Article in English: If you want to be tough, you first have to start accepting yourself for who you are. If you prefer staying up late to read science-fiction, as opposed to keeping up with the hottest television show, so be it. If a group of people think something’s funny, but you don’t, so what? Pretending to be someone you’re not is an obvious sign of insecurity or weakness. People can easily pick up on it, and you surely won’t look so tough if someone calls you out on it. This goes hand-in-hand with step 1. If you’ve accepted who you are, then you have the groundwork you need to become self-confident. What does this have to do with being a tough girl? Easy. If you’re confident and comfortable in who you are, then you can confidently handle any situation that comes your way. You’ll be confident in your beliefs and the decisions you make. And you won’t be afraid to let others know it. Here are some ways you can improve your self-confidence.  Make a list of things you admire about yourself, your strengths, and achievements on a sheet of paper. Turn a blank sheet of paper horizontally and either fold into thirds or simply draw two vertical lines to create three columns. In each column, write at least five things you like about yourself, at least five things you feel you’re great at, and at least five things you’re proud to have achieved. Do you think you have a great smile? Do you have a knack for making people laugh when they’re feeling down? Are you proud of the evening you spent feeding the homeless? Write down whatever comes to mind. Read over your list often as a reminder of how great you are. Think positively about yourself. Pinpoint a couple qualities about yourself (maybe some that you wrote down in your list) and think about them often. Another tip: take those negative thoughts and reverse them. If you’re thinking, “I hate the way I look,” you could say: “My eyes are really pretty.”  Dress to feel better about yourself. If you feel your wardrobe doesn’t reflect the real you or make you happy, find clothes that do. If...

Article in English: If you want to be true to the name "boyfriend jeans," then you want to wear a pair of jeans that look like they could have been borrowed from your boyfriend -- which means they probably weren't his newest, shiniest-looking pair. Whether they're frayed, faded, or have a few tears, the jeans should look a bit worn, even if you just bought them an hour ago. Don't go overboard with this. Your jeans can look slightly worn without appearing messy, really old, or just generally looking like they need to be donated or thrown out ASAP. Though the boyfriend jeans are meant to look a bit big and like they could have belonged to a man, they shouldn't actually be made to fit a man's body. If you buy a pair of men's pants, they'll be too baggy, too big around the waist, and they won't have the same flattering cut around the front and back. Make sure to resist the temptation to actually wear a pair of men's pants and to invest in -- or borrow -- a pair of women's boyfriend jeans instead. Though boyfriend jeans are usually low-waisted, you can also buy a mid-to-high waisted version of these jeans. The kind of cut that is best for you depends on your body type. If you carry extra weight around your middle, then you should stick to mid- or high- waisted jeans to avoid getting a "muffin top" look. But if your figure is relatively straight and you're on the thin side, then low-waisted jeans can help give your body the appearance of more curves and definition.  Though the pants are made to look a bit big and worn, that does not mean that they shouldn't fit you correctly. The right pair of boyfriend jeans should fit you around the waist, whether it's low-cut, mid-cut, or high-cut. The jeans should be loose around your legs, but not so baggy that your figure is lost in them. You can find boyfriend jeans in a variety of washes, from very light blue to very dark denim. Most often, a darker wash is dressier and a bit more formal than a lighter wash. Darker jeans are better for more formal events, and may suit older women a bit better...

Article in English: If you want to become a meteorologist, start preparing in high school. Take advanced math and science courses. Many schools offer AP courses that can transfer into college credit.  Take calculus, physics, chemistry, and earth science. Hone your writing skills in English classes. Being a scientist means writing research papers and lab reports. If you become a meteorologist on a television station, you will have to communicate clearly. Meteorologists use computers to help with their research and weather predictions. They work with computer programs and computer models when doing research. You need a deep understanding of computers and technology to pursue a career in this field. Meteorologists receive a bachelor's of science degree in meteorology or atmospheric sciences.  In college, you will take math and science classes, such as calculus, physics, dynamics, synoptics, and some computer programming courses.  Some meteorologists receive degrees which combine meteorology with other scientific fields, such as chemistry, geology, oceanography, physics, or statistics. It may be beneficial to take computer science classes during your degrees, too.  If you want to be a TV meteorologist, take classes in journalism, speech, or other media-related fields. If you want to start working for the government right after your bachelor's degree, you will have to have completed courses which fall under strict guidelines. You must have at least 24 credit hours of atmospheric science or meteorology. Depending on the job you want, you may need to get a master's or Ph.D. Most meteorologists get degrees in related, interdisciplinary subjects. Some even get two master's in different sciences. Some graduate degree programs encourage bachelor's in a field like math or computer science instead of meteorology.  Many higher level positions require at least a master's. If you want to do research, you will need a Ph.D.  There are about 100 undergraduate and graduate programs for meteorology. A good way to get experience at any point during...

Article in English: If you want to become a prodigy, you'll need to pursue your passions. If you decide to work in a field that fascinates you, you're more likely to be motivated to develop the skill set necessary to becoming a prodigy.  What inspires and fascinates you? What has always been interesting to you, ever since childhood? If you start with a field you already have some knowledge and interest in, you'll have a head start in developing the skills of a prodigy.  Do you already have some skills due to hobbies? Do you sketch casually? Play the piano on the weekends? If you choose to work on a skill you're already somewhat proficient at, your practice will be of higher quality. There is no quick and easy way to develop the skills necessary to become a prodigy. You'll simply need to practice as much as possible.  Focus when you practice. Keep your mind in the here and now. All you need to do is complete this one skill in this one moment. Do not let your mind wander to other things during practice sessions.  Incorporate practice into your day-to-day life. Make time for practicing in your schedule as you would brushing your teeth at night or showering in the morning. People are often controlled by fear. If you fear failure or mediocrity, this can hold you back from developing new skills and pursuing your passion. Try to have confidence in yourself at all times. Be confident, bold, and willing to try new things even if you'll sometimes fail in the process. Fearing failure or less than perfect results will only hold you back as you attempt to become a prodigy. You cannot achieve the talents of a prodigy without guidance. Find the best teacher possible if your goal is to become a prodigy.  How you find the right teacher depends greatly on the skill set you're working to build. If you want to be a writing prodigy, for example, consider applying for a top-tier Master of Fine Arts program, such as the Iowa Writer's Workshop, in order to gain access to great teachers. If you want to be a ballet prodigy, look into prestigious dance...

Article in English: If you want to become a professional dancer, you will need proper training. You will need to take a variety of classes, beginning with beginner classes and moving up as your skill level increases. However, classes can be fun and helpful even if your goal is to two-step at a local dance club. For cheap classes, check with local dance studios, your city's parks and recreation programs, and even your local community college. You can also major in dance at a university. However, these programs are very competitive, and most of them will be difficult to get into. Also, be aware that many dance programs require you to be a certain weight to be a part of the program. If you've taken a few classes and want to just have fun as a dancer, try auditioning for community theater. In most community theater programs, you'll run into amateurs like yourself, so you'll be in good company. Work with your future spouse to choreograph your dance for your wedding. It's one way to make that first dance truly special. Maybe you want to just impress your friends at the dance club. If that's true, try out your moves on a Saturday night.

