Shared hobbies, interests & passion

Whenever you go to a meeting or hang out with people, a good preparation always makes you feel more confident. Besides having good appearance and strong mindset, understanding well about the person before hands is a good way to make impression as well.

You might think that being interesting is an innate talent, or that it means you have to be the "life of the party." Neither of those things are necessarily true. If you want to leave a good impression, you don't have to make sure all eyes are on you.

Times May Change, But Your Core Values Don't See the good in everything. Make him or her feel special. Never stop learning. Keep your promises. Do right by others. Be a loyal friend. Appreciate what you have. Be humble. Challenge yourself. Practice what you preach. Reach for the stars.

More than we'd probably like to admit so many of our days are spent in in a state of self-delusion, an internal monologue of justifying our actions, both good and bad. When we do something wrong, our evolutionary instincts kick in and we do anything we can to not acknowledge the obvious: sometimes, it's all our fault.

I will be the first to admit it; I haven't always had a good work/life balance. For some time I worked as a Strategy Consultant for a global management consulting firm. For me, it was hell on earth. An eternal battle just to get a decent night's sleep, let alone spend time with the people I love.

Prepare your body and your mind for a restful night's sleep is not something you can leave to chance. It's important. Follow the same routine day after day, night, offers you the best opportunity to deal with hours of pure sleep. That's why follow the customs before you go to sleep is essential.

When your loved one shares a painful experience, do you try to lighten the moment? When your loved one says they are upset with you, have you found yourself justifying your words or actions, only to have your partner become more upset? Despite your best intentions, you may be suffering from a lack of empathy.

It might seem counter-intuitive, but one of the best ways to take on a new habit or goal might be trying the complete opposite of what you think is the best way. When you're putting a puzzle together, you sometimes have to flip the piece in order for it to fit-even if you were convinced it would go in the first way you tried it.
