Before you’ll be able to take your cat outside, you’ll first need to get it accustomed to wearing its harness.  Start by putting your cat in its harness for short periods of time every day for several days. Initially, put the harness on for just a few minutes, then increase the length of time each day for several days.  Give your cat treats and lots of praise while putting on the harness and while your cat walks around wearing the harness.  You want your cat to eventually feel comfortable moving around the house in its harness, ideally to the point that it doesn’t pay any mind to the harness. Once your cat has become comfortable with its harness, begin attaching the leash to the harness. At first, allow the leash to trail behind your cat. Encourage the cat to walk around with the leash attached by offering treats and lots of praise. Once your cat has become comfortable having the leash trail behind it, pick up the leash and again encourage your cat to walk around--this time with you holding the leash. Offer your cat its favorite treats and lots of praise as it begins to walk around. Try not to yank or drag the cat along as you go--let the cat move about of its own volition.

Begin assembling your reed diffuser by finding a suitable base container for the reeds. Look for a container that is about five to ten inches tall with a small opening made of ceramic, glass, stainless steel, earthenware or wood. Do not use a plastic container, as essential oils can react with plastic.  A small opening at the top of the container ensures that minimal evaporation occurs. If too much water evaporates, the percentage of essential oil becomes higher, and the scent can become overpowering. If you have a jar with a cork top, you can also drill a hole in the cork. This is one of the best options for minimal evaporation. You can get creative by matching your diffuser container to the colors of your room or even decorating the outside of the container. Craft stores often have cheap glass bottles and vases in a variety of sizes. Purchase rattan reeds meant for oil diffusal, either online or in specialty health stores. Use new reed diffusers, as old reeds lose their effectiveness once they are over-saturated with oil.   The reeds must be tall enough to stand well above the vase or bottle you chose. The reeds should stick out several inches or centimeters from the top of the container. Increase the scenting ability of the diffuser by using reeds that are double the height of the bottle or more. Ready-made reeds are usually sold in 10-, 12- and 15-inch (25-, 30- and 38 cm) lengths. You can also use bamboo skewers, but rattan reed sticks tend to disperse scent more effectively. Pick your favorites. Make sure the oils are of a 100% concentration, or else they will not have a strong enough scent. You can use just one oil, or pair two or more oils whose scents complement one another.  Some classic essential oil pairings are lavender and peppermint, orange and vanilla, spearmint and patchouli, and chamomile and lavender. Lavender, jasmine, neroli and geranium are calming scents. Peppermint, rosemary, tea tree, lemon, basil, and ginger are energizing scents. Chamomile, orange, sandalwood, lavender, and marjoram...

Begin by brushing your hair thoroughly. Knots and tangles make braiding a lot harder than it should be. Since the side braid look is asymmetrical and on the side of your head, part it to 1 side. It does not matter if it's the right or the left. The braid is not going to be straight down the back of your head. If you’re going for a romantic look, allow the part to be messy. If you want to go for something more fun, try a zig-zag part.

Begin by centering a 5 foot (1.5 m) stick near the top of a 6 to 8 foot (1.8 to 2.4 m) stick, rake handle or garden pole. This creates the shoulders of the scarecrow. Fasten the shorter stick in place using a screwdriver and screw, some twine, or hot glue. Dress your scarecrow with an old plaid shirt, using the horizontal stick for his arms. Button the shirt up the front, then tie the arm ends and bottom of the shirt using twine or wire. Strategically stuff the shirt to fill out your scarecrow. Straw, hay, leaves, grass clippings, wood chips and rags are all acceptable stuffing materials.  Try to avoid using newspaper to stuff your scarecrow, however, as rainfall may cause it to become soggy and shapeless.  Use extra stuffing to give your scarecrow a potbelly if desired. Make a hole in the seat of the overalls for the vertical stick to pass through. Put the overalls on the scarecrow, placing the straps on the shoulders. Tie the cuffs with twine or wire. Fill out the legs of the overalls using the same stuffing as you used for the shirt. Old fashioned scarecrows had straw sticking out the cuffs of the shirt sleeves, but to make a more realistic human form, you can use old work gloves or gardening gloves. Fill the gloves with enough stuffing to keep them in shape, tuck in the ends of the shirt sleeves, then secure with wire or twine. Stick the cuffs of the pants into the tops of some old work boots, or other shoes. Secure using either string sewn into each component, or hot melt glue.  Alternatively, try using double sided tape, such as carpet tape, to attach the boots. Whatever method you use, make sure the attachment is secure, or your scarecrow will lose his feet.

Begin by dealing 1 card face down to the player to your left and continuing around the table dealing cards 1 at a time until every player has 5 cards. This is a game in which players are dealt a full hand which remains hidden and is improved by replacing cards. Mark these with a chip or another item so that they are distinguishable from other cards. At this point, players should be holding the cards in their hands, being careful not to show them to other players. Players can discard as many cards as they like and replace them by drawing the same number of cards from the deck in the middle of the table. Each player should ultimately have 5 cards. If you played blinds, where only the two players to your left paid money before you dealt the cards, betting should begin from the player immediately to your left. This is the showdown. The player with the best 5-card hand wins the pot.

Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small skillet, then add 5 cloves of minced garlic. Stir, and fry the two together for 1 minute. Remove the garlic when it becomes golden, but don't like it become too brown. Make sure that the bowl is large enough to fit the rest of your ingredients. You will eventually be mixing everything in this bowl. For a more unique and colorful bruschetta topping, use 1 pint of red grade tomatoes, and 1 pint of yellow grape tomatoes. Take a few basic leaves and stack them. Next, roll them up like a burrito and cinnamon bun. Use a sharp knife to cut the basil into thin, narrow slices. Repeat this step until you have used up all your basil leaves. For a more flavorful bruschetta, add 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese. This will give the tomatoes enough time to absorb all the flavors. Make sure that you are spreading it on the oily side; the oil will help keep the bread from getting too soggy.  You can also serve the mixture in a bowl with a spoon. This way, your guests can pick up how much they want.

Begin by marking a point where you want to place your new angle. Label the point M. Align your straight edge with that point and draw a straight line that begins at M and extends as long as you want it to be. Place an arrow point at the end of the line you drew and label it N. You have just drawn Ray MN. This will be the base of the angle you construct. You will need to mark an arc on the original angle. The size of the arc does not matter. Choose a setting that is comfortable for you to work with. When you use the compass, you need to be careful that the arc length you set does not slip. With some advanced compasses, you can use a screw setting to lock in the size. With cheaper compasses, you just need to be careful not to apply too much pressure, or the compass might slip.  Set the point of the compass at point B, the vertex of the original angle, and draw an arc that crosses both Ray BA and Ray BC. You do not need to draw an entire circle. For reference, mark the points where the arc crosses the rays as points X and Y. Being careful not to let the compass setting slip, move the compass and set the point on point M. Draw an arc that crosses Ray MN and extends about as long as the one you drew over Angle ABC. For reference, label Point F where the arc crosses Ray MN. Pick up the compass and set the point down on Point X. Adjust the width of the compass so the pencil point is on Point Y. Draw a small arc that passes through Y. Without adjusting the size of the compass width, place the tip of the compass on Point F. Draw a new arc, with Point F as the center. This arc should cross the one that you previously drew. Label the point where the two arcs intersect Point G. Set your straight edge to align with Points M and G. Use a pencil or marker to draw a ray that begins at M and passes through G. Place an arrow point on the end of this ray, and label it Ray ML. You should have an exact copy of the original Angle ABC. Your new angle is Angle LMN. If the copied angle does not appear to be exactly congruent to the...