Article in English: If you want to build a lot of muscle, you need to eat a lot of protein. Studies have shown that people who eat protein gain muscle faster than those who don't. The reason is simple; your body uses protein to build muscle. The more protein you give your body, the more muscle you can build. If you're just beginning a workout routine, it's very important to get enough protein if you want to see fast results.   For every pound of body weight you have, you need to eat .73 grams (0.026 oz) of protein. For example, a 180 pound man would need to eat 130 grams (4.6 oz) of protein every day. It's best to evenly split your protein intake over three meals so that your body absorbs it properly; so, if you needed 120 grams (4.2 oz) of protein a day, you would eat about 40 grams (1 oz) of protein with each meal. Think about what foods you like. How many of them are high in protein? For example, lean beef is an excellent source of protein. In a four ounce serving of lean ground beef there are 29 grams (1 oz) of protein. If you like lean beef, try to incorporate this into your diet more often. If you don't eat meat, quinoa is also an excellent source of protein, with eight grams of protein per cup serving. Other good sources of protein include beets, eggs, brown rice, Greek yogurt, and chicken. Don't eat too much of the same thing; try to vary your diet so that you stay healthy. If you're trying to build muscle, you need to give your body the tools it needs to build that muscle. That means that you'll be eating a lot more calories than you're used to eating. To find out how many calories you need, multiply your body weight by twenty. For example, a 180 pound man needs to eat 3,600 calories per day to gain muscle.  Make sure you're working out hard in the gym! If you eat over 2,000 calories a day without any exercise you could gain fat instead of muscle. Stay away from sugary and fatty food! Get most of your calories from meats, vegetables, grains, and fruits by eating a balanced diet.

Article in English: If you want to burn a movie file so that it plays on any DVD player, you'll need special "DVD authoring" software. There are lots of these programs available, but DVD Styler is free and open-source. You can download it from dvdstyler.org/en/downloads.  Chrome may report the DVDStyler installation file as malware. If you get this warning, use a different browser to download the installer. Pay attention when installing the program. As of 6/6/2015, the Windows 64-bit installer did not bundle any adware, but this may change in the future. Read every installation screen carefully. When you launch DVD Styler for the first time, you'll be taken to the New Project window. There are a few settings you can adjust here before adding your video file(s):  Disc label - This is the name that will appear when the disc is inserted in a computer. Disc capacity - Most DVDs are DVD-5 (4.7 GB). If you have Dual Layer (DL) discs, select DVD-9 (8.5 GB). Video/Audio bitrate - This affects the quality of the video and audio. Most users can leave these at their defaults. Video Format - Choose PAL if you live in a PAL region (Europe, Asia, Brazil) or NTSC for NTSC regions (Americas, Japan, Korea). You will be prompted to change this if you add media that is in a different format. Aspect Ratio - Choose 4:3 if you're going to play the DVD on a standard definition television. Choose 16:9 if you're going to play the DVD on an HDTV. Note that this will not affect the aspect ratio of the actual video file. Audio Format - You can choose between AC3 or MP2. Most users can leave this on AC3. DVD Styler comes with several menu templates that you can choose from. You can also select "No template", which will just start playing the video as soon as the disc is inserted. This will add the video to your project. DVD Styler supports most video formats so you won't need to convert before adding.  The bar at the bottom of the window will display how many minutes of video you have used and how many you still have free. Depending on the type of video...

Article in English: If you want to carve stone into a shape for a project, or carve curves into stone, you have options as well. First, you need to gather some tools. The process of carving and shaping stone is a bit more delicate.  You will need a chisel set containing the following types of chisels: a large, heavy chisel, a point chisel, a claw chisel, a flat chisel, and a file. Chisel sets can be purchased online and at most hardware stores, but can get pricey. A set may cost up to $100. You will need dust masks to wear during the shaping process, as well as safety goggles. Leather gloves are a good idea as your hands may get sore while carving. To start, making a drawing of the object you're trying to carve. This can help guide you during the process. You may be making a fancy shape, like a flower, or just making a curved corner or a tile for a larger project. At any rate, sketch a rough drawing of your shape. You can use found stones, or slabs of stones you purchase at a hardware store, for your project. When selecting a stone to use, especially with found stones, you want to select something close to the shape you want. If a stone has a curved edge, for example, this would be a good option to carve out a curved corner. This will result in less extensive work for you as you shape the stone. From here, draw out your design on the stone itself. If you're carving a curve, draw the direction and shape of the curve along the edge of the stone. If you're drawing a fancy shape, like a flower, for example, draw out the shape of the petals, buds, and so on against the stone. You can use a marker or a pencil to draw on your stone. Now you can begin shaping to stone. Take your largest, heaviest chisel to start. You will use this to carve out the rough shape of the stone. Do not worry, during this process, if the stone does not look much like your desired shape. You will go through several different rounds of carving, and you're just trying to get a very rough outline here.  Scrape your chisel along the stone, carving it into the rough...

Article in English: If you want to catch the guy’s eye, then you shouldn’t hover around him, trying to make eye contact all day. Instead, you should work on doing your own thing, having a great time with your girlfriends, hitting up the dance floor, or just having a blast without needing a guy. You can smile at him and let him know you’ve noticed him, but focus on having a great time and he’ll want to be right there with you.   Of course, it’s impossible to be in a good mood all of the time. If you’re really having a down day, you shouldn’t feel the need to completely fake it. That said, though, you should work on cultivating a positive energy as much as you can. Potential boyfriends and potential friends are drawn to positive energy like moths to a flame. The more you laugh and the more joy you have in even the smallest things in life, like a clear night sky or an adorable puppy, the more people will be gravitating toward you. You shouldn’t be too chilly or mysterious if you want to get the guy you want, or he may think that you don’t really like him or that you’re just not very nice. Instead, you can be friendly, introduce yourself, and make a bit of small talk without letting him see that you really like him. Show him that you’re fun to talk to while leaving him wondering where your feelings are at; this will leave him to want to talk to you even more.  Don’t be afraid to say hi and to ask how he is. If he’s wearing a funny shirt, tell him you think it’s cool. Don’t put too much pressure on your first exchanges and just focus on having fun. Being friendly to others will also make you look like an awesome person who is worth getting to know. Don’t limit your friendliness to the guys you like and make an effort to get to know everyone in your orbit. Though you may think that “be yourself” is tired advice, the best thing you can really do to get the guy you want is to be just who you are instead of putting up a front or acting like a girl you think the guy would rather be with instead. Don’t hide your best qualities, even if...

Article in English: If you want to change the relationship you have with your mom, don't be afraid to take the first step. IF both of you are waiting for the other one to initiate change, nothing will ever happen.  Sometimes changing the relationship requires changing yourself. For example, if your relationship with your mother is strained because you have betrayed her trust, work on becoming more responsible and earning that trust back. The longer you wait to resolve conflicts, the worse they will become, so deal with your issues as soon as possible. Some things just aren't worth arguing over, so don't let these small things get in the way of the healthy relationship you are trying to build. If you are tempted to start arguing with your mom about something, take a moment to consider whether you would be better off just letting it go.  This is usually the best strategy for small, inconsequential things. For example, if you and your mom disagree about what kind of party you should throw for your dad's birthday, you may want to just let it slide. Don't just brush aside issues that are really important to you. For example, if you and your mom disagree about what you should study at college, you should not disregard your own opinions just to avoid a conflict. No matter what the problems between you and your mom may be, try to look at the situation from her perspective and understand how she must feel. Being empathetic will help you get past quarrels that you have had with your mom and move on.  Always take a moment to think about why your mom might feel the way she does. Keep in mind that her various life experiences will influence her opinions. Doing your best to understand where she is coming from is a great way to start having more empathy for your mom. It's important to keep in mind that your mom is a human being who makes mistakes, just like you. Don't expect her to be perfect. No matter what has happened between you and your mom in the past, you have the power to forgive her. Forgiving does not mean that you are condoning your...

