Fundamental Techniques in Handling People
- Don't criticize, condemn or complain. - Give honest and sincere appreciation. - Arouse in the other person an eager want.
SIX WAYS TO MAKE PEOPLE LIKE YOU
Become genuinely interested in other people. Smile.
Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
Make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely.
WIN PEOPLE TO YOUR WAY OF THINKING
The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never say, "You're wrong." If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
Begin in a friendly way.
Get the other person saying "yes, yes" immediately. Let the other person do a great deal of the talking. Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers.
Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view. Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires. Appeal to the nobler motives.
Dramatize your ideas. Throw down a challenge.
BE LEADER: HOW TO CHANGE PEOPLE WITHOUT GIVING OFFENSE OR AROUSING RESENTMENT
A leader's job often includes changing your people's attitudes and behavior. Some suggestions to accomplish this:Begin with praise and honest appreciation. Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly.
Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
Let the other person save face.
Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be "hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise." Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.
Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct. Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest. How to Stop Worrying and Start Living
SELF LEARNING- English Language
FUNDAMENTAL FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT WORRY
If you want to avoid worry, do what Sir William Osler did: Live in "day-tight compartments." Don't stew about the futures. Just live each day until bedtime.
The next time Trouble--with a Capital T--backs you up in a corner, try the magic formula of Willis H. Carrier: Ask yourself, "What is the worst that can possibly happen if I can't solve my problem?
Prepare yourself mentally to accept the worst--if necessary.
Then calmly try to improve upon the worst--which you have already mentally agreed to accept.
Remind yourself of the exorbitant price you can pay for worry in terms of your health. "Those who do not know how to fight worry die young."
BASIC TECHNIQUES IN ANALYZING WORRY
Get the facts. Remember that Dean Hawkes of Columbia University said that "half the worry in the world is caused by people trying to make decisions before they have sufficient knowledge on which to base a decision."
After carefully weighing all the facts, come to a decision.
Once a decision is carefully reached, act! Get busy carrying out your decision--and dismiss all anxiety about the outcome. When you, or any of your associates, are tempted to worry about a problem, write out and answer the following questions: What is the problem?
What is the cause of the problem? What are all possible solutions? What is the best solution?
HOW TO BREAK THE WORRY HABIT BEFORE IT BREAKS YOU
Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best therapies ever devised for curing "wibber gibbers."
Don't fuss about trifles. Don't permit little things--the mere termites of life--to ruin your happines.
Use the law of averages to outlaw your worries. Ask yourself: "What are the odds against this thing's happening at all?" Co-operate with the inevitable. If you know a circumstance is beyond your power to change or revise, say to yourself: "It is so; it cannot be otherwise."
Put a "stop-less" order on your worries. Decide just how much anxiety a thing may be worth--and refuse to give it anymore. Let the past bury its dead. Don't saw sawdust.
SEVEN WAYS TO CULTIVATE MENTAL ATTITUDE THAT WILL BRING YOU PEACE AND HAPPINESS
Let's fill our minds with thoughts of peace, courage, health, and hope, for "our life is what our thoughts make it."Let's never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Let's do as General Eisenhower does: let's never waste a minute thinking about people we don't like.
Instead of worrying about ingratitude, let's expect it. Let's remember that Jesus healed ten lepers in one day--and only one thanked Him. Why should we expect more gratitude than Jesus got?
Let's remember that the only way to find happiness is not to expect gratitude--but to give for the joy of giving.
Let's remember that gratitude is a "cultivated" trait; so if we want our children to be grateful, we must train them to be grateful. Count your blessings--not your troubles!
Let's not imitate others. Let's find ourselves and be ourselves, for "envy is ignorance" and "imitation is suicide." When fate hands us a lemon, let's try to make a lemonade.
Let's forget our own unhappiness--by trying to create a little happiness for others. "When you are good to others, you are best to yourself."
THE PERFECT WAY TO CONQUER WORRY
PrayerHOW TO KEEP FROM WORRYING ABOUT CRITICISM
Unjust criticism is often a disguised compliment. It often means that you have aroused jealousy and envy. Remember that no one ever kicks a dead dog.
Do the very best you can; and then put up your old umbrella and keep the rain of criticism from running down the back of your neck.
Let's keep a record of the fool things we have done and criticize ourselves. Since we can't hope to be perfect, let's do what E.H. Little did: let's ask for unbiased, helpful, constructive criticism.
SIX WAYS TO PREVENT FATIGUE AND WORRY AND KEEP YOUR ENERGY AND SPIRITS HIGH
Rest before you get tired.Learn to relax at your work. Learn to relax at home.
Apply these four good workings habits:
Clear your desk of all papers except those relating to the immediate problem at hand. Do things in the order of their importance.
When you face a problem, solve it then and there if you have the facts to make a decision. Learn to organize, deputize, and supervise.
SELF LEARNING- English Language
- Remember, no one was ever killed by lack of sleep. It is worrying about insomnia that does the damage--not the insomnia.