Begin by melting 1 tbsp (15 grams) of butter in a small saucepan. You will know the butter is heated when you can sprinkle a pinch of flour over it and the mixture slowly starts to bubble. You can substitute oil for the butter to make it a dairy-free option. Keep the mixture over medium heat. Whisk it constantly while the flour begins to bubble. As the flour and butter cook, they will become smooth and start to thin. Roux does not take long to prepare. It is done when the flour loses its raw smell, and it becomes a thin, white paste.  Use roux to thicken milk-based sauces, such as cheese sauce for macaroni and cheese. You can let the roux cook longer to get a blond, brown, or dark brown roux, but these are commonly used to thicken soups and chowders, not sauces. Whisk the mixture vigorously. Cool your hot roux in the fridge or let it sit out on the counter until it reaches room temperature.  Hot roux can be added to cold or warm sauces right away. Do not add hot roux to a hot liquid, as it will create lumps that can not be removed unless you use a strainer. Turn the stove heat up to high and allow your sauce to come to a boil. The mixture will only take about 1 minute to begin thickening. Keep your sauce at a boil until it has reached your desired thickness. Place your roux in the refrigerator to let it cool overnight or until it has hardened.  Keep any leftover roux in an airtight container and freeze it or refrigerate it for up to a month.  Roux made with oil can be stored at room temperature for 2-4 weeks.

Begin by smiling at the person. Smiling makes you feel happier and more confident. It can make it easier to walk up to someone to start a conversation. Plus, when you smile, the person you're smiling at automatically wants to smile back.  Then, introduce yourself by saying "Hello" and giving your name.  Start with, "Hello, I'm Jessica. What's your name?" Bring up a topic to begin the conversation. In a conversation, both you and the person you're talking to need a chance to say something. You're exchanging information to learn about each other. For example, you could ask them about their favorite singer or what their favorite color is.  You could also start a conversation about what's going on around you. For instance, if you're in math class, you could say, "Is there a lot of homework this year?" If you're at lunch, you could say, "So what's your favorite food?" Smiling at people is a good way to show people you're open to friendship. You don't always need to be the person who says "Hello." Sometimes, other people will come up to you if you look approachable. Approachable just means you look like someone nice that another person could have a conversation with.  In other words, try not to cross your arms or look angry if you want someone to approach. Try to look happy and interested in other people. If someone comes up to say "hello," ask her to sit next to you. You could say, "I'm so glad you came over! Would you like to sit next to me?" When you're meeting someone new, you have to be able to hold a conversation. That means you need to both ask questions about the other person and answer their questions in return. It's a way of getting to know one another. It involves both giving to the conversation and actively listening to what the person has to say.  You could ask them, "What's your favorite food?" If they say, "Pizza!" you could say, "Pizza is my favorite, too! We made it at home last week." That way, you're offering something about yourself (what your favorite food is), as well as offering them...

Begin by visiting http://www.aaa.com. The AAA is actually made up of many organizations, serving different areas. However, you can reach any of these regional organizations by visiting this website.  Note: start with this step even if you plan to apply for membership in person, not online. The AAA website may automatically detect the general area you are located in, and send you to the correct web page for your area. If it does not, it will likely display a popup box and prompt you to enter your zip code. If you do not know your zip code, you may look it up by entering your address at the US Postal Service website. Some local AAA organizations display their regional address prominently on the front page of their website, which you were just directed to. If you do not see one, or if the address is not nearby, look for a "Find another office" link, or "Find a local branch," or similar. Click this link to be taken to a map or a list of all AAA offices in your region, including their phone numbers and hours of operation. Try using your browser's Find command and enter "Office" or "Branch." This is typically available with the Ctrl+F key combination in a Windows operating system, or command+F on a Mac. Optionally, call the listed phone number and ask for information on membership plans. Your local office may or may not be able to register you as a member over the phone. Almost any AAA office should be able to register you in person, as long as you bring your driver's license and a method of payment. To save time before you show up, know what type of vehicles you operate, and whether other members of your household wish to apply as well. There are dozens of regional websites, organized in many different layouts. Somewhere on the homepage, however, there should be a button or text link labeled Join Now or Join AAA. When you click Join, you will likely be taken to a chart comparing the benefits of different membership plans. The details of these vary between regional organizations, but the benefits are typically laid...

Begin creating your itinerary two weeks in advance for the best deals if you plan to purchase tickets to shows, tours, or anything else that requires a ticket for entry. Having a balance between leisure and structure will allow you to get the most out of your trip, and planning ahead will relieve some of the stress. Visit the Las Vegas website for a complete catalog of the shows that will be going on during your stay. Las Vegas is famous for their many entertaining performances, and your trip would not be complete without seeing at least one.  Magic shows are a great way to spend a family friendly night in Las Vegas. Some of the most popular ongoing shows in Las Vegas are the Cirque du Soleil, Penn and Teller at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino, Absinthe at Caesars Palace, or the Blue Man Group at the Luxor.  Tickets to one of these shows will range from 20 dollars to 100 dollars. Through TripAdvisor you can avoid cover charges at clubs and bars by purchasing a pass for roughly 800 dollars. This pass will grant you free access to nearly fifty of Las Vegas’ most popular bars, night clubs, pool parties, and ultra-lounges through the VIP line. As you start to get a feel for Las Vegas, pick one of your favorite casinos and try your hand at gambling by playing a slot machine or playing at a blackjack table. If you are playing cards, it is best to study up on the game before you sit down, as you may lose your money fast if you do not know what you are doing.  If you are gambling, do not purchase drinks from the bar. A waitress will approach you and take your order for free. This is how they keep people gambling all night! Some of the most popular and famous casinos include the Bellagio, the Venetian-Palazzo, and Caesars Palace. The best way to go home from Las Vegas with some money left is to set a limit for yourself when gambling. When you go out to the casinos at night, bring only the cash you are willing to spend, and do not take out any more cash once your money is gone. Setting a budget and sticking to it...

Begin eating foods that are only slightly spicier than what you are currently accustomed. For example, add more black pepper to your meal than you normally would, or garnish something with a few sprinklings of red pepper flakes. There are hot varieties of candies and other small snacks that can help inject a regular helping of heat into your day. Check your local Latin market for a good selection of spicy candies. Devouring an entire plate of peppers at once will not do you any favors when trying to acclimate to spicier foods. Doing so will more likely turn you off of spicy food altogether. Instead, add just a bit of spice to each meal over a long period of time. Savor the spice to get the full experience of the heat. Be patient. Don’t get discouraged if your palate doesn’t seem to be adjusting to the heat. It can take anywhere from a few weeks to months to get accustomed to the new level of spice. Not all types of heat in food are the same. The heat found in dishes with hot peppers are a much different experience than dishes that are heavy in garlic or wasabi. Education will help you branch out into hotter foods that are appropriate for your level of tolerance.  Some foods, such as garlic and radishes, have a natural spiciness to them that don’t stem from the heat-causing agents of chili peppers. These can be a great gateway into spicier foods, without necessarily packing the physical sensations that dishes featuring hotter substances possess. If you are just starting out, you might start with these foods, as they cannot physically damage your mouth with their oils.  When cooking with peppers, look into each pepper's heat index rating (referred to as the Scoville Scale). Measure which peppers you can handle as a baseline, and move up from there. Go for broke! As you adjust to the level of heat you can tolerate, increase the heat level of your meals. As you do so, you will open up a wide range of food options you might never have considered trying. You can achieve this in a variety of ways.  Increase the...