Article in English: If you want to charm a girl, make her feel special right away and get closer to sweeping her off her feet, then you have to make her see that you don't just see her as any ordinary person. Let her know that you think she's special by complimenting her when you see her. Remember not to say something that might creep her out. Tell her she has amazing hair, a quirky sense of humor, a fantastic laugh, or the most incredible sense of style you've ever seen.  Don't tell her she's beautiful or gorgeous quite yet. Though this is a nice compliment, if you tell her too early, she may feel like you're coming on too strong or being insincere. In your very first or second conversation, try to sneak in a subtle compliment that makes her see that you really see her as an individual, not just as any other girl. You can compliment aspects of her personality, too. Like a strong sense of responsibility, strength of character, morals, etc. Generally, people love to talk about themselves when they are given the chance. If you want to make the girl feel special, and like you really care, then you have to ask her a few questions about her life and her ideas. Don't give her the third degree or make her feel like she's in an interview. Just asking some slightly personal but not intrusive questions can really make her see that you're interested. Here are some topics to ask about:  If she has any pets -- if she does, what breed or what kind of cat or dog does she have? If she has siblings, what are their names, gender, what do they do, etc.? What her favorite movies, bands, books are? What her hobbies are and what she likes about her hobbies? What her job or classes are like for her? If you want the girl to feel special and like you really care about her, then you have to show that her opinions really matter to you. Ask her what she thinks about a variety of topics, from your new shoes to her taste in music. Don't ask any questions that could start a fight right away -- steer away from politics or any other sensitive topics. But asking...

Article in English: If you want to charm a lady, then you have to make your charm look effortless. If you’re bending over backwards to impress her, doing flips or walking on your hands, or trying out every joke in your arsenal, she’ll be on to your tricks. Instead, take a deep breath, relax, and get ready to work your magic. Speak slowly enough for her to hear you, don’t look like you’re clinging onto every single syllable she says, and don’t comment on the fact that your joke has fallen flat if it does. Just be yourself and the rest will follow.  Remember that if you really want to charm and  succeed with a lady, then you have to show her that you’re comfortable with being who you are. If you’re grinning from ear to ear while sweating and fidgeting, she won’t be charmed. Keep your body language calm and relaxed. Keep your hands at your sides or use them to gesture, keep your posture straight, and look at the lady instead of at the floor. Women love men who have a good sense of humor and who are also able to laugh at themselves. If you want to charm the lady, then you have to show that you don’t take yourself too seriously, and that you’re comfortable enough with who you are to poke fun at yourself. If you know you’re wearing a ridiculous pink shirt, that you have a cute gap in the front of your teeth, or that you’re known to be clumsy, don’t try to hide these adorable qualities from the girl; instead, show that you’re comfortable with who you are, flaws and all.  This doesn’t mean that you should be so self-deprecating that you look like you lack confidence. Just a light joke at your own expense or the ability to laugh at yourself if the lady makes the joke will do just fine.  Remember that a lady doesn’t want to hear really crass humor. The joke at your own expense can be completely PG. This is another way to charm a lady. You don’t have to be completely serious all the time. Talk about your embarrassing nickname for your puppy; show off your ability to juggle. Pull a quarter out of her ear (okay, so maybe not). Don’t be...

Article in English: If you want to connect to your audience, then you should consider its knowledge before you select a topic. If you're giving a speech to a group of aspiring writers, then you can comfortably reference other writers and literary terms; if you're speaking to a group that knows very little about writing, be careful when you make more obscure literary references. If you're speaking to a group that is knowledgeable about a topic, then you don't have to waste their time by discussing the most basic aspects of that topic. If you're speaking at a conference for young professionals, you can use more complicated terms and elaborate phrases, but if you're delivering a speech to middle school students, you'll have to change your terms and phrasing to connect to your audience. You don't want to lose your audience by speaking about something that is completely over their heads, or by delivering content in such a basic way that it sounds condescending. What would your audience need to know, and what would interest your audience? Put yourself in your audience's shoes and make a list of all of the things the audience would care about; an audience of teenagers would care about very different things from an audience of middle-aged adults. Imagine yourself as one of the audience members. If they're teenagers, pretend you're a teenager. Try seeing your topic choice from their perspective. If it bores or overwhelms you, then it won't be the right choice. Knowing the age, gender, and race of the members in your audience can help influence your topic. If most of your audience is over the age of 65, then you probably wouldn't talk about current fashion trends on the runway; if most of your audience is under the age of 20, then you wouldn't talk about saving for retirement.  If there are many more males than females in your audience, for example, then it may be best to pick a gender neutral or male-geared topic. Knowing the race of your audience can help pick a topic. If you have a diverse audience, then something about race relations...

Article in English: If you want to cope with your divorce as best as you can, then you need to give yourself time to grieve. You can't just expect to move on fully as soon as your ex moves out or as soon as the divorce is finalized. Even if the relationship had gone sour a long time ago, you'll still need time to deal with the emotional pain of ending a relationship with someone you once deeply loved. Instead of being in denial about how much you're hurting, you should tackle your feelings of confusion, pain, and sorrow head on.  It's okay to just let yourself cry for a while. This will be therapeutic and will make you feel better -- it's better than keeping these feelings in and letting them build up. If you don't want to be social, talk to your friends, or be out and about for a while, that's okay too. Though you'll feel better once you engage with the world and settle into a comfortable routine, you can't expect to do it overnight. You can keep a journal for writing down all of your thoughts of confusion and pain. This will help you heal as you figure out your feelings. Though you may have a number of regrets about the end of your marriage, whether you regret deeply hurting your loved one, not being around enough, or not taking the time to do the little things that might have helped the relationship grow, you can't waste your time asking "What if..." all day long. This will only make you feel more upset as you try to change things that are out of your control.  Try making a list of all of the things you regret and then tearing it up. Once you write down all of the things that you regret, you'll be able to deal with them more easily. It's likely that your ex is filled with regret, too. But remind yourself that this feeling won't lead you anywhere. Once you're ready to talk to your family and friends about the divorce, you should take the time to open up to a few close friends or family members, or even just one close friend or sibling, so you don't have to face all of your hurt feelings by yourself. Talk to your friends on the...

Don’t say things like “I don’t care” or “It doesn’t matter,” if you’re still upset about the situation. Lean into the feelings instead. Avoid doing things just to get back at your ex, like dating one of their friends in retaliation. Looking at the relationship from the outside might give you clarity that you don’t have. Think about the reasons you broke up with your ex in the first place. If you weren’t compatible, there’s a likelihood the relationship would have been bad for both of you and was never meant to be.  Even if you didn't want to break up with them, there's still a good chance that you weren't compatible. If you're concerned about your friend because of prior experiences with your ex, it's okay to express that. Just make sure to keep to the facts so that it doesn't look like you're bashing your ex. Signs of an unhealthy relationship include constant fighting, belittling, volatility, manipulation, and jealousy.  You may also may not be financially or emotionally in the same place as your ex. If you have items from the relationship, it may be harder to get over your ex. Get rid of anything sentimental that you own to help distance yourself from them. This will potentially reduce your negative feelings and help you maintain your friendship. Throwing away or tearing up things that remind you of your ex can be a therapeutic experience. Unfollow them or block their content so that you don’t see pictures of them. Following what your ex and friend are doing online is unhealthy and could help feed negative emotions. Distancing yourself from that imagery may help you get over the breakup and prevent you from feeling angry or sad at the situation.  You may also have to stop following your friend if they post photos or information...

