The Top 25 Ways to Win Arguments
- Don’t focus on winning or losing; focus on achieving objectives.
- Interrupting to make your point is pointless.
- Be smart not right. You aren’t finding the right answer; you’re searching for the better alternative.
- Focus on progress rather than perfect solutions.
- Trying to solve the past is futile; you can, however, move in better directions.
- Give ground on peripheral or non-essential points.
- Keep things simple. Complexity stalls solutions.
- Never tell someone what they think; ask them.
- Never let someone tell you what you think.
- Your “opponent” will use over-statements and unrealistic conclusions to invalidate your goals.
- Your opponent will make you angry. When they do, you lose.
- Keep an open posture.
- Remove barriers and obstacles. Create a clear path across the table or desk. Better yet step away from the desk.
- Physically align yourself with them. Rather than face-to-face, stand beside.
- Talk while taking a walk.
- Be pleasant but not jovial.
- When they raise their voice, lower yours.
- Use “and” more than “but” because “but” is an eraser. For example, I agree with you but…, diminish agreements.
- Show respect; don’t get personal.
- Identify your opponent’s objectives and agree where possible. Help them win before you win.
- Explore your opponent’s options.
- Address your opponent’s fears.
- Use experts and research.
- Speak to the heart – if they have one.
- Stay on point. Distractions are normal.
We all go through periods of feeling anxious, irritable or depressed.
However, there are many things you can do to help boost your mood.
The foods you eat can directly influence the way you feel,
so check out these top five foods to beat the blues.
1) Marmite
If you’re feeling anxious, stressed or depressed, a dose of B vitamins
could help to lift your mood. B vitamins are important for normal brain function
and producing mood-boosting serotonin, with vitamins B12 and B6 being
particularly beneficial for regulating your mood.
To up your intake of B vitamins, try snacking on Marmite on wholegrain toast.
As Marmite is fortified with vitamin B12, this is a particularly good choice of
food for vegans and vegetarians who may struggle to get their recommended intake.
2) Oily fish
Omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish are well known for being good for the heart.
However, they are equally beneficial for our brain health and mood.
A study by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine found that
participants who had lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood were more likely
to be moderately depressed and have a negative outlook.
Furthermore, a study has found surprisingly low rates of seasonal affective
disorder in Icelanders, where the diet is high in omega-3 rich fish.
To follow in their footsteps and help ward off the blues,
try eating two portions of oily fish a week, or up to four for men.
3) Chocolate
Many people find themselves reaching for chocolate to ease a bad mood,
and this could in fact be no bad thing.
Research has shown that chocolate contains many chemicals which can help beat the blues,
including relaxing magnesium, calming anandamide and pleasure-inducing phenylethylamine.
To up the mood-boosting benefits further, try snacking on chocolate-dipped strawberries
for a healthy treat.
Strawberries are not only a good source of vitamin C, which helps in the production
of endorphins, but they are high in mood-enhancing flavonoids too.
4) Bananas
Bananas are high in natural sugars, making them a great remedy for low energy levels
which can leave you feeling down. On top of this they are packed with mood-lifting nutrients
to help put a smile on your face.
Bananas are a great source of tryptophan, an essential amino acid which boosts serotonin levels,
helping to regulate your mood. Furthermore, they are rich in magnesium, which can help you
to relax and vitamin B6, which can help to relieve depression.
5) Nuts
Walnuts are the perfect good-mood food, offering the combined mood-boosting properties
of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B6 and tryptophan.
The nuts are also a good source of folate (vitamin B9); the deficiency of which has been
linked to depression.
As well as snacking on walnuts, another good nut to add into your diet is the Brazil.
Brazil nuts are an extremely rich source of the mineral selenium, with research suggesting
that just one Brazil nut a day can provide you with your recommended daily intake.
As low levels of selenium can lead to depression, irritability and anxiety, snacking on Brazils
could be the perfect healthy way to boost your mood.
Diwali Festival In India
"Diwali", the festival of lights, illuminates the darkness of the New Year's moon, and strengthens our close friendships and knowledge, with a self-realization!
Diwali is celebrated on a nation-wide scale on Amavasya - the 15th day of the dark fortnight of the Hindu month of Ashwin, (October/November) every year. It symbolizes that age-old culture of India which teaches to vanquish ignorance that subdues humanity and to drive away darkness that engulfs the light of knowledge. Diwali, the festival of lights even to-day in this modern world projects the rich and glorious past of India.
Every year on the dark nights of Diwali the sound of firecrackers announces the celebration of the favorite festival of Indians. Homes are decorated, sweets are distributed by everyone and thousands of lamps are lit to create a world of fantasy. Of all the festivals celebrated in India, Diwali is by far the most glamorous and important. Enthusiastically enjoyed by people of every religion, its magical and radiant touch creates an atmosphere of joy and festivity.
The ancient story of how Diwali evolved into such a widely celebrated festival is different in various regions and states of India. In the north, particularly in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Bihar and the surrounding areas, Diwali is the day when King Rama's coronation was celebrated in Ayodhya after his epic war with Ravana, the demon king of Lanka. By order of the royal families of Ayodhya and Mithila, the kingdom of which Sita was princess, the cities and far-flung boundaries of these kingdoms were lit up with rows of lamps, glittering on dark nights to welcome home the divine king Rama and his queen Sita after 14 years of exile, ending with an across-the-seas war in which the whole of the kingdom of Lanka was destroyed.
On the day of Diwali festival, doorways are hung with torans of mango leaves and marigolds. Rangolis are drawn with different colored powders to welcome guests. The traditional motifs are often linked with auspicious symbols of good luck. Oil diyas are arranged in and around the house. Because of these flickering lamps, the festival has acquired its name : Dipawali or Diwali meaning 'a rows of lamps'. On this day, people buy something for the house or some jewelry for the women of the house. It is auspicious to be buy something metallic, such as silver.
Whatever may be the fables and legends behind the celebrations of Diwali, all people exchange sweets, wear new clothes and buy jewelry at this festive time. Card parties are held in many homes. Diwali has become commercialized as the biggest annual consumer spree because every family shops for sweets, gifts and fireworks. However, in all this frenzy of shopping and eating, the steady, burning lamp is a constant symbol of an illuminated mind.