Begin leaving the cage outside during the day so other sparrows can visit. If you are avoiding close interaction with the bird and it is interacting with wild sparrows, then its chances of re-acclimating to the wild are much better. If the baby bird is not interacting with wild birds then it needs to learn the songs of its species another way. This will allow it to communicate with other birds when it is released. There are audio files available online that you can play for the bird. Let it hop around on the grass after about 7-10 days old. If releasing the bird is your ultimate goal, try putting it in open space areas so they can learn to fly. Instinct will teach the bird to fly and discover what its wings are for.  Wait until it has wing feathers, then if it doesn't seem to know what to do then its probably isn't ready. To test out whether he's ready, take him outside and place him on the ground in an area that's safe from predators. Leave the bird to its own devices for 20 minutes, if nothing happens bring it back indoors and try again another day. If you're going to release it, make sure the baby can eat on its own. You also need to be sure that it is not imprinted on you. If the bird is imprinted on you, then it cannot be released into the wild. It needs to continue as a pet.

Begin overcoming your nerves by planning out what you will say in advance.  You might be anxious about an upcoming meeting with your boss about a project you are working on. Use your time at work wisely and ensure that you have met your deadlines, haven’t missed any details, or overlooked mistakes. Anticipate what questions your boss might ask and be prepared to answer them. You might even ask a coworker to look over your work so they can catch things you’ve missed. When you are nervous, you might find yourself looking down at the floor to avoid eye contact.  But a confident person looks someone in the eye when they are speaking with them.  Maintain your glance, but do not stare blankly. Nod your head, laugh and smile when appropriate. Your nervousness might also cause you to speak very fast or to stutter.  Take a moment to slow down the pace.  Think carefully on what you would like to say and then articulate that.  Remember that you are in no rush to speak and that people will understand you better if you speak at a steady pace.  You might practice doing this by reading aloud to yourself or to others. In addition to speaking slowly, also mindful of the tone of your voice.  Avoid speaking at a much higher pitch, or too quietly or loudly. Instead, use a voice that feels natural to you and noise appropriate for the setting. For instance, if you are at a tea party, you will want to keep your voice down.  But, if you are at a concert, you will need to be much louder. Even if you don’t feel confident, fake it until you make it.  It has been proven that smiling, even when fake, is a mood booster.  Before speaking, flash a quick smile at the person and then proceed. Avoid slouching, dragging your feet, and looking down at the floor.  Instead, use your body to take up space and exude confidence.  Sit straight up, either with your legs uncrossed or with your ankle resting upon your knee.  When standing, stand straight with your feet slightly apart.  Avoid crossing your arms. Give a nice, firm handshake when greeting...

Begin sewing the fabric pieces together along the curved edges that you just pinned together.  Do not sew any of the other edges yet. Remove the pins from the fabric right before you sew over them.  Make sure that your stitches are about ½ of an inch (or 1 ½ cm) away from the edges of the fabric. This will help to create a strong seam. After you have finished sewing, trim off any excess thread from the areas you just sewed.

Begin talking about your daughter’s body as soon as she has questions. This will likely be as soon as she can talk. Have age-appropriate talks spaced out over your daughter’s life, instead of one, big “Period Talk.” You can talk to very young children about their body parts, and what various things are for. Provide more details as she gets older, always checking to make sure your daughter understands the information you’re giving her. Most girls get their period when they’re about 12 or 13, although some girls could get their period when they’re 9 or 10. Once your daughter hits these years, stock up on items for her kit. You don’t want to make a panicked, late-night pharmacy run with your daughter crying in the backseat. Avoid calling your period “the Curse,” or anything similarly terrifying. Your daughter should understand that this is something women experience naturally as they grow up. It’s an exciting sign that she’s growing up. Tell your daughter this definitely isn’t something she should be embarrassed about. Explain that all women and girls get their periods. In fact, because periods are part of becoming a mother, the survival of the human race depends on them! Your daughter will probably have lots of questions for you. Some you’ll know the answers for, and some you won’t. Keep up a comfortable and open tone during this chat, and make sure your daughter knows that no question is a bad one.  Common questions might include, “Why am I the first one of my friends to get my period,” “Can I still go swimming,” “How long does it last,” “Why does it happen,” or “Am I normal?” Tell your daughter when she’s asked a question you don’t have an answer for. Use this as a chance to look for good, reliable answers together. You can go online, search in a book, or call your daughter’s doctor. Don’t just hand your daughter a book or a link to a video and think you’re done. She might not read or watch whatever you give her, and then you’re leaving her totally unprepared.

Begin with a basic flow of your narrative. Focus on the conflict of the story; conflict drives drama. Keep length in mind. When in script format, each page is roughly one minute of screen time. The average length of a two-hour script is 120 pages. Dramas should be around the 2-hour mark, comedies should be shorter, around one and a half hours. The pillars of a screenplay are the Three Acts. Each act can operate independently, and when taken together provide the full arc of a story.  Act One: This is the set-up for the story. Introduce the world and the characters. Set the tone of the story (comedy, action, romance, etc.). Introduce your protagonist, and begin exploring the conflict that will drive the story. Once the protagonist is set towards the objective, then Act Two begins. For dramas, Act One is typically 30 pages. For comedies, 24 pages. Act Two: This act is the main portion of the story. The protagonist will encounter obstacles on the path to the resolution of the conflict. Subplots are typically introduced in the second act. Throughout the second act, the protagonist should be showing signs of change. For dramas, Act Two is typically 60 pages. For comedies, 48 pages. Act Three: In the third act, the story reaches its resolution. The third act contains the twist of the story and ends with the final confrontation of the objective. Because the story has already been established in the second act, the third act is much faster-paced and condensed. For dramas, Act Three is typically 30 pages. For comedies, 24 pages. Sequences are parts of the story that operate somewhat independently from the main conflict. They have a beginning, middle, and end. A typical sequence will be about 10 to 15 pages in length. A sequence tends to focus on a specific character. Scenes are the events of your movie. They take place in specific locations and always serve to drive the story forward. If a scene does not do this, then it should be cut from the script. Scenes that serve no purpose will stick out in the audience’s mind...

Begin with an 18-inch piece of floss.  Wrap it around your two middle fingers leaving a gap of 1 to 2 inches in between.  Then slide the floss between two teeth, and wiggle it up and down and back and forth, several times. Keep in mind that plaque and food can get stuck under the gum line, so this is what you want to target with the floss. Be sure to wrap the floss around each tooth, and floss all the way to your gums, extending as far as you can without causing discomfort.  Then repeat the process on the next tooth, moving to a new section of the floss, as it becomes soiled or frayed. Make sure that once you have placed the floss between two teeth you are flossing two surfaces. Once you have this down, the entire process should only take two or three minutes per day. If you are unsure about your flossing technique, be sure to ask your dentist or hygienist for tips when you are in for your exam. Be sure to brush for at least two minutes per session, and pay special attention to cleaning the gum line.  Any toothbrush will do, but electric toothbrushes are especially effective.  Also be sure to use a toothpaste containing fluoride. Since periodontal disease is a bacterial infection, some dentists also recommend a toothpaste that contains the antibacterial ingredient triclosan, such as Colgate Total). If possible, acquire a dental irrigator such as a Water Pik, Hydro Floss, or similar tool, and use it twice per day.  Although these devices might seem expensive, they are very good at fighting periodontal disease, and are a fraction of the cost of even a single dental cleaning. Dental irrigators last up to several years and they are great for gum massage, getting rid of plaque, or cleaning around dental implants This helps to reduce bacteria in your mouth and prevent further infection.  If your dentist recommended a prescription mouthwash, use that, otherwise an over-the-counter brand will work fine.  Just be sure to read the label and choose using a germ-fighting formula like Listerine or Crest Advanced.  You can...