Article in English: If you want to cut fat off your body, you should figure out your starting point. Weigh yourself and measure your body with calipers. Once you have the body fat measurement from your calipers, you can do body fat calculations that take into account your height and weight.  When cutting, you want to maintain your muscle mass while losing fat. This means you need a way to measure whether the weight you lose is from fat and not muscle. Calculating your body fat percentage is the easiest way to assess this. There are a variety of body fat calculators you can use online. You simply input your caliper readings and the other information requested and they will tell you your body fat percentage. When you start cutting you should make a goal for weight loss. This could be an overall goal but many people use a weekly goal. This allows you to track your progress weekly, make changes as you go, and set an end point for cutting.  Many people set a goal of losing 1 pound (16 ounces) per week while cutting. This is typically a reasonable goal that can be attained through dietary and lifestyle changes. A goal of losing more than 1 pound per week would likely require crash dieting or other extreme measures that are not healthy. Calculate when you need to have reached your target weight and work backwards. Make sure that you have enough time to safely lose 1 pound a week and meet your goal. As you begin cutting, don't be afraid to change your program. If you are not losing the weight that you want to, reduce the number of calories you are eating, make changes to what you are eating, or increase your exercise. Figuring out what works for you may take some fine-tuning.  If your cutting routine is not working, consider consulting with a fitness professional for some advice. They may have good insight into what you can do to reach your goals.  Self-discipline is important for cutting. Try to avoid temptation and stick with your new diet until you reach your goal. You need to reduce your caloric intake so that you are eating fewer...

Article in English: If you want to deal with criticism, then you have to understand the message behind it. If you've determined that the criticism is meant to be constructive, then you have to break it down so you can start figuring out what to do next. Sometimes, you may be focused on the hurtful aspects of the feedback and your pride may be too wounded for you to see what is right in front of you.  Sure, you weren't happy with the "C" on your English paper. But was your teacher trying to tell you that you were stupid and a horrible writer? Probably not. She wanted to tell you to research your argument more, and to use more concrete evidence to back up your claims. It also wouldn't have hurt to actually meet the word limit, would it? If your friend told you you're obsessed with yourself, sure that hurts. But could there be something helpful behind the message? Sure: your friend is telling you to be a little more empathetic, and to spend more time thinking about others and less time thinking about yourself. If the feedback is coming from a person who has your best interest in mind, then you have to consider the possibility that there really is some truth to those words. It's even more likely if you've heard similar comments before. If ten people told you you were selfish, or if your last three girlfriends told you you were emotionally distant, then they can't all be wrong, can they? Take a moment to consider the possibility that this person is really on to something. Okay, you've decided that your English teacher, boss, boyfriend, or best friend is completely right, or at least somewhat right. Now, you've got to write down the thing you need to work on, and make a plan for addressing it. This can take a long time, and it's never too late to start. Once you come up with a plan, a way of adjusting your expectations and actions, you can begin to address the criticism and become a better person.  If your English teacher is right about you needing to do more research, then make a point of spending twice as much time reading up on...

Summary in Russian:

Постарайтесь хорошо понять, что вам в действительности только что сказали. Подумайте о том, есть ли за этими словами правда. Составьте план, который позволит вам соответствующим образом отреагировать на критику. Поблагодарите человека за откровенность (если он говорил с вами вежливо). Перестаньте оправдываться. Помните о том, что конструктивная критика сделает из вас более гармоничного и развитого человека.


Article in English: If you want to deal with dumb people in the moment, then you should avoid anything that can upset them, make them angry, or make them start a crusade to prove that you're wrong. If you know that this person is pretty stupid and has pretty stupid opinions, then why bother talking about something serious -- which may mean a lot to you. Just stick to the pleasantries, ("Hi, how are you?") if you have to be around the person on a regular basis, and don't bother getting into the highly-debatable topics. Even if you know this person has stupid opinions on controversial topics and you just want to "get him," avoid the temptation. It's not worth it -- not for you or your blood pressure. If a person is acting exceptionally dumb, then chances are, being nice to that person may be the last thing on your mind. Which is precisely why you should act as nice as possible. If you're as nice as possible, then the behavior will disarm and possibly confuse the dumb person, leaving him or her with little to do but be nice back and to stop being so darn stupid. If you're rude, condescending, or even mean, then that will encourage the person to continue to be as dumb as possible. Just grit your teeth and be nice, no matter how much it hurts, and the dumb person will start to annoy you much less. Remember that it's much easier to be kind and polite than to be mean and nasty. Being mean is bad for your spirit and stress levels, and you're doing your own mental well-being a favor by being as nice as much as you can. This is related to avoiding controversial topics. If the dumb person happens to bring up a controversial topic and proceeds to share his particularly dumb opinion on the matter, resist the urge to jump in and prove that person wrong. Be polite, say something like, "You're entitled to your opinion," or "How interesting," without mentioning that you completely disagree. Then, change the topic or excuse yourself. There's absolutely no point in engaging in a debate with a dumb person, even if you think it'll make you feel...

Article in English: If you want to discover what makes a place special, make it a point to engage with those who call it home. Get out and live among the people rather than just passively observing them. Your taxi driver or tour guide can tell you things that no map can.  Do your best to appear in control at all times. Making it obvious that you're a tourist in over your head can make you an easy target. Stop and ask someone when you need help or directions instead of relying on your mobile device. Make new friends and have them show you around during your stay for a more intimate and authentic experience of the culture. In many ways, traveling is the ultimate teacher. You have a rare chance to dive in headfirst and see so many new and astonishing things firsthand, and to learn about what makes life interesting in the process. Capture new sights on camera, or keep a travel journal to record the details of your adventures. Take advantage of this chance to enrich yourself.  Take part in local cultural events like the Mardi Gras in French New Orleans, Germany's Oktoberfest or the Songkran Water Festival in Thailand. A stacked itinerary will not only keep you busy but allow you to get better acquainted with unique character of a given culture. Traveling is every bit as much about doing and feeling as it is witnessing. Go hang-gliding in the Alps or sign up for salsa lessons in Brazil. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and experience everything a culture has to offer, from its history and politics to its charming and unusual quirks.  Write down a list of specific things you want to see and do, or challenge yourself to try one new thing every day. It’s normal to feel like you’re in over your head at first. This can be a very good thing, as it means you’re able to recognize and appreciate cultural disparities. If you wanted to be completely comfortable at all times, you could just as easily stay home. There are many times when traveling can become a source of frustration, especially when you’re lost somewhere halfway around the...

Article in English: If you want to discuss your concerns about a person's possible drug use, it is best to approach them when they are sober and thinking clearly. Someone who is high on marijuana may have trouble communicating with you or following what you are trying to say. It's best to catch the person when they're in a relatively calm mood. If they've had a rough week, or the two of you have been fighting all day, it's probably better to hold off until the person is in a more positive state of mind. Attempting to talk when the person is in a bad mood can make them more defensive, which means the conversation probably won't be very productive. Depending on the type of relationship you have with the person, you may be able to ask up-front if they are using marijuana. Keep your approach simple, straightforward, and non-judgmental. For example, you might say, “Hey, you've been acting different lately, and I noticed a funny smell in your room. Have you been smoking marijuana?” If the person thinks you are angry at them or judging them, they are less likely to open up to you. Make it clear that you are sympathetic and just want to help. For example, when talking to a friend, you might say, “I noticed you've been canceling a lot when we try to make plans, and you always seem so tired when I see you. Are you doing ok? I've been really worried about you!” Panicking or getting angry is usually counterproductive. Talk to the person calmly, without raising your voice, making threats, or being sarcastic. If you approach them in a hostile or fearful way, they will be less likely to open up to you, and the situation may become worse.