GD is a methodology used by an organization to gauge whether the candidate has certain personality traits and/or skills that
it desires in its members. In this methodology, the group of candidates is given a topic or a situation, given a few minutes toSELF LEARNING- English Language
think about the same, and then asked to discuss the it among themselves for 15-20 minutes. Freshersworld.com brings you an elaborate section for GD as you had ever seen anywhere else.
Some of the personality traits the GD is trying to gauge may include
Ability to work in a team Communication skills asoning ability Leadership skills Initiative Assertiveness Flexibility Creativity
Ability to think on ones feet
Why GD’s
The reason why institutes put you through a Group discussion and an interview, after testing your technical and conceptual skills in an exam, is to get to know you as a person and gauge how well you will fit in their institute. The Group discussion tests how you function as a part of a team. As a manager, you will always be working in teams, as a member or as a leader. Therefore how you interact in a team becomes an important criterion for your selection. Managers have to work in a team and get best results out of teamwork. That is the reason why management institutes include GD as a component of the selection procedure.
Observe the mouth movements of those who speak English well and try to imitate them.
When you are watching television, observe the mouth movements of the speakers. Repeat what they are saying, while imitating the intonation and rhythm of their speech.
Until you learn the correct intonation and rhythm of English, slow your speech down.
If you speak too quickly, and with the wrong intonation and rhythm, native speakers will have a hard time understanding you.
Don't worry about your listener getting impatient with your slow speech -- it is more important that everything you say be understood.
Listen to the 'music' of English.
Do not use the 'music' of your native language when you speak English. Each language has its own way of 'singing'. Use the dictionary.
Try and familiarise yourself with the phonetic symbols of your dictionary. Look up the correct pronunciation of words that are hard for you to say.
Make a list of frequently used words that you find difficult to pronounce and ask someone who speaks the language well to pronounce them for you.
Record these words, listen to them and practice saying them. Listen and read at the same time. Buy books on tape.
Record yourself reading some sections of the book. Compare the sound of your English with that of the person reading the book on the tape.
Pronounce the ending of each word.
Pay special attention to 'S' and 'ED' endings. This will help you strengthen the mouth muscles that you use when you speak English.
Read aloud in English for 15-20 minutes every day.
Research has shown it takes about three months of daily practice to develop strong mouth muscles for speaking a new language.
Record your own voice and listen for pronunciation mistakes.
Many people hate to hear the sound of their voice and avoid listening to themselves speak. However, this is a very important exercise because doing it will help you become conscious of the mistakes you are making.
Be patient.
You can change the way you speak but it won't happen overnight. People often expect instant results and give up too soon. You can change the way you sound if you are willing to put some effort into it.
The time management skills and disciplines that you develop as student can help you for the
rest of your life. Here are some tips to help you develop good time management skills.