Begin with the assumption that the child is capable, they mean well, and they are trying hard already. Help them rise to meet your expectations. Optimism can lift the child's spirits, and bring positive results. Even if it doesn't make sense to you, it is fulfilling some sort of purpose for the child, or expressing something. There is a reason; you just don't know it yet. Each person thinks differently, and these differences can be especially profound between autistic and non-autistic people. The child's reasoning may be completely different from what you think it is. " Gaining abilities is not a linear progression, and if a child is stressed or worn out, they might not be able to do things that they otherwise could. If a child is resisting your attempts to make them do something, it might be that they can't do that thing at the moment, or that they don't understand.  For example, instead of "Jamal is angry and won't tell me why. He's so difficult!," you could think "Jamal is angry and can't tell me why. Maybe he's too upset to speak. I'll help him calm down, and then maybe I can figure out what's going on." Sensory input, exhaustion, stress, seizures, anxiety, and more can affect ability levels. For example, perhaps your daughter can usually put her plates in the dishwasher, but after a night of bad sleep and hearing pots clanging in the kitchen, it is too overwhelming one day. This may be frustrating to you, but chances are, it is even worse for the child. Responding kindly can lessen the child's stress, making it easier for them to communicate or do a difficult thing. Remember, positive strategies help more than negative ones. The child will see you as a friend and ally, not a punisher.  Autistic children might not be able to understand why they are being punished, making it completely ineffective.  Be a team. You are not the child's opponent, nor are they the passive object of a project. The child needs to feel that you care about their feelings, that you'll listen to them, and that they can come to you...

Begin with your feet shoulder width apart facing the net. Your dominant arm should be directly in front of you, palm up, with the ball in your palm. You should be at least 5–8 feet (1.5–2.4 m) behind the line to have enough space for a 3-4 step approach. Aim to hit the ball just above the center of the ball. Unlike in a basic overhand serve, don't stop your arm when you hit the ball. Swing all the way through and snap your wrist. If you can't get the snapping motion, practice. This wrist snap is what makes a top-spin serve powerful and unique. Practice perfecting the snap of the wrist along with hitting the ball correctly to send it sailing over the net.

Begin working on emotionally and mentally preparing yourself for a shift in relationship status. Instead of the "forever alone" mentality that sometimes comes along with a break up, think of it as a much-needed rest from the rigors of the relationship you've been fighting for. Try and change the word "single" in your mind into "free" and changing negative thinking into more positive thinking.  Think about the bad parts of the relationship, and how it would feel to live free of those. Make a list of all the possible good things that you can think of about being free from that relationship as well as being free to be you in general. You may feel down or sad about the ending of your relationship, and that's okay. Allow yourself to grieve the end of your time with your partner. Be kind to yourself and remind yourself that you were just not a good fit for each other. Don't let the impending break up cause you to become sorry for yourself or depressed about your life. Love yourself the way you want to be loved, and treat yourself the way you deserve to be treated. " In many societies there seems to be a higher value set to being in a relationship or being married than being on your own. Due to that, and the pressure that comes along with it, people can get into relationships that are not healthy for them, or stay in relationships that don't make them happy. Have high standards, and keep them high. You are worth it!   Ask yourself, "Didn't I feel lonely in this relationship anyway?" Remind yourself that being single or free from this relationship does not mean you are alone. You still have people in your life that are there for the long haul and truly care about your happiness. Create a mental or physical picture (draw, paint, collage, write, etc) of yourself and your life in the near future. Think about how your life would look with no traces of your soon-to-be-ex in it; with you happy and content. Being able to clearly visualize future changes will help give you something to work towards fulfilling while you work...

Begin your path to becoming a monk by understanding the basics about Buddhism. Check out books from the library, do research on line, and if possible, take classes from an instructor who has been ordained as a monk. The Buddha doesn't force anyone to believe, but asks disciples to prove the tenants true based on their own investigation of the religion. Here are the fundamentals you should know:  Study the Eightfold Path, which is the way to the end of all suffering. The path consists of the right understanding, right speech, right intention, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration, right action and right livelihood. Learn the four noble truths, which contain the essence of Buddhism. A simple version of the four noble truths is that suffering exists, it arises from attachment to wants, the condition stops when the attachment to desire stops and freedom from suffering is possible through the Eightfold Path. The Buddhist religion is worldwide and temples exist in almost every country. Practicing Buddhism as a layperson will give you valuable insight into what it's like to be part of a Buddhist community, which is central to becoming a monk. You'll want to become a regular part of the community for months, or even years, before you take the next step to become a monk.  Check your phone book or look online for a Buddhist center near you. Be an active participant of the temple. Some sanghas offer introductory courses where you can learn more about Buddhism. Others schedule retreats to help you grow in your faith. Not all Buddhist communities are alike. Like other types of religious institutions, some are more traditional, while others have changed with modern times. Find a community that fits with your views and is appealing to you. It may also be helpful to visit Buddhist temples in other cities or even other countries to get a well-rounded view of the Buddhist community. Learning from a mentor is a very important first step in becoming a monk. One-on-one instruction allows you to delve deeper into...

Begin your preparations for your new kitten by drawing up a list of all the essentials you need to have ready for the arrival. You can organise this list into toys, food, and litter tray supplies. A new kitten will want to play a lot so it's important that you provide plenty of toys for her. You don't have to buy expensive cat toys. Something as simple as a shoelace can be great fun for a kitten to play with.  Before you buy food, you should speak to the breeder or the place you are adopting the kitten from. It's best to give her the same food to make her more at home and avoid a potential upset stomach. If you decide to change the food, do it gradually over about a week. Mix the two types of food together and progressively alter the ratio.  Ensure you are providing food that is meant for kittens. Kittens use a lot of energy, so they need protein-rich kitten kibble until they are one year old.  Get a litter tray that she can easily access, and place it somewhere quiet and easy to find. When you get your kitten home you need to keep in mind that she may be frightened and overwhelmed. Start out by putting everything she needs in one room (litter box, toys, food, hiding place, scratch posts) and keep her confined there for a few days while she adjusts. One she seems confident, leave the door to the room open so she can explore the rest of the house.  Try not to overwhelm the kitten. Make sure you have provided her with a hiding place where she can retreat if she gets scared. If you have children, they should sit on the ground and allow the kitten to approach them. If you are bringing her home from a shop, breeder, or rescue centre, ask if there is a blanket which she has been sleeping on. If so, you can ask to take this home so she has something familiar to sleep on. Part of making your house and garden safe for your new kitten, is checking that do you not have plants that can be poisonous, within reach of your kitten.You should also make sure that there are no plants treated with pesticides, or slug pellets...

Beginners should not be around horses without close supervision. As you grow in confidence and skill, you can handle a horse by yourself, but there should still be people close enough to hear or see if something goes wrong. Horses have blind spots directly in front and directly behind. Approach from the side so the horse knows you're coming.  Even in a small stall, try to get the horse to turn around. If the horse is tied up, approach from an angle, not directly behind.  Speak to the horse calmly as you approach, to get the horse's attention. Your hands are your primary communication tools with your horse. When grooming or tacking up, rest your hand on the horse's shoulder or hindquarters. This tells the horse you are there even if he cannot see you. It also gives you the best opportunity to push yourself away should the horse choose to kick. As you groom or tack up the horse, stand next to the horse's side with one hand on the horse whenever possible. Pay attention to a sudden increase in tension. This may lead to a kick or lunge. Tie the rope at the height of the horse's withers (the base of his neck), and make it no longer than your arm. Use a quick release knot so the knot can easily be undone. Never put your finger in the knot as you tie, since the horse could pull it closed.  Ideally, you should tie the horse to a "panic snap," not directly to a tie ring. The panic snap is a length of twine or string that the horse can easily break with a strong pull. Without a panic strap, the horse may fall if it gets startled, potentially injuring itself or you. Never tie the horse using its bridle reins. Moving behind a horse makes you vulnerable to a powerful kick. If there is no room to walk outside its kicking range, walk right next to the horse, with one hand on the rump, and keep talking so the horse knows where you are. At this short distance, a kick will have much less force. Moving or standing in front of the horse is safer, but there are still risks. Never duck under the horse's belly (barrel), neck, or tie...