Article in English: If you want to dive straight into the most modern technology and start becoming one of the DJs illuminating by the glow of a Macbook on stage, then you're going to need to start with a good pair of CD turntables.  The good news? These are incredibly versatile, useful, and can hold an incredible amount of music. You'll have literally thousands of songs at your fingertips, ready to mash-up beats and verses in crazy combinations, as opposed to being stuck with the crate-full of heavy vinyl you'll have to drag to the club with an old-school set up. The bad news? These are expensive. At the low-end, a single CD turntable can cost up to $700, making an investment for a pair neighboring on the ridiculous. For this reason, many digital DJs prefer to line-in a laptop and play sound files directly, or use Ableton Live. Serato Scratch Live or Traktor Scratch are typical digital DJ packages that allow you to do everything that a vinyl DJ does on his mixer and turntables on your computer. You won't be able to have the same kind of touch available to tactile records, but you can still approximate a lot of the same distinctive sounds and effects, especially if you have a digital turntable or some other way of mixing the sounds manually. There are also devices called DJ controllers, which are almost exactly like video game controllers (in that you use them to plug into your computer, basically). They don't actually play music in and of themselves, but you can use them to simulate the action of mixing on real turntables, but while playing MP3s or other sound files from your computer set-up. At the most basic, being a digital DJ might mean hooking your computer up to a set of good-quality speakers and pushing play on your pre-mixed set lists. It's not the most fun way of playing a DJ set, because it doesn't allow you to read the crowd or acquire any of the skills and touches that an analog DJ has, but it's a popular option, increasingly. Regardless of what kind of turntables you're using, if you want to use any kind of...

Article in English: If you want to download music that's playing in the background of a website or music from a video that auto-plays upon opening a website, you may be able to use this method to find and download the music file. If the music file you want to download is protected (as in the case of sites like SoundCloud), you won't be able to use your browser's source code. Try using 4K Video Downloader or Audacity if so. Open the website from which you want to extract the audio, and make sure that the website is fully loaded and the audio is playing before proceeding. This step will vary slightly depending on your browser:   Google Chrome — Click ⋮ in the upper-right corner of the window, select More tools, and click Developer tools.  Firefox — Click ☰ in the top-right corner of the window, click Web Developer in the drop-down menu, and click Inspector.  Microsoft Edge — Click ⋯ in the upper-right corner of the window, then click Developer Tools in the drop-down menu.  Safari — Enable the Develop menu item if necessary, then click Develop in the menu bar and click Show Page Source in the resulting drop-down menu. You'll need to do this at the top of the Developer window on both Chrome and Edge. Skip this step on Safari and Firefox. Click anywhere in the Developer window, then press Ctrl+F (Windows) or ⌘ Command+F (Mac) to do so.

If you don't get any results for .mp3, try a different audio tag. You can also try a video tag such as MP4. If you still don't get results, the song is most likely hidden behind an embedded player or encrypted.

Article in English: If you want to dress like a tomboy, you’ll at least need to check out the source. Head to the boys section of your favorite stores and peruse the racks.  Look for graphic tees and distressed shirts. More likely than not, the clothes will be a bit baggy on you but that’s not a bad thing. Pick out things you like and try them on. If they are absolutely humongous, you can always try  altering them. Other great stores that have unisex options include Reebok, Hot Topic, and Tillys. Look for clothes that can be worn by both girls and guys. Loose, comfortable t-shirts are one of the most basic aspects of tomboy style. Cotton shirts in boyish colors (forest green, navy, grey, black, brown, maroon, etc.) are always great to have on hand--and go with pretty much every outfit. You should also buy some stylized tees. Shirts with band names, skater themes, and skulls (among other styles) are all considered tomboyish clothes. You can also look for shirts with sarcastic or funny images or phrases on them. While you don’t have to ditch skirts entirely, tomboys are pretty much defined by not wearing skirts or dresses. Instead, wear cool, comfortable pants that have a boyish look. Stores like Gap sell ‘Boyfriend’ pants that are cut like boys’ pants but are fitted for a girl’s body. Skinny skater pants, distressed or boot-cut jeans, and athletic pants are all good options for a girl wanting to dress like a tomboy. Black, opaque leggings are also great tomboy apparel. If you do have to wear a skirt for whatever reason, pair it with some leggings, some Converse, and a t-shirt with your favorite band’s logo. These additions will play down the girliness of the skirt. Instead of tiny Daisy Duke shorts, try rocking some loose distressed jean shorts or longer shorts that go to just above your knees. Shorts that are made of a stretchier or more athletic material (like board shorts) are great for running around. Plaid is a unisex fabric that is a great addition to most outfits. It is an awesome material because it can be worn as a shirt...

Article in English: If you want to drink responsibly, then the first thing you should do is avoid drinking alone, or drinking with people you don't really know or trust all that well. If you're out on your own and have no one looking out for you, you can get in all kinds of trouble without anyone even knowing something's wrong. Whether you're heading to a party or out to the bars, always make sure to drink with a group of people you like and trust.  Don't drink with people who encourage binge drinking or look down on you for not drinking, or for not "keeping up" and drinking a lot. You should be comfortable to drink at your own pace. Don't go out with people who have a reputation for running off to hook up with someone they meet at a bar or just disappearing in the middle of the night. Make sure you go with people you can rely on. When you go out with friends, at least one of them should be a person who knows her own limit, or even who doesn't drink very much, and will be willing to watch out for you and to tell you when it looks like you've had enough. Sometimes, you could be drinking way over your limit while being too stubborn to admit it, and this friend can let you know when it's time to switch to water.  This friend can tell you when you've had enough, keep you from driving, and be prepared to take you home if you're having a rough night. Don't abuse the "buddy system" -- if you're always that girl, no one will want to go out with you. You should be able to look out for your friend while she looks out for you. Before all else, know yourself and your own limits. It doesn't take long to learn how little or how much alcohol you can tolerate and everybody is unique in its ability to tolerate alcohol. Listen to your body and respond in a way that nurtures it rather than abuses it. The first time you drink, you should drink with close friends in the comfort of your own home or their homes, so that you don't get socially overwhelmed. This will help you get a sense of what you can and can not handle.  You can set your limits very...

Article in English: If you want to drink subtly, try to conceal your alcohol in other containers. Pour beer into a soda container. Mix liquor into half a bottle of soda or juice. Pour alcohol into a paper fast food restaurant cup. Pour clear liquor into a mouthwash container. Many online retailers, such as Amazon, sell flasks specifically made to help you conceal alcohol. Prices vary depending on the type of flask you get.  Most flasks are hidden in clothing. They may strap under a tie or bra or can be secured up your sleeve.  Other flasks are disguised as bags or purses. If you want to drink at an event that forbids alcohol, these devices could come in handy. The styrofoam, plastic, or paper coffee cups given out at coffee shops are great for concealing alcohol. Save a cup the next time you get coffee out.  If the coffee cup is Styrofoam or unclear plastic, you can use it to conceal virtually any type of alcohol as the liquid will not be visible through the cup.  A clear plastic cup can still be useful. Red wine looks like coffee and you can also mix a dark liquid, like soda or pomegranate juice, with a liquor of your choice. You can also simply spike your coffee. Vodka produces less smell than many types of alcohol. It is also easier to conceal as it looks like water to a causal observer. You can easily drink vodka out of a water bottle without getting caught. If you want to add alcohol to drinks, there are many ways to creatively spike a beverage that masks the odor. Consider some of these tricks.  Spike your coffee. Coffee has a strong scent that covers the smell of most alcohol. Adding a dash of liquor to a cup of a coffee is unlikely to cause too much smell.  Choose a peppermint flavored drink, like peppermint hot cocoa or tea. Peppermint gives off a strong scent that usually overpowers alcohol.  Around the holiday season, non-alcoholic drinks made with flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, and other strong, earthy scents are easy to spike without getting caught. Much like peppermint, these smells are hard to detect. Be aware of...

