This method uses common ingredients, but requires sunlight to finish the process. You will also need to wait for the fabric to air dry before you can tell whether the stain was successfully removed, making it slower than most other methods. Warning: lemon juice and sun are both capable of harming delicate fabrics, especially silk. Submerge the fabric in cold water for a few minutes. While it is soaking, gather up the other materials you will need. This includes lemon juice, salt, and a zip lock plastic bag large enough to contain the clothing. Twist the clothing to remove some excess water. Untwist it and transfer it into a large, resealable plastic bag. Pour about 500 mL (2 cups) lemon juice and 120 mL (1/2 cup) salt into the plastic bag and seal it. With the bag closed, press the contents together to work the lemon juice into the fabric, focusing on the stained areas. Some of the salt should dissolve, and may help rub the lemon juice into the fabric, or abrade the stain itself. Let the bag sit for ten minutes. Take out the fabric from the bag and squeeze out the excess lemon juice. Hang the fabric on a clothesline or clothes horse, or spread it on a flat surface and leave it to dry. Do this in a sunny area, not just in front of a heater. It may feel stiff once dry, but this should go away once the item has been washed normally. If the blood stain is gone, wash the fabric with water to remove all the lemon salt solution. If the blood stain remains, moisten the fabric and let it dry under the sun again.

. Many adolescents and teens communicate in a style that leaves teachers and parents scratching their heads. If you want to be viewed as mature, you should speak in a way that others understand. Use proper words, not shorthand or acronyms. Write in complete sentences with proper spelling. If you want to learn appropriate ways to engage in conversation with others, ask your parents to role-play communication with you. Many teens assume they know everything, so they don't want to listen to others. A sign of maturity is knowing that you can learn something from everyone. Try to listen more than you speak. A good rule-of-thumb is to listen to understand rather than listening to reply. Try to figure out what the other person is trying to say. Don't interrupt or rush to get your message across. Fully hear them out. Then, try to summarize what you think they said. For instance, your mom says, "I'll be out of town this weekend and I'm concerned about leaving you at home alone. I think you should try to stay with the Woodards." You might respond, "I can see you are worried about me being here by myself. I agree. I will see if Pat's parents don't mind me staying over." Using slang or other popular terms strictly in the presence of peers is okay. But, when you are communicating with adults, try to use words in their proper form. Don't try to talk over adults heads by using terms they aren't familiar with. Also, avoid using swear words, which is a sign of disrespect.

One-sentence summary -- Communicate clearly Use active listening. Avoid using slang or swear words.

One aspect of good leadership is being quick and decisive to act to solve a problem. If you see something needs to be done and are confident that you know the best way to do it, use your initiative. A strong leader can be someone who is prepared to take the lead in situations without necessarily being asked to. Using your initiative demonstrates a positive and "can do" attitude. Make sure you are confident in your actions, however. Act calmly and assuredly, and don't ty to rush to a solution when the problem requires consultation. Another aspect of good leadership is knowing when to take advice, and understanding when a problem needs a deeper understanding before it can be addressed. To set a strong example as a leader it's essential that you take responsibility for your individual tasks and priorities as well as your team as a whole. Having clear priorities and clearly assigned roles will make it easier for people to identify and own their responsibilities. Support your team members to complete their tasks and try to forge a cooperative rather than a competitive environment and culture. Taking responsibility can also involve removing responsibilities from those who have demonstrated that they are unable to manage the tasks assigned. One way to demonstrate good leadership skills is to always be alert to new possibilities to learn and develop your capabilities. Showing a continuous desire to improve yourself and your work can be a motivating factor for those around you. It demonstrates your commitment to excellence and your lack of complacency. Organise and write down a clear set of standards for yourself personally, and then try to always stick to them. Try to monitor your work, and identify the areas which you can improve on. You can use these personal standards to draw up a personal development plan. A good leader is someone who can provide a clear and compelling vision for the short term and longer term future. The ability to plan ahead, think strategically, and develop priorities are all hallmarks of strong leaders. In order to do this, you will need to develop a broader perspective so that you can see beyond the immediate deadlines. Seeing the bigger picture can help you envisage problems before they arrive. This kind of approach can also lead to innovation and structural changes that have long term benefits.