Beginning at age four, children can begin to understand and comply with your rules.  For example, you can set a rule that if your child wants to paint, then he/she has to wear an old shirt or an apron over his/her clothes to protect them from paint. Make sure that you explain the rule to your child and remind him/her about it the first few times he/she wants to paint. For example, after you have explained to your child that he/she must wear an old shirt or apron before he/she starts to paint, you might just remind him/her by saying, “What special thing do you have to put on before you can start painting?” After a few times, changing into an old shirt or apron should become automatic for your child. If you apply the rules in one situation but not in another, your child will be confused.  In order to make the rules you set work, be consistent with your rules in different situations. For instance, if you tell your child not to watch TV until after he/she eats dinner, but he/she turns the TV on anyway, you might discipline him/her by making him/her take a time-out. If he/she watches TV before dinner the next day, make him/her take another time-out. Administering the same punishment for the same offense every time ensures your child will get the message that you are displeased with his or her behavior. Do not give in to whining or complaints.  If you let your child do whatever he/she wants, he/she will learn that whining will allow him/her to get his/her way, and he/she will use it to his/her advantage in the future. For instance, if your child says repeatedly, “I want to play outside,” but it is time for dinner, you need to insist that he/she can play outside only when you allow it. Sometimes, parents perceive their child’s innocent offense as deliberately intended to irritate or cause mischief.  In fact, many children only learn how to explore the world around them through misbehavior.  For example, if your child starts drawing all over the walls, he or she might not know that such a behavior is inappropriate....

Beginning immediately after you period ends, start checking your cervical mucus first thing in the morning.  Wipe with a clean piece of toilet paper and examine any mucus you find by picking up a bit with your finger. Record the type and consistency of discharge or note the lack of discharge. The female body produces several different types of cervical mucus each month as hormone levels fluctuate, and certain types of mucus are more conducive to pregnancy. Here's how vaginal discharge changes during the month:  During menstruation, your body will discharge menstrual blood, which consists of the shed uterine lining and unfertilized egg. During three to five days following menstruation, most women will have no discharge. Though not impossible, it’s highly unlikely that a woman will become pregnant during this stage.  Following the dry period, you’ll begin to notice cloudy cervical mucus. This kind of cervical mucus forms a plug over the cervical canal that prevents bacteria from entering the uterus, and it’s also difficult for sperm to penetrate. A woman is unlikely to get pregnant during this period.  Following the stickier discharge, you’ll begin to see a white, beige, or yellow “creamy” discharge that’s similar in consistency to cream or lotion. During this stage a woman is more fertile, though not at peak fertility.  You’ll then begin to notice thin, stretchy, watery mucus that resembles egg whites. It will be watery enough to be stretched several inches between your fingers. On or after the last day of this “egg white” cervical mucus stage, you’ll begin to ovulate. This “egg white” cervical mucus is very fertile and provides nourishment to sperm, making this the woman’s most fertile stage.  Following this stage and ovulation, the discharge will return to its earlier cloudy, sticky consistency. It will take several months of monitoring before you’ll be able to distinguish a regular pattern.  Continue recording for several months. Examine your chart and try to distinguish a pattern. Right before the end of...

Beginning riders should always ride with a more experienced rider, although they do not need to share a horse. Riding in company is also a good idea if you are practicing jumps. . If a horse is acting wild or full of energy, have an experienced rider lunge (longe) the horse first. Speak and behave calmly in the presence of horses. Horses work best with patient, quiet people. Never shout around the horse, as he may spook at the noise. Check your surroundings constantly for possible sources of fear. This may include running children, an approaching car, or even a plastic bag blowing in the wind. If the horse's eyes widen and its ears point straight up, it may be scared. If this happens, calmly talk to the horse and try to move somewhere the horse can calm down.  Desensitize the horse in a familiar setting if it is easily scared. Horses are not always friendly when they meet for the first time. Touching their noses together can cause them to bite or strike. Let the horse pick the pace when traveling over slippery ground, including ice, snow, and mud. When riding up or down a steep hill, keep the horse to a walking pace, even if it wants to go faster. Sticking to a walk is also a good idea at night or during low-visibility weather. When near other riders, either ride abreast or stay far enough apart to avoid kicks. When looking between your horse's ears, you should be able to see the hind hooves of the horse in front of you. That said, when riding with a group, don't allow a horse to lag so far behind it has to gallop to catch up.  A red ribbon on the tail is a sign of a kicker in some areas. Stay well back from these horses. When at the front of a group, shout back to inform other riders of possible dangers. These include broken glass, poor footing, and branches at head height. Losing control of your horse can be a dangerous occurrence, especially if you don't know what to do. In most cases, the safest course of action is to stay on the horse and let it run until it calms down or tires out. Pulling back on the...

Beginning with a short period of silence can help people connect to God through themselves. Encourage people to completely focus on God during this time. Alternatively you can sing two or three worship songs before prayer begins. It can help to give a few instructions about prayer before beginning the prayers. People need guidance and direction in order to feel comfortable during the meeting. This way they will also be more open and willing to participate actively. Sometimes it is nice to allow people to request certain prayers or topics to pray for. However, be careful that this discussion does not take more than five minutes. It is very easy for a prayer meeting to turn into a discussion about prayer rather than a time for actual prayers. This is not required but can help get people into a spiritual mode. Make sure this passage is short; it should be about 5 minutes long and definitely no longer than 10 minutes. The point of a prayer meeting is to pray. If you let people speak about their own personal prayers or read verses for a long time then it is no longer a prayer meeting. Make sure you keep the focus on prayer throughout the meeting. Make prayer meetings different from one another and use different prayers within the prayer meeting. Try different forms for the meetings such as singing prayers, changing between small and large groups, being led in prayer, praying through confessions and taking prayer requests. Allow people to pray when they feel they want to rather than going around the circle and having everybody pray. Going around the circle is time-consuming and people end up composing their prayers as the circle gets closer to them rather than fully joining the prayers. Choose an issue and stick to it for a time until you are finished praying for that topic. Only once you have finished praying for that issue should you move to another. Keep prayers focused on one topic to keep the people focused and thus make those prayers strong. Praying for an hour can seem difficult but if you break it up into...

Beginning with the number 11, teach children these numbers one at a time. Write the number on the board, and include a visual image: if you are teaching the number 11, draw 11 flowers, 11 cars, or 11 happy faces. It may also help to incorporate the concept of a ten frame at this point, including a ten frame with the appropriate number of units. For more on ten frames, see Part 2. Children can usually learn to count to 20 fairly easily by rote memorization. Make it even easier by tackling the numbers just two at a time – first count to 12, then 14, and so on. Note, however, that teaching children to count to 20 is not the same as teaching children to understand the number values. Counting needs to be accompanied by other lessons aimed at number awareness and comprehension. Once children know the individual numbers and can count to 20 in the correct order, have them practice writing the numbers themselves. For best results, have them pronounce the numbers out loud as they write them. Showing children a number line, marked at even intervals with the numbers from 0 to 20, may help them visualize the progression of numbers. Some children have more success learning these numbers when they use objects they can touch. Have children count out sticks, pencils, cubes, marbles, or other small items. Reinforce the fact that if they count objects one by one, the number they reach when they stop counting is equivalent to the number of objects they have accumulated. Have children count their steps (stairs are great for this, but it’s also fine just to walk from one side of a room to the other), or have them jump up and down 20 times, counting as they go. Hopscotch games work well for this purpose. Draw 10 squares on the ground, and fill them with the numbers from 1 to 10. Have children count from 1 to 10 when they hop forward and from 11 to 20 when they hop backward. Take every opportunity to count to twenty and demonstrate number awareness. The more children practice, the better their results will be.

