Top 7 Ways to Communicate Effectively - 0 views

  • Have self-worth
  • Get interested in other people
  • Open up a person’s heart
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Listen at least two times more than you talk
  • Diversify yourself
  • Understand that your worth never changes Follow along…In my hand I am holding a check for a million dollars. I crumble it up. It’s still worth a million dollars. I step on it, it’s still worth a million dollars, I start rubbing it on the floor with my shoe, and it’s till worth a million dollars. You are worth a lot more than a million dollars. In fact, your worth is immeasurable. Therefore, there is no such thing as ‘rejection’ as you’re always worth the same no matter what. Nobody can reject you because nobody can change your worth. Moreover, don’t be afraid of something (rejection) that doesn’t exist. Take risks, ask for what you want, and eventually you will get what you want.
  • Understand that your worth never change
  • Follow the step-ladder to success

Facebook Causes Barrow Teacher's Firing 111009 | myfoxatlanta.com - 6 views

  •  
    To me, this example is over the line but anything that takes away from your ability to teach is considered a problem and reason to fire you. I think this is no acceptable when the teacher had everything marked as private and did not allow parents nor admins on her facebook page - again, facebook is not secure.