Article in English: If you want to drive your boyfriend wild, then you'll have to make an effort to look sexy. This doesn't mean that you should look sexy or dress provocatively all the time, or that you should change your looks just to turn on your man. It does mean that you should try to up the ante a bit with your clothes and make up, and dress and look in a way that makes your boyfriend notice you -- and want to get you alone.   You don't have to wear a ton of makeup. Try creating smoky eyes with dark eyeshadow and mascara, and wear just a bit of lip gloss or lip balm to draw attention to your lips. You can look provocative without looking trashy. Wear flattering clothes that fit you well and show off your best assets. If you want to be really sexy, dress really provocatively from time to time -- or when you know you and your man will be alone. This will be a fun change and will drive your man wild. Get some sexy undergarments. The right thong, lacy bra, or pair of panties can make your man even more turned on. If you want to drive your boyfriend crazy, then you can't just give him what he wants all the time. Instead, you should kiss him for a minute or two, and then pull back, leaving him wanting more. If you're out, touch him provocatively by putting your hand on his thigh or caressing his neck before moving away. If you're alone in the bedroom, drive him wild with your kisses and caresses before removing your clothes.  You can also tease him by saying the right things. Tell him that you know he wants you, but that you're not sure if you're in the mood -- this will drive him wild. Compliment his body and let him know how sexy he is. Then, look down at the floor or distance yourself from him. You can also tease him by caressing your own body. You can say, "This shirt is so tight," or "I can't believe how big my chest looks in this bra," to make him want your body. If you're wearing a thong, lean down so he gets a peek at it. If you're wearing a lacy bra, lean toward him a bit so he gets a look at your cleavage in the bra....

Article in English: If you want to earn a girl's trust back, the very first thing you should do is to apologize sincerely about lying and hurting her. Whether you cheated on her, lied about spending a weekend with your friends in Vegas instead of at your grandmother's, or lied about a significant personal detail, it's inevitable that she's feeling hurt, confused, and like she doesn't know you anymore. Let her know that you understand how difficult you have made things for her, and that you deeply regret what you've done. Take FULL responsibility, show her you know you were wrong. She's not going to go for a half-hearted apology. It needs to be sincere and real.   Don't just say "I'm sorry" because you think it's the right thing to do -- say it because you mean it. If you're not sincere, she'll be able to tell. When you tell her you're sorry, look into her eyes, speak slowly, and face your body toward her so she knows she has all of your attention. You don't have to say that you're sorry a hundred times -- it's about quality, not quantity. Let her know that you understand all of the pain and suffering that you've caused her. If she doesn't think you understand her pain, she won't want to listen to you. Though you shouldn't make this all about you, let her know that you're feeling real pain because of your mistake. You don't have to go in too much graphic detail if you think it'll only hurt her more, but you should be honest about why you told the lie. Maybe you wanted to protect her, maybe you knew that the truth would hurt her, or maybe you were even embarrassed about the truth and wanted to cover it up. Whatever your reason, let her know why you did it -- this will show that you're already maturing and trying to reflect, and that you're not just going to move on without gaining some perspective.  Being honest about why you lied will make her feel like you're more likely to be honest in the future. Letting her know your motives will help her understand your perspective. Know when it's better not to be honest. If you just wanted...

Article in English: If you want to eat the chickpeas fresh, you can pluck off the pods while they are still green and immature. Eat fresh chickpeas like snap beans. The pods only reach a length between 1 and 2 inches (2.5 and 5 cm), and each pod only contains one or three beans. The more popular way to harvest chickpeas is to harvest them once they've matured, as dried chickpeas. To do so, you will need to harvest the entire plant once the leaves wither and turn brown. Place the plant on a flat, warm surface and let the pods air dry naturally in a warm, well-ventilated location. Collect the seeds as the pods split open.  Mature seeds will be very hard. When bitten into, they should barely dent. If the weather is getting damp, bring the harvested plant or pods indoors to finish drying them. Otherwise, mold could develop on the pods and ruin the chickpeas inside. Also note that mice and other rodents may threaten your yield if you allow the plants to dry outdoors. Fresh, unshelled chickpeas can be kept in the refrigerator for one week. Dried, shelled chickpeas should be kept in a cool, dry location and can remain there for up to one year.  Keep dried chickpeas in an airtight container if you intend to store them for more than a few days. Chickpeas can also be frozen, canned, or sprouted.

Summary in Russian:

Соберите свежий урожай. Высушите урожай. Храните нут правильно.


Article in English: If you want to eat your beans fresh, you should pick your beans when the pods are large and full. The pods should not yet show the shape of the beans, because by that stage they have begun to dry out. Harvest the pods by snapping them off at the top; don’t tear them, as this can damage the plant and prevent new pods from sprouting. If you harvest at the right time, your bean plants could continue to produce new pods for several weeks. If you want to dry your shell beans for later use, the process is easy: leave your beans on the plant until they are completely dry. This process usually takes 1-2 months after having reached peak ripeness. You can tell when the beans are totally dry and ready for storage, as they will rattle inside the pods. Fresh beans can be frozen and used later, if you don’t want them fresh but don’t want to dry them. Simply place them in an airtight container and put them in your freezer. They will remain good for 6-9 months after initially being placed in the freezer; thaw them by letting them rise to room temperature.

Article in English: If you want to embody the classical zombie type, go traditional. Be a walking, shuffling zombie who is slow and dumb with dead eyes. No specific type of clothing is needed for this type. Use whatever’s on hand, such as old jeans and t-shirts. Maybe you want to go for a zombie with a special theme, such as zombie princess or ballerina who’s been zombified? Go for a cute identity that’s gone terribly, terribly wrong.  If you want to be extra realistic, use stage blood.  This might be where last year’s costume comes in handy--you could zombify it so long as you don’t mind destroying it in the process. You can also just be an interesting zombie, making a twist on other clothing. Zombies may have been a cheerleader, a pizza delivery guy, or had been on the way to prom. It can be fun to have a couple, family or group of friends dress as zombies. Some costume competitions have this as a category.  Be a zombie pair, such as a zombie bride and groom or maybe a famous couple from history who’ve come back from the dead. Be a zombie family! Mom, dad, sister and brother can all have fun as undead.  Hit up a used clothing store to look for wedding apparel. Have a favorite superhero? Nursery rhyme character? Disney character? Choose a character and turn them into a zombie!  Make sure you’ve got a costume on hand that’ll identify you as your character. You could always do something recognizable, such as simple, reworked Little Red Riding Hood costume. This is a great tactic if your costume is worn, or in bad condition. Since you will likely be fatiguing or distressing your costume (see below) it is better to work with items in less than new condition.