Begonias need to be planted in a place that has partial shade, not full sun or full shade. A little sun is good, but too much will prevent them from blooming. Areas that get early morning or late afternoon sun are best, since the sun is less strong at those times. Look for a spot that's out of the wind, so the fragile blossoms don't blow away when they bloom.  Your climate matter, too. If you live in a cooler area, your begonias will be able to tolerate more sun than a warmer area. If the soil is dry or doesn't drain well, till it to a depth of about five inches and mix in compost or other organic matter to make sure the area has excellent drainage. Dig holes about two inches deep, spaced eight inches apart. Place the begonias into the holes and lightly pat soil around the tubers. The tubers should be covered with no more than an inch of soil, whether you plant them in the ground or in pots. Stick your finger about two inches (5 cm) into the soil to see if you feel moisture. If it's dry and dusty, water the begonias well. Try to keep water out of the center of the developing leaf clusters, since this can cause mildew to form.  Take care to water near their bases.  If you're watering potted begonias, water until water flows from the pots drain holes, and dump any drained water that accumulates in a tray or saucer promptly. For the biggest, brightest blooms, you may also fertilize the begonias every other week with a fertilizer for blooming plants prepared according to label directions. They will bloom throughout the growing season, so attend to them often and pinch off any dead or dying blossoms. This will allow the plant to redirect energy to producing new flowers. Taller varieties may get so big that they tilt over, and staking can prevent them from breaking. Place a bamboo pole or another stake into the soil a few inches away from the main stem. Attach the stem to the stake using garden twine. As the plant grows, you may need to add more ties to keep it from leaning over.

Beige and tan flats work great for a casual, neutral look. Colored and textured footwear also gives a casual style while providing a pop of color. Typically, simpler is better when going for a casual style. Consider a denim or light pink canvas flat for a change of pace. Metallic shoes can be a great compliment to a white outfit. Go for closed-toe flats in silver, slingbacks in gold, or embellished bronze gladiator sandals. Metallic flats are extremely versatile and can be worn with dressy or casual outfits. When putting together a classy day look, choose dressier flats to accompany your white outfit. Look for bright colors to add variety to an otherwise plain look. Try wedge sandals for a dressy day look. This shoe looks good with most outfits. Stilettos and other slim designs work especially well for nighttime, and a black shoe adds just the right amount of distinction to your feet.  Try a metallic heel. Look for a tall, strappy stiletto heel to quickly turn your outfit from simple to glamorous. Go for a pair of bold stilettos. Bright red pumps and colorful pink or yellow stilettos can really help accessorize your outfit, and take it to the next level for evening wear while keeping it summery. Tote-style shoulder bags work great for casual outfits. A white outfit makes a perfect blank canvas, so don't be afraid to look for a bag with a bold color or bright pattern. Look for a canvas tote-style handbag. These are great for boho chic styles. Opt for a bag in a color found in everyday nature. Think brown, sky blue, and grass green. If you are putting together a casual day outfit, choose a bold colored bag or one in a neutral tone. Both large or moderately sized bags will look great. For a dressier look, gravitate toward bags made from more sophisticated materials, like leather, instead of casual materials like canvas. For an evening look, choose a small clutch. A sparkly silver or gold handbag can look lively enough for a party and elegant enough for a formal reception. A bold blue, red, or yellow clutch can...

Being a better girlfriend sometimes just means being more available. Sometimes, you need to make your relationship a priority above other commitments you have. Being there for your boyfriend or girlfriend is a simple way to show that you care for the person.  For example, try to make sure you make time at least once a week to spend time together. You can go out on a date or just hang out together at home. Try to fit in time when you can. You don't always need to go on a dinner date. Try meeting for lunch or even breakfast. Spending time together doesn't always mean sitting down and talking, though that's important. Try fitting each other in while you're doing other things, such as working out together or even grocery shopping together. Another way to show your partner that you care is to check in daily, whether you're living together or not. For instance, text them at work just to tell the person you're thinking about them. Call them at night to see how their day went, or if you live together, make sure you take time to check in with them in the evening.  In other words, make time in each day to connect with your partner. You don't need to send twenty texts a day, though if you both are up for that, that's a good way to connect. Establish what works for both of you. That is, if one person isn't big on texting, maybe email would work better or a phone call in the evening. Try to move beyond just, "How was your day?" Ask about each other's long-term dreams or talk about what you're grateful for. Discuss what you value or what you like best in a friend. It can be easy to slip into "How are you?" "Fine, how are you?" Digging deeper, though, will bring you closer.  While having weekly or bi-weekly dates is good, checking in every day keeps you in touch with how the other person is doing and creates a sense of familiarity and intimacy. " Everyone likes to be appreciated and not just for the things we do. Tell your partner often how grateful you are that he or she is in your life, as it will make your partner feel...

Being a college student or being an athlete are both factors in whether or not you have regular periods. About 2 to 3% of women who are college students or athletes have irregular periods. Any change to your normal schedule is likely to cause a change in your menstrual cycle. Your body is very perceptive to these kinds of changes and your monthly cycle is often one of the first places that the effects can be seen. Think about your routine over the past month and consider whether or not you've made any changes to how you normally live your life. This could include getting a new job, changing your sleeping schedule, traveling, taking a new medication, beginning or stopping a particular method of birth control (like the pill), becoming more or less sexually active, or altering your workout routine. Stress is one of the biggest causes of late periods. If you have a lot of stress in your life, emotional or otherwise, it can greatly impact the regularity of your periods. Try to minimize the amount of stress in your everyday life in order to help regulate your period. When trying to determine why your period is late, think about whether or not you've experienced a lot of stress in the past month. Did you go through a painful breakup? Did you have a big deadline at work? Have you had cumbersome houseguests? Did you have a big paper due?

Being a good host is about making people feel comfortable from the minute they walk in the door. This means you need to do some preparation before your guest arrives. Clean the house, have a clear space for guest to put their bags/shoes/coat/umbrella. If you're planning on playing games or watching something, make sure that the supplies are easily accessible.  Anything that could embarrass you may also make your guest uncomfortable: dirt, potentially-offensive books/magazines/movies, or having to root around in the closet or kitchen for something. Know your guests' allergies beforehand so you can be prepared. Consider allergies to food, drinks, animals, and cleaning products. When your guest arrives, lay down the basic house rules right away. This doesn't mean that you need to give them a lecture: it means being kind but clear about the expectations for the space in which they've found themselves.  If you like guests to remove their shoes, don't let them walk around for a bit and then comment on it. Pointedly take off your shoes and ask if they would like you to put theirs away too. They will get the hint. If you have furniture that you don't want your guests to touch or rooms that you don't want them to enter, be clear from the beginning to avoid awkwardness later on. Point out the bathroom right away. This way, no one will need to ask where it is in the middle of another conversation. Don't pressure the guest to clean up with you, but don't deny them if they really want to help. Many people would rather contribute than be waited on. Having something to do takes the mind off of any lingering discomfort.  Give your guests little things to do, like emptying the table or putting the dessert on the table. If they offer to clean the dishes, you may find it most polite to decline and offer them a drink. Sit them at the bar in the kitchen and let them talk to you while you clean dishes. If they are determined, then leave the dishes, sit at the table and talk; ignore the fact that there are dishes to be washed. No...

