Summarize the following:
You may have complicated feelings about the person who is passing away, and your relationship may not have always been so perfect. Still, it's better to talk to the person as soon as you can before it's too late. When a person you care about is dying, even if you have a difficult relationship, it's not about settling the score or getting the record straight, but about being with him or her in a time of great need. If you wait too long to talk to the person, you may miss the opportunity altogether. " You may have complicated feelings toward the person and may forget to say these most important words. Even if you've never said them before to the person or haven't said them in years, it's important to get these words out while you still have meaningful time with the person. You'll regret if you don't find the time to say it. Stop looking for the most perfect moment to be honest and just be true to your feelings. Talk about your favorite memories or the strengths you developed because of him or her. This may make for an emotional moment, but the person will really want to know. It's tempting to tell a dying person that everything is going to be fine. The person will generally be all too aware of his or her physical state and will appreciate the fact that you're offering your support without trying to sugarcoat anything. Focus on just being there for the person instead of offering false hope when the end is very near. Your loved one still cares about you and wants to know about your life. Sharing the good parts of your life with a person who is dying will make him feel happy to be a part of your life. Besides, if the person is leaving this life soon, he or she will be comforted by the thought that you are in a good place in your life. Though you may not know what to say, try not to say something like, "It's all in God's plan," or "Everything is meant to happen for a reason." Unless the person is deeply religious or uses these words him or herself, this kind of talk can be a bit frustrating. It can even make it sound like the person deserved to die and to suffer for some reason and that there's no sense in fighting it or feeling angry. Instead, focus on being in the present with the person instead of reasoning why the person might be dying. If your loved one is just days or months from death's door, then this is not the time to give unsolicited medical advice. Your loved one has likely tried everything and considered all options, and this kind of talk is only frustrating, hurtful, and rude. He or she just wants to be in peace at this point. Suggesting other health options will only lead to stress or anger. If the person is feeling really tired and just wants to enjoy your presence, then don't feel forced to make conversation. This is different from trying to cheer up a sad friend, and your loved one may be physically and emotionally exhausted. While you may be wanting to have a conversation or you may think that talking is preferable to silence, let your loved one decide whether or not you should speak. You don't want to force him or her to use so much energy during such a trying time.

summary: Don't wait until the last minute. Remember to say "I love you. Share just how much that person means to you. Don't offer false assurances. Let them know happy news. Avoid platitudes. Stay away from giving advice. Don't force the person to speak.

Commit it to memory so you need only glance at your notes. Practice your mannerisms, enunciation, and the pitch and volume of your voice. Record yourself or go through the presentation with a friend or colleague in order to identify areas that need improvement. Avoid slang and jargon and never, ever curse. Smile and shake hands when entering a room. Make eye contact and address people by name. Stand up straight with your shoulders back. Wear the appropriate clothes and be sure your shoes are polished. Keep your hands out of your pockets and don't fidget during quiet moments. If you are giving a presentation to a very large audience, don't just stand on the stage as people file in. Mill about, introducing yourself and greeting people you know. Practice working with a smart board or with a laptop and projector so you can troubleshoot any problems ahead of time. If necessary, bring your own equipment with you. If possible, set up all technology in advance on the day of the presentation. Go through your presentation and write down any potential questions or objections on a separate piece of paper. Ask a friend or colleague to role play as the customer and ask questions or raise objections that you did not anticipate. Draft answers to all possible objections and be prepared to deliver them. Pause for questions where appropriate. Watch body language that indicates your audience doesn't understand something. Maintain your energy and enthusiasm throughout the presentation. Try to control the meeting by announcing when questions will be taken. This can help you to avoid interruptions at a critical time. Recognize, however, if you are speaking to a decision maker, you might not have a choice.

summary: Practice delivering your presentation. Exude confidence and enthusiasm with your body language. Familiarize yourself thoroughly with all technology used in the presentation. Anticipate objections and rehearse answers. Practice assessing whether your audience is following along.

above your window. Place your brackets at least 2in (5.1cm) above the top of your window, and 6in (15cm) out from each side. Make sure the brackets are level so your curtain rod runs horizontally. Use a drill with a screwdriver attachment to secure the brackets in place. Once they're installed, set the curtain rod on top of the bracket. If you can't drill into your walls, you can also use adhesive-backed hooks to hold the curtain rod. Put them in the same position as you would the brackets and allow them to set on the wall for at least 1 hour. If you have a recessed window, you can also use a tension rod inside of the window well. Twist the tension rod until it's 12in (1.3cm) wider than the window. Use a double curtain rod if you want to hang voile behind a different type of curtain. That way, you can close a thicker curtain over the voile to get more privacy. Curtains that are the same size as your window look flat whenever they're closed. Look for a voile curtain that is at least 2 times as wide as your window and long enough to reach down to your floor. Get 2 voile panels if you want curtains that open up in the middle. Each panel should be as wide as the full width of the window. Most curtains have small pockets or holes running along the top of them. Place a hook in the first pocket on one side of your curtain, and then add another hook every 4 pockets after that. Work your way across the voile until you reach the other side of the curtain. You can buy curtain hooks from any home goods store. If your voile curtain doesn't have holes or pockets, then it will have an area on top where you can easily slide the curtain rod through it. Once the hooks are attached to your voile, unscrew the end of your curtain rod so the cap comes off. Slide the hooks over the rod until you've put on the entire curtain. If you're using 2 curtain panels, slide the second panel on as well. Screw the cap back onto the end of the rod once you're finished. Set the rod on top of the brackets so it's held securely in place. Some brackets may have a screw that you can use to keep your rod from moving around while it's hanging, so be sure to tighten it with a screwdriver. Spread out your voile curtain so it covers the window entirely. If you're using a tension rod to hang your voile, slide one end of the rod into the window well and shimmy the other side in until it feels tight against the sides.
summary: Install curtain brackets Get voile curtains that are twice the width of the window. Put hooks into every fourth pocket along the top of the voile. Slide the voile curtain onto the curtain rod. Hang the rod in the brackets.