Article in English: If you want to enrich your life, then you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone. You should take risks that challenge you and demand you to step up your game instead of doing the same old thing day after day. This can mean anything from asking the cute girl in your class out on a date to applying for your dream job even if you’re not sure you can handle it. Just making an effort to try new things and do things that make you feel less than safe can help you live a more enriching life.  Fail. If you never take risks because you do not want to deal with the disappointment, then you will also never be able to enrich your life. Sure, it is safe to stay at your perfectly fine job, but if you do not take a risk and apply for your dream position, then your life will also be just perfectly fine. (Of course, this does not mean make reckless or irresponsible choices) Conquer your fears. Whether you are afraid of water, heights, or new people, making an effort to see that there’s nothing to be so scared about can make you feel more confident and capable. You never know who can have a positive impact on your life and make you feel more capable and courageous. If you never make an effort to get to know new people and to learn from them, then you won’t be able to grow as a person. Step out of your comfort zone and take steps to meet new people, whether they are new in your school or office or if you just notice someone reading your favorite book in a coffee shop. You’ll never know how much value a new connection can have for you and your life.  Of course, not every new person will be compatible with you and talking to new people can lead to some awkward conversations; however, the more you get into the habit of introducing yourself to new people, the more likely you are to meet people who are exciting and interesting. Making an effort to meet new people will also make you a person who knows that he always has more to learn from life, instead of sticking with the same five people he already knows in his comfort...

Article in English: If you want to establish a friendship, you need to ask questions. Showing interest in what she's passionate about will quickly bond the two of you. Believe in the power of random questions in getting to know her.  Ask how she would describe herself. It's a quick way to learn about her personality. It may be a bit of a shortcut, but she'll get to describe herself honestly. Figure out what she's proud of. Positive questions will get her to talk about her accomplishments, traits, and skills. Ask questions revolving around "favorites," such as movies, TV shows, or musicians. You may have common interests, and this will create an immediate bond. Ask her opinions about things your passionate about. If she knows you're into something and you want to know what she thinks about it, she'll know you value her opinion. While you may find this girl attractive, you're trying to become friends, not hit on her. Avoid complimenting her looks, as this can make the situation uncomfortable, especially if she has a boyfriend. Instead, tell her something specific about her personality that you appreciate.  Women want to be appreciated for what they do or who they are, not what they look like. If you've heard her speak publicly and enjoyed it, tell her so. Speak in specifics about something positive that you've observed about her character. Above all, a compliment should be sincere. Don't pull something from a movie or a website. Observe something that you admire about her and share this admiration. Women like compliments, but you need to respect their personal space. Don't overdo it with the praise, as it may seem desperate or put on. There are many different ways to express love to another person. When starting a friendship, you'll want to express love in a friendly way. Doing an act of service works well in bonding an individual to you.  These acts of service can range from cooking her a meal to picking her up from an appointment. People often need help, so extending favors to her shouldn't be too difficult. Remember that...

Summary in Russian:

Узнайте о ее интересах. Похвалите ее характер. Помогайте ей. Смешите ее. Придумайте шутки, понятные лишь вам двоим.


Article in English: If you want to ever really forgive the person who wronged you, then you have to kick all of those bitter and resentful feelings to the curb. Let go of the part of you that hates the other person or wishes him or her harm or failure; if you hang on to these negative feelings, then they will plague your own life and make it hard for you to find happiness, so the sooner you see that letting go of your resentment is the right thing to do, the better.  Sure, the person really hurt you, but if you waste energy in resenting the person, then you’ll only be letting that person cause you even more harm. Take the higher ground and let go of those nasty feelings. It’s better if you admit that you’re feeling resentment first instead of being in denial about it. Talk about your feelings to a friend. Write them down. Do what you have to do to get them out there so you can get rid of them faster. In the moment, you may feel that the person absolutely ruined your life or made you feel absolutely miserable. Okay, so maybe one of your friends forgot to invite you to her party; maybe your significant other said something hurtful to you in the heat of the moment. Could they have done something a lot worse? Will whatever they did really cause you pain in another few weeks – or in another few months? Chances are that sure, you’ve been hurt, but that it’s not the end of the world.  It may feel like the end of the world, just then. But if you give yourself time to cool off, you’ll see that it’s not so. Take a step back and look at your life. Filled with mostly good things, right? Was the thing the person did to you really bad enough to put all of that in jeopardy? Think of yourself as a student instead of a victim. It’s convenient, and even safe, to think of yourself as a victim when someone has wronged you, but instead, try to put a positive spin on the situation and see if there’s something that you can really learn from the experience. Maybe you’ll learn not to be so trusting. Maybe you’ll learn not to get into a situation where...

Article in English: If you want to evolve a Pikachu, you will need to catch more Pikachus. You will go back to your list of Pokémon.  Look for Pokémon, which will pop up on your screen. They will look like small, dinosaur-ish animals that will appear on your screen relatively near to you. You may need to walk closer to the Pokémon before you can click on it. Your phone will open a screen that looks like a camera to the outside world with the Pokémon inserted into the camera frame. Using your thumb or forefinger, “throw” the ball toward the wild Pokémon you want to catch. Press the ball, move your finger toward the Pokémon, and release. Sometimes the wild Pokémon move or your aim is not quite right. Try throwing the ball farther if you miss the first time. If you catch a wild Spearow, for example, you earn Spearow Candy. You will typically get 5-10 Candies the first time you catch a new species, and 3-5 Candies for every duplicate catch. There is no way to control which wild Pokémon will come to you, so you may need to wait a while until you’ve captured enough of a particular Pokémon to evolve that Pokémon.

Article in English: If you want to expand your influence, it's important to spend time focusing on the people who matter the most. Whether you're in a position of authority or you're low on the totem pole, pick out the people who'll be able to help you make a difference, or the people who'll be the most likely to go along with you and your ideas. Don't waste time and energy on people who don't matter. It's not your job to influence every single person in your life. If your coworker has no authority over you, won't collaborate, and irritates you, ignore them. Truth-telling and influence go hand-in-hand. Make it your goal to be as honest as possible with people you want to influence. If you don't like an idea your employee brings you, be honest and say so as kindly as possible. Don't withhold uncomfortable truths, make it your goal to stay truthful and people will respect you. Bluntness can be a turnoff in some cases, or it can be refreshing and influential. Still, it's important to exercise tact and pay close attention to the fine line between hurting someone's feelings and being honest. When you're interacting with people one-on-one, practice building rapport with people and instilling trust and confidence. Good conversational skills are more than just saying the right thing. To build rapport, make sure you:  Maintain personal space and distance Look others in the eye Breathe slowly and maintain an even tone of voice Match your diction to others If you've guessed what someone's going to say before they say it, you'll be able to influence much easier. Work on organizing your thoughts and thinking about what you have to say ahead of time, so you don't have to think and speak on the fly. Anticipate other peoples' reactions and responses to think of what you're going to say before you say it. Negotiation and arbitration is a very important part of being influential. Working together to build the best possible ideas helps to give others the sense that you're willing to listen. Make sure that you take multiple perspectives into...

Article in English: If you want to find fulfilling work, you need to take the first step into the world or uncertainty. Try not to over-think things and drive yourself to the point of anxiety. Instead, take a deep breath and plunge right in. “Thinking” is one thing, but “doing” is an entirely different beast. If you really want to find fulfilling work, you need to reach a point at which you choose to progress from thought to action. You might have a specific job in mind, but if you're like most people, you will start the process with a general goal in mind instead of a specific position. As such, you need to figure out the steps you need to take to achieve that goal as effectively as possible.  Research ideas.

