Whatever your favorite music style may be, it has been scientifically proven that music affects a person’s mood. We could state, even without scientific evidence, that music conveys emotions to its listeners. Music helps build confidence and courage, arouse enthusiasm, or it could even cause you to become depressed or annoyed. You probably have once wept, felt calm, or gained courage after listening to music that, although you were unaware, was apparently designed to cause you that feeling. Think about how movie soundtracks highlight the moves and the mood in a scene. The music industry offers products for every situation imaginable: from beach parties to melancholic funerals, there is even background music arranged for elevators, lobbies and waiting rooms. This genre of music has a name, "Muzak". The language of the lyrics may be linked to your personality or mood. Fans of Italian music are known for their romantic, nostalgic ballads, whereas fans of industrial rock bands could say that Germany is fit for the aggressive chords and message of the songs. Major and minor tones seem to cheer people up or make them feel blue or tense, respectively, However, history shows how typical Middle Eastern party music uses mostly minor tones. If you want to listen to music that matches your present mood, check out the playlists that websites such as Stereomood, Musicovery and Lastfm have come up with. Approached with the right techniques, music has therapeutic properties, which have been used in the treatment of patients undergoing surgery or recovering from traumas. Speaking of techniques, any sentence or text put into a melody becomes easier to memorize. The relationship between musical taste and personality seems to be close, and even the correlation between IQ and musical preference has been investigated. But we should not label people based on their musical preferences. In brief whether itis rock, grunge, classical or R&B, the music you listen to alters your feelings while it also tells alittle something about you. — ‘WIZARDpom Vol ne(cie iste uae ce AED Please convey our condolences to the family for their loss.

The need to keep track of your emotions has” ranked higher on the list of priorities on the path to personal achievement after it was observed that a high IQ and brilliant minds don't necessarily walk hand in hand with success. Human beings are not logical, and it is rather difficult to walk the talk at times. Although we are only superficially informed of it, there is a way to manage this seemingly chaotic pool of emotions with an important tool called, "emotional intelligence’. ‘Awareness of your own potential and Shortcomings allows you to focus on your good qualities, work on your flaws, and also helps you to be more tolerant towards others. It also teaches you the difference between being self-conscious and being selfish, and how far you should put others' needs above your own, without being taken. advantage of. There is absolutely nothing wrong with feeling emotions such as anger, jealousy or frustration. Some feelings manifest our principles or protect us from danger. You don’t have to actually feel. anger, when feacting in an angry manner, in order to cause a desired effect on somebody else. There are ways of influencing other people and keeping emotionally healthy. The issue arises when you act on those feelings and do things you might regret later on. Introspection is not a very familiar exercise to us, but it is basically like disciplining yourself to work out every day. Studies claim that feeling angry and\bearing grudges are bad for your health and can even cause you heart problems and other diseases, Keep a diary of your reactions and reflect on why you behaved a certain way and whether that one attitude or response is worth repeating in future similar situations. This will create an emotional awareness that can be a great . benefit to you. One of the main indicators of being emotionally intelligent towards others is being a good listener.

Initially, it sounds bizarre to tell a friend you had a debate with the author of the book you are currently reading because it is not technically a debate, but it sure is an excellent and intriguing exercise. Obviously, some gripping stories will drive your curiosity to the last page as fast as possible. Try this the next time you read a book. When you are finished reading it, reflect on and review what you read, and how it compares to your experiences, how it challenges your principles and life outlook; then keep the book or throw the knowledge gained away. You can engage with the author as you go, not just when you finish the book. Ponder over the issues presented, take notes, and try to apply the ideas; then add it to your bucket of knowledge in’ that area. As authoritative as a literary work may be considered in a certain field, it should not be taken as the only trustworthy source of information. Books can carry a reader to new worlds and through.many new experiences. Reading can be a form of escape and adventure for the reader. But there is more on a page than the words you read. You can discover what the author was thinking or feeling wheh they wrote the book. Also, there is symbolism, political persuasions, and hidden values that the author tried to portray as he/she wrote the words. After you have learned to read between the lines, you will be able to understand the author's state of mind at the time of writing the book, which will help guide your reading and help you better understand the author's intentions. = WIZARDaed cents Smell men MTS Late (oh Ponder before making any decision.

Most large corporations: promote sustainability with campaigns to raise awareness and cause people to reflect on small changes they can make every day in order to save water, energy and to facilitate recycling. If a whole company avoids the use of disposable materials, such as plastic cups, paper plates and napkins, there is a significant decrease in the waste produced yearly.

Things that you may have used to make q iE your decision could have been subjects Bilal that you studied in school. Some subjects that you found boring you probably didn’t do as well in. Other classes raised your interest,and you may have foundyourself the first to raise your hand and come up with the answers or even better, with good questions. This ability to relate to a subject or ease in understanding is called aptitude. IQ tests were used to assess aptitude in students, but when they observed that some children had low scores in logics and math, but were really good at expressing themselves through speaking, writing or sports, many skeptics emerged. Gifted musicians or born athletes seem to discover their abilities without any lesson or training. These inborn skills are called talents. All kinds of intelligence tests and vocational tests are available to help you find out what career best fits your unique abilities and interests. Your score on these tests won't reveal what course you should take at the university or what business you should start. The tests can only be a guide for you to consider areas where you could possibly develop your potential. The scores on these tests reveal what you're good at and what you are passionate about. If it helps, observe how much youresemble your parents when you take action and tackle problems. Aptitude is believed to be partly hereditary. Spend some time'wondering what yourcallingjin life may be and make a list of the answers you get. Think of something that fills you with great joy when you do it. That doesn’t necessarily mean that work is always going to be fun. There is always paperwork to complete and procedures to follow in every workplace that might wear you out from time to time. This is especially true if you're an artist, developer or designer, for instance. The insight you have from reflecting on your aptitudes, talents, and interests will point you to the career that could be an important ingredient to your personal achievement and professional success.259 The little girl struggled to read the book.

When remedy needs to intervene, people tend to be impatient for the cures, and rely on the chemical reactions caused by the drugs bought at the nearest pharmacy.

Medications and alternative medicine are both ways to treat an illness, but the latter may actually be a better form of treatment. and prevention. While most people are driven to conventional doctors for advice as their first option, more and more are turning to alternative medicine. Painkillers and antibiotics have been replaced by homeopathic doses and acupuncture sessions, Bach flower drops have become the new anti-depressant, and why go see a shrink if there's meditation? Alternative medicine is the umbrella term for these alternative treatment options. Alternative medicine practitioners have had a steady increase in the market due to a recent shift in public preference.