Being a grown-up is not just about having responsibilities; it’s about fulfilling your obligations and promises in a timely manner, too. Think about all the things you are responsible for. Do you accomplish tasks quickly and without being reminded? Some common grown-up responsibilities include:  Taking care of children Caring for elderly parents Paying a mortgage or rent Maintaining a working car Shopping and cooking for a household When you were young, your top priorities may have been to take care of yourself and to have fun. As you mature, your priorities start to revolve around taking care of others in addition to yourself. For example:  You may be more concerned about health, retirement, or your debt. You will plan to be financially stable instead of rich. You will start to save money for your children's education or for insurance costs. You may even have a plan in the event of your death or the death of your spouse. Living independently is often a goal of adulthood. Being able to clean, fix, and manage your own home is a sign that your personal life is in order. Look around your home, and consider the following:  How clean is your home?  Tidiness is often a sign of maturity. You may start washing your dishes immediately after dinner, or you may start to dust once a week. Who do you live with? Living alone may indicate that you are independent. Living with roommates and significant others shows that you can maturely share a space with others. Living with your parents might be a sign that you haven’t quite transitioned into adulthood, or it may mean that you need some time to achieve financial independence.  Who fixes your home? If something breaks, taking care of it yourself is a major sign of responsibility. If the problem is outside of your ability, you should be able to call a professional in a timely manner, instead of waiting until the problem worsens. Being grown-up isn’t just about taking care of yourself. It also involves taking care of others. You may have many people who rely on you for certain...

Being a guy's friend first gives you two great benefits: he gets to know you and you get to know him, without the awkwardness of being in a dedicated relationship. Treat him like you would all your other friends - be casual and comfortable around him.  Guys will usually be more open with guys than girls, but that doesn't mean that you can't get close - that's usually where the magic happens. Just be careful though - if it gets too platonic, you might lose the romantic connection and sometimes it can be really hard to get back that spark once you are placed firmly in the friend-zone. If this happens, things can become too complicated and you might be tempted to give up. A little bit of flirtation throughout the relationship will keep things going nicely. This may seem like a no-brainer, but actually talking to the guy you like (rather than pining after him from afar) is of utmost importance when it comes to getting him to like you.  Ask him stimulating, interesting questions; find out about his life, his family, his friends; tell him funny stories. Anything that opens up a dialogue between the two of you. If you can get the guy talking about something he's really passionate about - whether it's a favorite sports team, band, author - then you're on to a winner. When he's talking to you about something he loves, he'll start to associate the positive emotions he feels with you! Though this may come as surprise, guys love compliments just as much as girls do, so don't be afraid to say something nice to him from time to time. Of course, showering him with fake compliments is not a good idea - you'll just come off as insincere.  Compliment something about his appearance, like his cute dimples or cool new haircut. Just don't overdo it - guys can be shy about that sort of thing. A simple "I love the color of your eyes" is all you need to say. However, compliments don't just need to be focused on appearance. If he's talking about something that he loves, tell him that you admire how passionate he is. You can also...

Being a leader doesn't necessarily mean being the most talkative, giving corny motivational speeches at halftime. Silent and stoic or loud and inspirational, leaders come in all forms, but have one thing in common. Leaders lead by example. You need to practice what you preach, putting lots of effort into your game and improving your play. When other teammates see you leaving everything on the field, doing that extra rep, running when your tank is expired, they'll be motivated to do the same. Go 100% all the time. As a team leader, remember that you're not a coach. It's not your job to tell other players what to do, it's your job to be a good player. If others are motivated by your performance, all the better. If not, just focus on your own skills and in doing the best job you can do. Teams are only as fast as the slowest player, a chain as strong as the weakest link. Try to identify your teammates that need a little extra and help them out by pairing up during partner drills, or cheering them on during practice. If you're a strong player, you might automatically gravitate toward other strong players, but try to spend time with younger teammates who might need to learn more. It'll mean a lot to them and make you stand out as a leader.  Cheer on your teammates, clapping and encouraging the players when something goes right, and when you see other players getting frustrated with the way something is going. Take control of the morale of your team and encourage them toward success. Different teams have different dynamics, meaning that there's no one way to motivate other players. Some good players may need motivated with some reverse psychology: "You can just sit this one out if you're feeling tired. Maybe it'd be better to let one of the freshman play instead?" Likewise, some unconfident players might need encouragement to improve their play: "You're looking like an upperclassman out there. Keep it up, kid." Morale can sink quickly with a loss, but if you get into the blame-game, it can sink a whole lot lower....

Being a leader in the workplace often involves recognizing when workers need greater direction. This is especially important for new employees or those in new positions who are still norming to their role.  Be sure new employees have training before beginning their new role.  Walk the employee through the steps of their new position, providing note-taking materials. Ensure the employee handbook is up-to-date and easily accessible to all employees, new and existing alike. Delegate instruction and allow new employees to shadow senior coworkers. Appeal to the professional interests of each worker by creating clear paths for development and promotion. Motivate workers by challenging them. Many people thrive when challenged to innovate or perform new tasks. Encourage team members to increase efficiency by creating new systems or recommending product changes. When employees perform well, acknowledge their achievements verbally or by setting up rewards systems.  Announce these achievements to the rest of the team, offering opportunities for positive reinforcement and role modeling. .  Opportunities for recognition can include:  Completing a unique project that is important to the success of the team. Taking a leadership role within a company charity event. When an employee has a major life event (i.e. marriage, childbirth, graduation) When an employee received a promotion or bonus.

Being a professional poker player doesn’t mean having your name in lights: it means playing poker as your job. You don’t need to travel circuits around the world to be a professional poker player – you just need to make it your main source of income. If you find a place or two you jive with, stick with those places. It’s your bread and butter. You will likely develop a reputation for yourself if you stick to one or two places. People may start not wanting to play with you, or worse, recognizing your habits and strategy. If you sense this coming, you may have to widen your circuit and play unsuspecting strangers. If you’re lucky enough to be an amazing poker player who resides out of the USA, you can play online poker to pad your bankroll. Lots of people find this easier – it’s often quicker, pain-free, and, quite frankly, it’s easier to take money from the faceless. If you do live in the USA, it’s possible, but it may not be legal. The US decreed a law recently banning banks from dealing with online poker companies. However, you can play for free online to practice – or you could hack into the system and get a foreign IP address, though that’s not at all recommended. That huge number you came up with in the last section? You need that to play seriously. You need that for buy-ins and betting, and for when lady luck isn’t on your side. Every time you win a game, have half of your hand go directly to your bankroll. If you’re playing often, you should have it in a few months’ time. Don't be tempted to get into intense tournaments when you don't have it just yet. You may end up losing your earnings and having to start all the way back over. Be patient. Some people are just not smart about playing games of skill. They end up losing all their money on a hand they swore was going to be the big winner. They go home penniless, having to beg their friends for favors. Don’t let that be you! Have some money saved up for a rainy day in case you become a little too addicted to the game and happen upon an unfortunate losing...

Being a successful fashion designer not only requires talent and creativity, it also requires a sound knowledge of the business and marketing aspects of the fashion world. Keep yourself updated on the happenings in the fashion industry by regularly reading trade journals like Women's Wear Daily and Daily News Record.  Many fashion design programs include courses in marketing. Some programs/majors highlight marketing more than others, so be sure to do ample research on the coursework involved in the program you choose. If you've already undertaken a course but missed the marketing/financial side of things, consider doing short courses in these aspects of business. Learn beyond design. There is an entire supply chain involved in the fashion industry and you need to understand what each person's job is, so that you can see things from their perspective too, in order to make compromises, meet demands and understand where things get held up. Research what others do, such as buyers, merchandisers, pattern cutters, garment and fabric technologists, quality controllers, graders, sample machinists, sales people, PR and marketing people, fashion journalists, retailers, event organizers, fashion stylists and so forth. Know your customer. This skill is basic and essential and it's one a fashion designer must never lose sight of. Know how much your customers spend, what their lifestyles are, where they like to shop, how they like to shop and what they like and dislike. Know what are absolute needs and what are the things that only get bought when disposable incomes are less tight. If you have done marketing, you should have a solid understanding of how to work out customers' needs. Know your competitors. Always keep an eye on what other fashion designers in your area of interest are doing. At a minimum, keep up. Better still, surpass them while still meeting your customers' needs. Trade fairs are an excellent place to develop deeper understanding of how the fashion industry works and what will work for you in terms of...

