
A winner is not one who never fails, but one who NEVER QUITS

MANAGING YOUR TIME -TIPS

TIME MANAGEMENT

Never underestimate the power of simple, tried and tested techniques. I’ve seen many people transform their lives and turn their chaotic to do lists into peaceful vehicles for success just by using a couple of these 7 proven and simple time management activities that I’m going to share with you.

1. Write everything down
They say your head is the worst place to store something and I have to agree. Trying to store important information in your head doesn’t make any sense. Instead, write down important information so you can free up your head to focus entirely on the task at hand.

2. Prioritize Your To Do Lists
Just simply making a to do list doesn’t work anymore. This is because with the technology advances, new information, data and tasks are coming at you faster than before and the old numbered to do lists just can’t handle the amount or the speed at which new priorities and tasks enter your life. Instead, try a prioritized to do list.

3. Look for the most important, the most fulfilling and the most profitable tasks
The 80/20 rule is an important concept not only when it comes to manufacturing and sales but also when it comes to your time management and the amount of satisfaction you get from your activities. Which is why it is so important to understand and apply the 80/20 rule when it comes to getting more out of your life and becoming highly productive.

Always seek out the tasks that bring you the highest return, the greatest amount of satisfaction, the most results (based on whatever goals you’re working on) and focus your full attention on them.

4. Keep a journal
While the correlation may not be self evident at first, keeping a journal is a great way to save tons of time. Simply note all the important things that you come across, make a list of things to do the next time you go on a vacation, make a list of things to do the next time you make a presentation etc and you can leverage the work you do once to find these resources over and over every time you need them.

5. Keep a time log
A time log is very simple and yet a highly effective time management tool. Simply log in how you spend your day and you’ll see some interesting trends in your energy and productivity patterns. The time log will also help you remain accountable and see exactly where your time is going.

6. Review Your Goals and Efforts
Review your goals every morning, this will give you the inspiration to break through procrastination and get working. Also review the efforts you make everyday – i.e. the amount of time you spend productively working towards your goals. This will help you see exactly where you are so you can find out how to get “there” from “here”.

7. Tackle Distractions
One of the biggest hurdles to high productivity and effectiveness is distractions. Try to eliminate them before you set out to work on an important project. Turn off your phone, turn off the internet and guard your time – try to make sure that nothing will distract you from your most important tasks while you’re working on it.

HABIT OF SAVING

Maintaining a Habit of Saving

Saving money does not have to be an overwhelming task, nor do you need a bigger pay check before you can begin as expense will always rise to the level of income. The key to saving is to begin by making small efforts to produce large benefits.

>Start a habit of doing it by managing, controlling and tracking every single Rupee.

Here are three simple methods to begin saving money painlessly but deliver results.

1. Collect loose change - At the end of each day, consolidate all your loose change and put it in a jar or piggy bank. Bank in every single pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters that you have saved into your savings account every month.

2. Reduce your expenses - An important way to save money is to reduce expenses. If you cannot demand an increment from your boss, cut your expenditures. Once the money is freed from expenses, it can easily be re-purposed to savings.

3. Pay yourself first - A part of all you earn is yours to keep. Set aside ten percent of your salary and commit it to savings whenever you receive your paycheck.Every single rupee you spend now is Rs.10 you could have had if you invest it properly.

I strongly recommend that you delay gratification, save and invest now, and reap the rewards later.

Earn -> Save -> Spend

PERIODIC TABLE- NEW DESIGN

i have found an intresting site where this periodictable is sown:- To see, vist this link

>>http://i.gizmodo.com/5169466/the-periodic-table-of-typefaces

This sits beautifully nestled in my science geek and design geek

Venn overlap quadrant: a good place to be.

Designers Squidspot created the table, with fonts arranged roughly into related group columns showing (although Akzidenz Grotesk and Helvetica not being in the same family! Ok, I'll stop).

They've also ranked each roughly according to popularity according to a number of sources.
It's really cool to see who designed which typeface and when, and where everything falls in the popularity queue. [Periodic Table of Typefaces (full-res JPG) by Squidspot via Lifehacker]