Write down assignments in every class including the DUE DATE and then “check off” items as you complete them. Take advantage of “open time windows.”
Use the time you spend waiting, walking, riding, etc. to review what you’ve learned. Just before class, quickly review your notes or readings relating to that class.
Set up school/College-year calendar
To get a big picture of your semester–don’t include too much detail at this point.
SELF LEARNING- English Language

Make Daily To-Do List.
At the end of each day organize and schedule your next day. Include routines, errands, and study time.

This is a great way to develop your personality by listening everyone politely, even if their ideas are baseless or not of your interest. During conversation do not keep talking yourself too much.
When ever somebody brings any gift for you, don’t forget to praise it. It does not matter even if you were expecting something else. Make other feel that you love them.

Some Tips to Improve Personality Life Stlye
Here are some "Popular Sayings" which will very be helpful for everyone in critical situations. Don't compare yourself with any one in this world. If you compare, you are insulting yourself.
SELF LEARNING- English Language
Life laughs at you when you are unhappy... Life smiles at you when you are happy... Life salutes you when you make others happy... Every successful person has a painful story. Every painful story has a successful ending. Accept the pain and get ready for success. Easy is to judge the mistakes of others. Difficult is to recognize our own mistakes. It is easier to protect your feet with slippers than to cover the earth with carpet.
No one can go back and change a bad beginning; But anyone can start now and create a successful ending. If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If a problem cannot be solved what is the use of worrying? If you miss an opportunity don't fill the eyes with tears. It will hide another better opportunity in front of you.
"Changing the Face" can change nothing. But "Facing the Change" can change everything. Don't complain about others; Change yourself if you want peace.
Mistakes are painful when they happen. But year's later collection of mistakes is called experience, which leads to success. Be bold when you loose and be calm when you win.
Heated gold becomes ornament. Beaten copper becomes wires. Depleted stone becomes statue. So the more pain you get in life you become more valuable.
Personality Traits
Personality Traits are intrinsic differences that remain stable throughout most of our life. They are the constant aspects of our individuality.
The Big Five Personality Traits
The "Big Five Personality Traits" are five broad factors or dimensions of personality developed through lexical analysis. The Traits are also referred to as the "Five Factor Model". The model is considered to be the most comprehensive empirical or data-driven enquiry into personality. The first public mention of the model was in 1933, by L. L. Thurstone in his presidential address to the American
Psychological Association. The five factors are Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. The Five Factor Model is a purely descriptive model of personality, but psychologists have developed a number of theories to account for the Big Five.
The Big Five factors Explanation
Openness - appreciation for art, emotion, adventure, unusual ideas, imagination, curiosity, and variety of experience.
Conscientiousness - a tendency to show self-discipline, act dutifully, and aim for achievement; planned rather than spontaneous behavior. Extraversion - energy, positive emotions, surgency, and the tendency to seek stimulation and the company of others.
Agreeableness - a tendency to be compassionate and cooperative rather than suspicious and antagonistic towards others.
Neuroticism - a tendency to experience unpleasant emotions easily, such as anger, anxiety, depression, or vulnerability; sometimes called emotional instability.
Personality is the result of man's experience; it is the sum total of all that he has said, done, felt, thought, hoped for and believed in; it is the result of his reactions to the events of life as they come and go.
Don't give up your heart if you face anything hard in your life. It all depends on our views. Developing Personality is not a one day activity. It takes time depends on our interest & dedication to improve it. Find out the factor which you are weak in & try to work on that & Lead a Happy Life!!!!!!!
10 Ways To Improve Your Personality
Contrary to what you may think, you can improve your personality.
Until quite recently it was believed that personality is permanent. In 1890 William James, the famous Harvard psychologist, wrote in his influential workThe Principles of Psychology, that personality was "set in plaster" by early adulthood. This view prevailed for over a century; however, the idea that personality is more fluid has gained ground over time. We are now at the point where we realize that we have influence and control over which traits and characteristics we want to develop or refine.
What is Personality?
The "personality" is the typical pattern of thinking, feeling, and behaviors that make a person unique.
When we say that someone has a "good personality" we mean that they are likeable, interesting and pleasant to be with.
Everyone wants to be attractive to others. To that end, having a good personality is vital - probably even more so than good looks. In fact, approximately 85 percent of your success and happiness will be a result of how well you interact with others. Ultimately, it is your personality that determines whether people are attracted to, or shy away from you.
While we can only enhance our looks to a certain extent, we have the ability to improve the personality as much as we want. We can develop or integrate any trait we deem fitting and agreeable.