Article in English: If you want to freeze just the leaves, you will need to pinch them off, and discard the stems. You can also freeze the cilantro whole, and break off a few leaves whenever you need them. This will protect the delicate herb from the cold and keep it from going mushy. Simply place the herb into a bowl and toss it with a teaspoon to a tablespoon of olive oil. How much olive oil you use will depend on how much cilantro you are freezing; the more cilantro you have, the more oil you will need. Try to keep the cilantro spread out evenly in the bag. If you are using whole cilantro, try to keep the stems and leaves as straight as possible. You may need to use more than one bag. If you do not have any freezer bags, use regular re-sealable bags instead, one inside the other. Zip the bag close part way, then gently press down on the bag with your hands until it is flat. Close the bag the rest of the way. Be careful not to crush the cilantro. If you are storing other types of herbs in the freezer, it might be a good idea to write down "Cilantro" on the bag as well. Try to place it so that the herbs are laying down flat and straight.

Article in English: If you want to gain any length on your hair, don't cut it. Trim it 1/8th inch to even out the ends but that's all. A curling iron is one of the most damaging instruments used on African American hair types. When a curling iron is used on your hair, the barrel cover clamps down on your hair causing a weak point.  With repeated use the hair shafts eventually break along these areas made weak by the curling iron. If you want longer hair, it is imperative that you stop using a curling iron to style your hair. Curling irons make hair, weak, dry and very thin. Instead try using curlers or keeping your ends evenly trimmed and simply wearing your hair down.

Article in English: If you want to gain weight, go here for a discussion of how to do so in a healthy way. Doctors generally agree that other factors are more responsible for weight gain or weight loss than your metabolism. These factors include:  How many calories you consume daily. How much and how intensely you exercise. Your genetics and family history. The medications you may be taking. Other unhealthy habits such as not getting enough sleep. Slowing your metabolism can involve some pretty unpleasant things: skipping meals, eating few calories, etc. Proper, medically-sound weight gain often involves:  Increasing caloric intake. Eating more calories than your body burns in a day. Addressing any underlying medical issue that might be causing you to lose weight, e.g. thyroid issues, diabetes, anorexia nervosa. If you want to decrease your metabolic rate, start skipping meals. This is not a healthy way to lower your metabolism, but it's effective. Skipping meals causes the body to think that it might have to start preparing for famine, causing it to lower its metabolism in an effort to save energy. When you give your body fewer calories, it compensates by lowering your overall metabolic rate. And it makes sense: with fewer overall calories to work with, your body can't expect to use the same amount of energy that it can when it's getting more calories.  Note: When you give your body fewer calories, it might start burning muscles or body tissue in order to compensate for the lack of calories it's getting. If you are already skinny, this isn't a good method for weight gain. Every time you sleep, your metabolic rate dips and then remains suppressed for a period after you awaken. Studies show that sugars and fruit are digested and absorbed more rapidly than complex carbohydrates, such as bread, producing a rollercoaster of blood sugar with high peaks and low troughs.  It has also been shown that the total carbohydrate oxidation over a six-hour period is lower with complex carbohydrates (bread and maize starch) than with sugars. ...

Article in English: If you want to gauge how interested your man is in marriage, try bringing up your plans for the future. For instance, you might talk about where you'd like to live, whether or not you'd like to have children, or what type of career you'd like to eventually have. Casually mention him as part of the plans, then pay attention to his reaction.  For example, you might say something like, "I'd love for us to take a trip to Europe together one day." That will let him know he's included in your dreams. If he says something like, "I'd really love that!" then he may be thinking of a future together, too. If his answer is non-committal, like "Yeah, maybe," he may not be as invested as you are. Seeing other people in a happy, committed relationship might just get him thinking about popping the question, too.If either of you have friends who are great examples of a healthy, strong marriage, try to make plans with them whenever you can.  For instance, you might have cook-outs, plan fun double-dates to movies or restaurants, or even go on a trip together Attending a wedding together can be another way to get marriage on his mind. If you really want him to know that you're hoping to be engaged soon, pick up a magazine or catalog featuring engagement rings. Then, casually browse through it when he's around, and show him a few of the ones you really love.   Not only will this let him know you're thinking of marriage, but it will help him know what your tastes are. For instance, he might be imagining a classic ring with a large diamond, while you might prefer a non-traditional gemstone or an unusual design. Try not to show him rings that are way out of his price range. If he thinks your tastes are more expensive than he can meet, he might be hesitant to buy a ring at all.

Article in English: If you want to get a feel for what the life of the introvert is like, explore hobbies that require you to be alone to pursue them, or are greatly improved by the solitary experience. Introverted hobbies might include things like:  Gardening Reading and writing creatively Painting Golf or Mini-Golf Playing an instrument Hiking If you want to take a little step toward creating a more introverted space for yourself, try staying in next Friday night, instead of going out. Introverts are often exhausted by social interactions, much preferring to spend an evening relaxing with a good book than by hitting the town or heading to a party. If you want to see whether this agrees with you, try it out. Do you ever secretly hope your friends will cancel plans, so you can stay in and catch up on Netflix? Do you sometimes regret saying yes to party invites? These are good indications of introversion. Introverts aren't the chattiest people in the room. To behave in a more introverted way, try remaining mostly silent in your next group interaction, letting others talk more than you do. Ask questions to get others talking, but try to keep things focused on others and less on yourself.  Speaking less doesn't mean disengaging entirely. Practice listening more than you speak, and reflect before you respond to others statements to stay engaged in things without constantly talking. Are you ever embarrassed when a group's attention shifts to you? This is a good indication of introversion. If you secretly love the spotlight, that's more of an extroverted trait. Introverts aren't isolated loners who are unable to communicate with people, they're just exhausted by the work of socializing, and prefer solo reflection. It's much more common for introverts to enjoy having deep, meaningful conversations with friends one-on-one, instead of going out with a big group.  If you're not a big fan of parties, it's still good to try to make an effort at keeping up your friendships with regular one-on-one hangouts, to avoid seeming distant or cold....

Article in English: If you want to get a girl's attention, then you have to make it look like you actually want her to come up to you. This may seem obvious, but you'll be surprised by how unapproachable you may look just because you're nervous about talking to the girl. If you want her to like you, then you can't act like you're too busy, too cool, or too distracted to talk to the girl. If she comes up to you, put away your phone, stop looking around, and give her your attention. Here are some other ways to be approachable:  Smile at the girl if she walks over to you or passes you. Use open body posturing; don't stand around with your arms crossed. Be aware of your resting facial expressions; don't scowl or glare at her or anyone else. Don't fidget or look down at the floor. If you're worried about approaching a girl no matter what you look like, then you may lack some confidence when it comes to your looks. That's okay: most guys doubt their appearance now and again. However, if you want to get the girl, you don't have to be the most handsome guy in the room, but you should act like you're happy with how you look. If you're not pleased with your appearance and don't carry yourself confidently, the girl will be able to tell, and she'll be less likely to talk to you. Here's how you do it:  Stand tall when you walk up to her. Look her in the eye. Remind yourself that you are worthy of her attention. Avoid making fun of yourself or putting yourself down too much. If you're trying to be someone else, your love interest will never have a chance to like you because she will never know who you really are. Though you can work on self-improvement and on being more appealing to girls, you shouldn't have to change your entire personality to get a girl's attention. If you're being dishonest or not being yourself at all, the girl will be able to tell and she won't be impressed. Remember that, at the end, the girl has to like you for who you really are. When you meet a new girl, yeah, the goal is for her to like the person who you really...
