Packing for a trip – it’s always great fun because it’s that part of the pre-trip preparations where you get to slowly and fully savor the anticipation of the trip while the excitement builds. So it’s also easy to go way overboard here, packing enough stuff, a lot of it unnecessary, that a sturdy pack mule would buckle under. Let’s see, then, what you can do to lighten the load with some high-mileage, minimalist packing tips. And while we’re at it, let’s also see what you can do to remain health conscious while you’re traveling light. 1. Pack Only the Essential Items  Forget the nice-to-haves and pack only what is absolutely essential. A toothbrush is essential, but body wash is just a nice-to-have extra because you can get a bar of soap anywhere you go. It may take a trip or two to figure out exactly what you have to have and what you can do without. But once you have it down pat, you’ll appreciate the lighter bag and the greater mobility.  2. Pack Versatile Items...

How did Mark Zuckerberg change the world? He built a global community that brings people closer together. The origins of Facebook are available to the general public. Everyone is familiar with the story of building social network platform that will greatly impact human relations and economy . Mark's vision of community opened a door to many variations of social media network platforms that today exist. Jack Dorsey created Twitter in March 2006. Rome may not have been built in a day, but Twitter was built in just two weeks, says Jack.  A few years later Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger built a pared-down photo app today known as Instagram . Facebook has now 2 billion monthly users, Twitter 328 million and Instagram 700 million worldwide users. Mark did pave the way for many new social media networks. He got one brilliant idea that greatly impacted the humanity. However, other social media channels were created only because their CEOs were smart enough to recognize good opport...

Make sure to ask lots of follow up questions related to their answers. But remember it’s a conversation , not an interrogation . So when they ask you a question, make sure to give a long detailed answer and answer any follow-up questions they ask you. Every conversation should be a give and take of talking and listening. Two topics that you WON’T find on this list are religion and politics. And that is because you probably shouldn’t discuss these topics unless you want to get into an argument with the person or make the person uncomfortable . Seriously, just don’t. And of course, there are some people who might just not feel like talking. Remember, if someone gives you a lot of one-word answers, doesn’t make eye contact, and doesn’t ask you any questions; that probably means they aren’t in the mood for a conversation. In that case, it’s better to just end the conversation and leave them to their own thoughts. Okay, enough with the introduction and tips. Here we go, topics to talk...

A longitudinal study begun in 1956 on the effect of the child's temperament on his development included 141 children, 136 of whom remained throughout the study. Aged 4 to 10 years in 1966, the 69 boys and 67 girls had a mean IQ of 127 established at 3 and 6 years of age and were from 85 middle or upper-middle-class families. The Parental Attitude Research Instrument indicated a homogeneity of attitude (permissive, child-centered) which, however, was not duplicated in actual child care practice. Temperamental characteristics established on a 3-point scale were activity level, rhythmicity, approach or withdrawal, adaptability, the intensity of reaction,  the threshold of responsiveness, quality of mood, distractibility, and attention span and persistence. Regular parental, teacher and direct observations were conducted, and direct behavioral observation and parent interviews were significantly correlated (p=.01). Behavioral disturbances developed in 42 of the children (th...

The authors discuss how social media can be used to increase productivity, aid professional development , and improve communication with students, families, and the greater community. For example, some schools use Facebook and Twitter to spread the word about school news and upcoming events. Others host blogs or wikis to share information about particular classes or school projects . The authors do, however, stress the importance of planning ahead before embracing any form of social media. As a high school principal, one of the greatest benefits of using social media has been connecting with stakeholders by delivering real-time information on student achievements , staff innovations, athletic scores, meetings and important updates to our school Web site. Additionally, the school has benefited from an impactful public relations platform by delivering news and content through tools that our students, parents, and community members use on a routine basis at home. This ...

While you might know that you need to exercise your body, did you know that it might also be important to exercise your mind? You've probably heard the old adage "use it or lose it. " Many researchers do believe that this maxim applies to your brain health. Brain training is all the rage these days, often touted as a way to sharpen your mind and even boost intelligence. While many cognitive scientists suggest that the claims surrounding brain training are both  exaggerated and misleading , there is an abundance of research suggesting that certain types of activities can be beneficial for your brain's health. The  brain's plasticity  allows it to adapt and change, even as you grow older. As you learn new things, you can create and strengthen neural pathways and networks. This helps make your brain stronger, but it can also help make it more flexible and adaptable to change. While the researchers still debate whether or not brain training might ac...

Read the Quran properly Do not scatter the Quran like inferior dates and do not chant it quickly as with poetry. Stop at its wonders, move the hearts with it, and let not your concern be the end of the surah. Pardoned for great sins Do not take a small sin lightly; instead, think about Who it is that you are disobeying. You are disobeying the Almighty Lord Who sometimes punishes people for small sins, and sometimes pardons people for great sins. Real trust Trust is that there should be no difference between what you do and say and what you think. Most beneficial remedy The most beneficial remedy is that you preoccupy yourself with thoughts of what should concern you and not those that should not concern you. Thought becomes actions If the first inward thought is not warded off, it will generate a desire, then the desire will generate a wish, and the wish will generate an intention, and the intention will generate the action , and the action will ...

Books are wonderful for creating new thoughts and stimulating great ideas. For a long time, I didn't read much. When I added business books to my routine, it helped me learn more and expand my way of thinking. But several years ago, I started again reading fiction and histories. These stories really got me out of my daily headspace and activated my idea generator. Even if you can't make the  time for a novel , go hunt down a bookstore and spend an hour browsing. You'll find plenty of thought stimulation. If you know how to read, then reading books is relatively easy. You simply have to make time to read. Easier said than done, of course. When I looked at my own reading habits, I realized that my reading habits were mostly reactive, not proactive. If an interesting link flashed across my screen on Facebook or Twitter, then I would read it as a reaction. I wasn't proactively making time to read books each day. I was simply reading interesting ideas that were pu...

The Needle Tree There were once two brothers who lived on the edge of a forest. The elder brother was very mean to his younger brother and ate up all the food and took all his good clothes. One day, the elder brother went into the forest to find some firewood to sell in the market. As he went around chopping the branches of a tree after tree, he came upon a magical tree. The tree said to him, ‘Oh kind sir, please do not cut my branches. If you spare me, I will give you my golden apples’. The elder brother agreed but was disappointed with the number apples the tree gave him. Greed overcame him, and he threatened to cut the entire trunk if the tree didn’t give him more apples. The magical tree instead showered upon the elder brother hundreds upon hundreds of tiny needles . The elder brother lay on the ground crying in pain as the sun began to lower down the horizon. The younger brother grew worried and went in search of his elder brother. He found h...

Critical thinking . We all endorse it. We all want our students to do it. And we claim to teach it. But do we? Do we even understand and agree on what it means to think critically? According to Paul and Elder’s (2013a) survey findings, most faculties don’t know what critical thinking is or how to teach it. Unless faculty  explicitly  and  intentionally  design their courses to build their students’ critical thinking skills and receive training in how to teach them, their students do not improve their skills (Abrami et al., 2008). This common blind spot is understandable. The critical thinking literature is quite abstract and fragmented among different scholars who don’t seem to talk to each other: Stephen Brookfield (2012), the critical theory and adult education specialist, focuses on assumptions . Diane Halpern (2003), who’s been awarded for her teaching and research, takes the perspective of a cognitive psychologist. Richard Paul and Linda Elde...

Love, fear, anger, joy, excitement , and other emotions are abstract nouns. Courage, bravery, cowardice, and other such states are abstract nouns.