Be a better listener.Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was considered one of the most charming women in the world because she cultivated the skill of being an exceptional listener. She was known for the way she would look a person in the eyes, hang on their every word, and make them feel important. There is nothing more appealing than having someone listen to you intently making you feel like you're the only person in the world.
Read more and expand your interests.
The more you read and cultivate new interests, the more interesting you are to others. When you meet new people it gives you the opportunity to share what you know and to exchange your views with them.
Be a good conversationalist.
This relates to how much you read and know. Once you have much to contribute, learn how to talk about it with others. No one can read about or know everything, so it's refreshing to learn from others those things we don't have the time to about read ourselves. If you happen to be shy, join a group like Toastmasters that encourages you to talk about what you know.
Enjoy the article on The Art of Conversation! Have an Opinion.
There is nothing more tiresome than trying to talk to someone who has no opinion on anything. A conversation has nowhere to go if you have nothing to expound on. If, however, you have an uncommon point of view or differing opinion, you are more interesting and stimulating to be with socially (unless you're a know-it-all, of course). A unique outlook expands everyone's perspective.
Meet New People.
Make the effort to meet new people especially those unlike you. It not only exposes you to different cultures and alternative ways of doing things, it broadens your horizons.
Be yourself.
The next most tiresome thing after having no opinions is trying to be something you're not. Molding yourself in order to fit in, or be accepted, usually backfires. Since each of us is unique, expressing that uniqueness is what makes us interesting. Attempting to be a carbon copy of someone else not only falls flat, but reveals a lack of authenticity.
Have a positive outlook and attitude.
Who wants to be around people who are negative, complain a lot, or have nothing good to say? In fact, most of us run when we see them coming. Instead, be the kind of upbeat person who lights up a room with your energy when you enter it. Do it by looking for the best in people and things. Smile warmly, spread good cheer, and enliven others with your presence.

Be fun and see the humorous side of life.
Everyone enjoys the company of someone who makes them laugh, or smile, so look for the humorous, quirky side in a situation - there always is one. Comic relief is a much welcome and needed diversion at times. When you can add fun and lightheartedness to an otherwise dull or gloomy setting, others will naturally be attracted to you, not to mention grateful.
Be supportive of others.
Being supportive is probably the most endearing quality you can integrate into your personality. Just as you yourself welcome it, be the support for others when they need it. We all love a cheerleader in our corner; someone who is encouraging, believes in us and helps pick us up when we're down.
Have Integrity and treat people with respect.
Being honest and true to your word will bring you the admiration, respect and gratitude of others. Nothing improves a person's personality more than integrity and respect - respect for others, as well as respect for yourself.
We humans have the power and ability to shape our personalities however we wish. When we develop ourselves to be all that we can be, we contribute to our own, as well as the happiness of others.