Being a tour guide means you need to be a people person. Be prepared to answer questions constantly, handle difficult personalities, and herd groups of people around interesting sites and locations. You’ll need to be cheerful and upbeat whenever you’re on the job. You may want to schedule alone time during your days off to balance out your work schedule. Your primary job is to give people interesting facts about the places you visit. Take time learning about those places. Get information from your company, the local library, and online to expand your knowledge.  Attendees will ask you questions that may be slightly off-topic. Knowing these answers will impress your audience and make you a better guide. If you don’t know the answer to a question, say so. Tell your audience you’re not sure, but that you’d love to know the answer and will be looking for it as soon as you can. When you’re coordinating people, travel plans, and site visits, there’s a lot of opportunity for crisis! Don’t panic if someone gets sick, your tour bus breaks, or a park randomly closes for the day. It’s your job to think on your feet and deal with situations as they arise. You can always contact your company for assistance in these situations, but you’ll need to keep a cool head. You’re the leader of the group when you’re out on a tour, and they’ll look to you for guidance. One of the hardest aspects of being a tour guide is that you’re usually hired as a temporary worker. If you live in a country that provides health insurance through employers, you may need to coordinate getting private insurance on your own. You’ll also need to be responsible for keeping employment and tax records. Remember that your group is on vacation, and you’re at work. Do whatever you need to do to keep the group happy and safe. Stay focused on them whenever you’re on the clock. This might be hard if you’re leading groups in beautiful and relaxing locations, but stay strong! You’re getting paid for this work. Being a tour guide requires you to be on your feet and...

Being a woman also involves maturing emotionally, psychologically, and behaviorally. Most importantly: you will have to learn how to be independent. This will involve learning new skills and habits that will pave a pathway toward success as an adult. There are a lot of things to learn. You might not be able to learn them all right away, but these life skills will allow you to carve your own path through the world without relying on anybody else. Consider purchasing or checking out of the library books that can help orient you to the world of womanhood. Pay attention to how-to guides to help you learn valuable skills. The internet, your friends, and trusted adult mentors are also great resources for learning the skills you will need to be an independent woman. Financial responsibility is important as you mature from a girl into a woman. Perhaps you are working in your first job, preparing to pay for college, or thinking about moving out of your parents' home. In all these cases you will have to learn important life skills such as:  Balancing your checkbook. Keeping careful track of your income and expenses. Paying your taxes in a timely way. Saving up for large purchases and to create a safety net. Learning when it makes sense to take on debt, and when it does not make sense. One way to become a more independent young woman is to figure out how to get from Point A to Point B without depending on your parents. Depending on how old you are and where you live, you might inquire about getting your driver's license or learning permit. Otherwise you can look into public transportation options so that you can travel freely to school, work, and other locations. Being able to keep your commitments, show up on time, take responsibility for your actions, and respond appropriately to criticism will all serve you well in your life as a woman, especially if you work in a career. Finding and keeping a job will allow you to learn how to be independent and will also give you some financial freedom as you mature into womanhood....

Being a woman is not just about the body you are developing: it also has to do with the way you think and feel about yourself. It might take a lot of time and hard work before you feel like a true woman, but there are steps you can take to make the transition. The world is constantly changing, and there are a lot of things to learn. Consider purchasing or checking out of the library books that can help orient you to the world of womanhood. Pay attention to the memoirs and autobiographies of women you respect. You will be exposed to the challenges they faced, which will help you confront your own challenges. If you act like an adult, not only will you be treated like an adult but you will also have higher self-esteem. Some key steps you can take include:  Avoiding procrastination. Take responsibility for your commitments, and complete your tasks in a timely way. Having good manners. Behaving in a kind and polite way can help set the stage for a responsible adulthood.  Standing up for yourself. Politeness is important, but it does not mean that you should be walked all over. Learn how to express your views with confidence, even if the people around you are not behaving as politely as you are. While women tend to underestimate their abilities, men tend to overestimate their abilities. This is known as the "confidence gap." Keep this in mind as you enter adulthood: even if you feel nervous about a task, you might very well be the most competent person in the room. Some ways you can overcome the confidence gap include:  Seeking out female role models. Find women in leadership positions who can help you learn leadership skills of your own, such as how to speak with confidence, how to supervise a team, and how to engage in constructive criticism.  Not letting your "niceness" keep you down. Kindness and politeness are important skills for adulthood, but women are often told to be nice and polite at the expense of their knowledge and expertise. Try to find a good balance between acting kindly and sticking to your...

Being able to brush your teeth, to apply fresh deodorant, or to moisturize your face can go a long way toward making you feel more human while traveling. Put your essentials in your carry-on bag so that you have them to wind down for an airport nap or to freshen up after sleeping.  All of your toiletries should be travel sizes and comply with your country’s carry-on restrictions. Bringing a soft T-shirt or sweat pants can make sleeping in the airport a more comfortable experience. Opt for lighter weight items to keep your luggage easy to carry. Rolling your clothes can keep them from taking up too much space in your luggage, as well. The temperature in airports is often unpredictable, so bringing a blanket can help you sleep more comfortably or provide an extra layer between you and the ground. Similarly, a pillow supports your neck and can help you relax. Opt for an inflatable neck pillow that is easy to deflate. This will take up little room in your carry-on. Lightweight blankets and pillows can be bought from most general retailers, camping stores, outdoorsman stores, and luggage/travel stores. Dressing in layers gives you lots of options to better regulate your temperature and sleep comfortably. A short sleeve shirt or camisole under a lightweight jacket or sweater gives you lots of versatility. If you’re too warm, use extra layers to pad your sleeping area. A sleeping mask will keep out light, which can be especially useful if you’re moving through different time zones. In addition, bringing headphones helps you relax to music on your phone, tablet, or music player. The alarm you’ve set to wake yourself up will pipe directly into your ears, too.  White noise tracks are a great way of tuning out sound around you. You can find free white-noise players, such as Bed Time Fan or White Noise, in the app store.

Being able to keep the conversation going is important when you're flirting. And people love to talk about themselves. Let your crush do most of the talking by asking questions about what they did last weekend, who their favorite band is, or how they like to spend their free time. Focus on questions that require more than a “yes” or “no” so the conversation continues flowing.  Ask a question like, "If you could be an animal, what would you be?" instead of "Would you want to be a cat?" Or ask, "What do you think about the book we're reading in English?" instead of "Do you like the book?" Don't force questions into the conversation. Too many questions will feel more like an interview than flirting. Ask them whenever it feels natural and choose questions that follow the topic of conversation. If they say they love pizza, for example, ask something related like, "What are your favorite toppings?" instead of jumping to a random question like "What's your favorite song?" You're definitely not the one who's going to make the first move, and that's okay. Get them to do the asking by strategically including signs in your next conversation. If the two of you are talking about favorite movies and they mention one they're looking forward to seeing in theaters, say, “I can't wait to see that one, either!” or even, “I really want to see that but none of my friends will go with me.” That leaves the perfect opening for them to ask if you want to go with them.  Don't be discouraged if they don't pick up on your hints. That's the thing about being subtle: It doesn't always work. It works both ways, too. If you notice that they're dropping hints about hanging out, realize it might be a sign they want you to ask them out. Don't say, “We should hang out sometime.” It's vague and likely means it will never happen. Know exactly what you want to do and when so they can either say yes or no. For example, say, “Do you want to go to midnight bowling with me on Saturday night?” instead of “Maybe we can go bowling soon.” If they aren't...
