INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Bow to denote respect, as you would in a non-corporate situation, but be especially mindful of the rank of those to whom you bow. Japanese culture is highly hierarchical, meaning that that older people have higher social status than younger people, men usually have more status than women, and senior executives demand more respect than junior executives. Japanese businessmen often exchange business cards before bowing or shaking hands. Make sure that your business card clearly states your rankthis will determine who your negotiating counterpart should be. If you are bowing to someone who ranks higher than you in his/her respective company, make sure to avert your gaze to show respect. Bear in mind that higher-ranking individuals may not bow backbowing is often a one-way gesture in practice. Cross your legs and ankles while standing, then bend your knees slightly. Lift the fabric of your dress out to your sides. This is a traditional European and American way of showing deference, but its use has declined sharply over the past century. Curtsy in any situation that might call for a bow. As with bowing, the curtsy is still regarded as a polite gesture, but it will come across as a bit outdated. In Western culture, it is common to bow after a speech or performance to acknowledge the applause of the crowd. As your audience claps (or snaps, cheers, etc.), put your right hand on the center of your chest. Breathe in deeply. Bend your back. Briefly bow your head, then stand back up. Do not bow for too long, nor too quickly. Bow for 3-5 seconds, but do not let it drag on. Stand still. Do not shuffle about while you bow.

SUMMARY: Bow in a corporate setting. Consider curtsying if you are wearing a skirt or dress. Bow for an audience.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you have a passcode enabled, this will prompt you to enter your passcode; otherwise, this will take you to the Home screen. This will open your Music app to the last song, playlist, album, or similar item that you had open. This will open your music library. This will begin to play your selected song. You should see a bar pop up at the bottom of your Music app with the song's name and pause button. This will open your song's specific menu; if your song's menu is already open (e.g., displaying artwork in the middle of the page), proceed to the next step. This will scroll down the page; you should see an option entitled "Up Next" with two buttons next to it. This is the option with two arrows pointing in opposite directions; when you tap it, it should become highlighted in red, meaning that your playlist will repeat without ending. You can also enable "Shuffle" from here by tapping the button with two intertwined arrows. This will place a small number "1" in the top right corner of the Repeat button icon; your individual song will now repeat until you disable this option! Tapping the "previous song" or "next song" buttons while on repeat will now change the song that's playing, regardless of the repeat function.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It's important to maintain contact with those friends who you really like. Throughout the school day, ask all of your friends for their numbers, and then write them in your yearbook or notebook. Don't be embarrassed to ask your crush for his or her number. If they say no, don't worry about it; it's the last day of school. You won't have to see that person for another three months! If they say yes, then consider taking it a step further. Ask your crush if they would want to go on a date, or maybe even try to sneak in a first kiss. Anything is possible, just don't do anything reckless. Sure, they gave you all that homework, all those boring lessons, and maybe a detention or two, but your teachers worked hard and surely taught you something valuable during the year. Show them your gratitude with a simple farewell. If you're at a loss for words, here are some examples of nice things to say to a few of your teachers: "I appreciate all of your hard work this year. Thank you! Have a great summer." "Sorry if I talked too much sometimes. I learned a lot from you. Goodbye!" "Thanks so much, teacher!" Apologize to everyone--especially your enemies and teachers. You don't want to be guilty over a tiny squabble for the rest of your life do you? Plus it'll make people feel good. Be nice, you'll make other people happy. Don't complain, whine, be rude, or become upset. It might annoy other people. Give your friends some big final hugs and tell them why they are special to you. Don't be surprised if a few tears are shed (bring some tissues if you are the crying type). Keep your spirits up if you are feeling sad about leaving your school and your friends. Life goes on, and plus, you might see them sooner than you think. When the final bell rings, grab your bag, and make a mad dash out of the building! Enjoy your summer vacation and don't forget to read a few books.

SUMMARY: Exchange phone numbers with everyone. Say goodbye to your teachers. Say goodbye to all of your friends. Have a great summer vacation.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The best thing about "me time" is that you're not going to have any interruptions. Catch up on school work, study for an upcoming test, clean your room, get your finances squared away, etc. Use this time to your advantage. Reorganizing a room can be a lot of fun. Once everything is clean, rearrange the furniture to give the room a new look. Put up new decorations to freshen things up. Create a new color-coded filing system to organize your papers, or make a calendar and fill it in with all your plans for the next few months. If you make time to practice a skill every time you're alone, you may end up getting quite good at it. Is there a guitar lying around the house or a piano that rarely gets played? Put it to use! Try your hand at logic games and puzzles. There are plenty to choose from online and a number of logic puzzle apps available for smartphones. Or you could get a little retro with a Rubik's Cube and work your way towards genius. Learn a skill you've always wanted to develop or find a topic you're curious about and take a class on it. Many free and low-cost classes are available online as well as at many community centers. Free courses often don't require any homework or tests, so if the grading part of taking a class puts you off, take one where you don't have to worry about it. Catch up on phone calls to your relatives and friends who live in other places. Email or text them if you don't want to make a phone call. Having time alone is a great opportunity to reconnect with people you've fallen out of touch with. Having time to yourself away from other distractions allows you to slow down and turn inward--giving you a perfect chance to let yourself do some quiet reflecting. Think through decisions that have been weighing on you lately. What are the pros and cons of the options before you? Write them down if that helps you sort through your thoughts. Use your imagination. Go to a different place in your head and imagine a different world. Allow yourself to daydream. You may even come up with a great new idea for a story or a blog post. Meditate. Sit quietly, close your eyes, and pay attention to the sounds, smells, and sensations around you. Let your mind go blank and concentrate on your breathing.

SUMMARY:
Catch up on responsibilities. Learn a new skill. Take a class. Call someone you haven't talked to in a while. Meditate or simply take some time to think.
