Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is just round the corner. This is the year of the metal rabbit. Let us hope this year of metal rabbit is a better year.

With the coming year, the mandarin oranges are a bit expensive due to poor harvest. However mandarin oranges are synonymous with Chinese New Year. The hypermarkets are having mid night promotion for last minutes shoppers. The shopping complexes are decorated in line with the festival occasion. It is also the time of the year when we have to take stock and review.

The fast and easy way to review our personality and career:

o identify our areas of strength and possible areas of weakness;
o Capitalise on our strength and improve on our weaknesses;
o Understand our own preference for personal development;
o Chart our career path and recognize opportunities for greater success.

How to detect lies

People lie for various reasons, be it power, advantage or money. Sometimes we lie out of fear. Sometimes we tell a white lie and we console ourselves that the lie is for a good cause. Lie whether white or otherwise is still a lie.

Body Language Of A Liar
A person who is lying will tend to avoid eye contact and does not look straight in the eye. The body language in term of physical expression is limited and stiff with few arm movements. When a right handed person looks to the top right before he answers a question, he is accessing the creative part of his brain - therefore he is lying. However there are people who are `reverse organised' - those who look to the left when they lie and vice versa. So do not be too quick to jump to conclusion.

Interactions and reactions
A liar tends to be defensive. A liar tends to turn the body away and feels very uncomfortable when faced with a questioner.

Project a confident image

Successful people are usually confident people and they believe that the best will happen to them. It is confidence that spurs them on despite the obstacles that are placed before them.

Below are the attributes of a confident person:

Positive thinking
To develop confidence, you need to believe in yourself and constantly engage in positive self talk. Believe that you can accomplish what you have set out to do. Believe in your ability to do anything that you want to do.

Speak positively and make daily positive affirmations before going to sleep and when you wake up in the morning.

Start each day by telling yourself `Today is going to be a great day for me.'

Visualize success
Always think of success and visualize them and enjoy the feelings. Do it regularly and your confidence will grow.

Improve image
Project an image of confidence to others and this includes the way you carry yourself and the manner of speech. Dress appropriately for any occasion and adopt a positive posture. You should walk tall and sit confidently. Eye contact is important as it establishes confidence.

At the end of the day if you have confidence in yourself, you generate positive energy, great determination and drive within you. This in turn helps you to meet the challenges and overcome the odds and hurdles.

Happy New Year 2011

Goodbye 2010 and welcome 2011. New Year means making new year resolutions and keeping them. Revellers welcomed the new year with a big bang and at the stroke of midnight there was a magnificent display of fireworkds. The revellers erupted in cheers and wished each other Happy New Year.

Another significant meaning 1.1.11 and guess what I got it from the new year message from a friend. Let us not be satisifed and instead strive to be better in whatever we set out to do. Let us also set aside our differences and be a better person both in outlook and our approach to life as a whole.

Last but not least happy new year 2011