Essential Skills for life
Devlop Your Brain
1. Critical Thinking or To Reason
Critical thinking is the mental process of analyzing or evaluating information. 'To reason' is the capacity for rational thought, or to think logically.
Once you have established a solid foundation or a healthy self-concept, it is important to be able to think critically, or to reason. Everyone thinks; however, much of our thinking is reactive, biased, uninformed and often prejudiced. More often than not, it is also haphazard and undisciplined.
Why do we need to think critically?
In order to assess our role in, and the consequences of any actions we take, we must be able to evaluate and determine what is taking place in a given situation.
This requires us to organize our thinking, integrate the information at hand, distinguish between what is fact and what is opinion, and then weigh potential outcomes.
By thinking critically, instead of reacting emotionally to a problem, we employ strategies which:
Help us learn from an experience Help prevent it from occurring again Result in a reasonable, effective solution
The quality of life we experience is in direct proportion to the quality of our thinking.
Critical thinking is self-disciplined, self-monitored and problem solving thinking. It promotes open-mindedness, putting things in
perspective, and a positive attitude.
When we don't reason or think critically we subject ourselves to fleeting, erratic or unpredictable emotions. Of course, this does not mean we should deny or suppress our emotions, for indeed, they are a vital and significant element of who we are. Instead, we must learn how to make them work for us, not against us.
Critical thinking helps us balance our emotions, which in turn leads to good judgment and making informed, good decisions. For the most part, critical thinking does not come naturally. It takes effort, training and practice.
SELF LEARNING- English Language
As A. E. Mander wrote in his book Logic For the Millions: "Thinking is skilled work. It is not true that we are naturally endowed with the ability to think clearly and logically - without learning how, or without practicing. People with untrained minds should no more expect to think clearly and logically than people who have never learned and never practiced can expect to find themselves good carpenters, golfers, bridge players, or pianists."

Engage in healthy debates in class or with your friends. Argue both sides of an argument.As
Edward De Bono
, the lateral thinking psychologist suggests, use the GBI technique, in which you list the good, bad and interesting points of a position.Look at a problem from as many viewpoints as possible.
2. How To Think Critically and Problem Solve
The quote on the right by Jean De La Bruyere may seem a bit radical, however, according to the premise of cognitive psychology, what you think is what you feel.
While many people believe that your feelings precede, or are independent of your thoughts, the truth is that your feelings are products of your thoughts.
This revelation can be both daunting and liberating.
Daunting because it makes us responsible for our attitudes and liberating because we have the power to choose our perspective, mood
and thoughts.
When we are aware that we can choose and direct our thinking, we realize that we have the ability to better control the circumstances of our lives, improve our decision-making processes and generally live more productive lives.
This in no way suggests that we need downplay the many feelings and emotions we as humans enjoy, it's a simply a way for us to manage and balance them with our cognitive abilities.
We are thinking critically and in problem solving mindset when we:
Rely on reason rather than emotion
Evaluate a broad range of viewpoints and
perspectives
Maintain an open mind to alternative interpretations Accept new evidence, explanations and findings Are willing to reassess informationCan put aside personal prejudices and biases Consider all reasonable possibilities Avoid hasty judgments
Like any other skill, learning to think critically or problem-solve takes time, perseverance and practice. Knowing which steps to take and how to apply them helps us master the process.
Steps to Critical Thinking As It Relates To Problem Solving:
1. Identify the Problem. The first task is to determine if a problem exists. Sometimes when you think this point through, you may come to the conclusion that there really isn't a problem, just a misunderstanding. If that's the case, fine. If not, and you determine that there is indeed a problem, you need to identify exactly what it is. According to Barry Lubetkin, a New York clinical psychologist, how systematically someone weighs the pros and cons of a problem and how clearly the person can define and state it, is also an indication of highly developed intelligence.
2. Analyze the problem, look at it from different angles. Once you've determined the problem, analyze it by looking at it from a variety of perspectives. Is it solvable? Is it real or perceived? Can you solve it alone or do you need help? Sometimes by looking at it from many angles you can come up with a resolution right away. You may also reveal a bias or narrow point of view that needs to be broadened
3. Brainstorm and come up with a several possible solutions. Problems can be solved in many ways. Brainstorm a list of several possible solutions. Put down anything that comes to mind and then go over the list and narrow it down to the best possibilities. Having several viable options leads to obtaining the best results.
