Problem: Article: When walking alone at night, make sure to keep your head up and look forward. This will help you be alert and aware of your surroundings. Do not look down or away, and only make brief eye contact with others. To avoid looking distracted, do not walk with your cell phone in your hand. If you do, you might be tempted to look at your cell phone. If you are looking at your cell phone, then you are less aware of your surroundings and more vulnerable to surprise attacks. Alternatively, if you feel unsafe, call a friend or family member and talk with them until you reach your destination. This way, someone knows where you are at all times. Avoid using headphones whilst walking, as well. Headphones reduce your awareness of your surroundings, and you might not hear somebody approach you from behind until it's too late for you to do anything. Make sure to plan your route in advance. This way, you will know exactly where you will be going and you will be able to project confidence as you walk. Walk at a steady, brisk pace, and walk facing traffic to keep yourself visible. Do not wander aimlessly if you get lost. Find the nearest filling station, convenience store, or fast-food restaurant to ask for directions. Except for a flashlight, try to keep your hands free at all times. This way, you will be able to react if someone approaches you. Or, if you happen to trip and fall, you will be able to catch yourself by keeping your hands free. Place all of your personal items into one bag. This way, you can avoid having to carry multiple bags. If a dangerous situations arises, multiple bags will prevent you from being able to react quickly.
Summary: Keep your head up. Plan your route. Make sure your hands are free.

Problem: Article: If you are only joking around with your friends on the soccer field, meaningless jokes are an effective way to go. Keep it informal and light. On the opposite end of the trash-talk spectrum, if you are engaged in a competitive sporting event against people you don't know, you may need to focus more on serious boasts and downplay the humor. For a meaningless joke, tell a friend that they're like a bundle of firewood, "because they're always getting burned." For a more serious boast, say, "Should I give you my autograph now, or later?" Whether you're competing online or in person, you need to "read the room" and determine if trash talking is an appropriate tactic. If the other players seem to be focused on projecting respect and sportsmanship, your trash talk may be seen as rude. The same rule applies in online forumsif other participants enjoy trash talk or are already engaging in it, go ahead and join in. If the crowd is more conservative and prefers a quieter atmosphere, you should avoid bothering competitors with your trash talking. Some sports, such as boxing and wrestling, are aggressive, in-your-face competitions. These environments encourage trash talk, as it increases the entertainment for spectators and allows the fighters to get under one another's skin. Other sports, like tennis or baseball, are seen are more "gentlemanly," and discourage trash talk. Even online, some competitive games are more appropriate forums for trash talking. (Call of Duty and similar games are infamous examples.) Until you're familiar with the gaming community, avoid stepping in with aggressive trash talk. Also if you're playing a light-hearted video game with family, avoid trash talk. For example, if you're playing Wii Sports with a young nephew or your grandmother, do not trash talk.
Summary: Identify the situation. Read the crowd. Know the sporting environment.

Problem: Article: Some instructors carry out their lessons methodically, stressing the importance of reading notation and practicing scales. Others prefer a more hands-on approach. No matter who you end up choosing, it's essential that they be able to communicate with your child and make them feel supported. Think back on your child's favorite school teachers and identify some of the traits they had in common. This can offer you a clue about their natural learning style. Kids who learn best by doing will likely get more from a relaxed atmosphere where they're invited to watch, listen and follow along at their own pace. Make location one of the criteria you focus on as you narrow down your options. As a rule, your best bet will be the closest teacher that meets your other standards. Approximate how time-consuming each meeting would be, taking into account driving distance, the length of the lessons themselves and any extra time you and your child might spend asking questions or socializing after class. A certain instructor may seem like the perfect choice, but if they live an hour outside the city, they may not be a practical one. Likewise, you might like the fact that an instructor teaches out of their own home, or you might decide that a private residence full of distractions isn't the best environment for your child to be learning in. Rates vary among different teachers, but generally speaking, good instruction won't come cheap. If you want your child's time to be as enriching as possible, you should be prepared to pay what's being asked. To get a better idea of what's fair, compare rates between the teachers you interview, and ask them to explain how they work out the price of their sessions. Typically, the hourly cost of private lessons will be somewhere between $50 and $70prominent instructors may command as much as $100 per hour. Keep in mind that you might not only be coughing up for the price of lessons, but also books, practice keyboards, timekeeping instruments and other resources. Above all else, use your own best judgment when making your selection. If your intuition tells you that a candidate isn't the right fit, it's likely that they aren't. The most important thing is finding someone who genuinely cares about your child's needs and is dedicated to helping them realize their full potential. If you feel like things aren't working out after the lessons have officially begun, don't hesitate to shop around for a different instructor. Otherwise, you'll just be throwing away time and money. Taking some time to think over your decision can keep you from making a hasty commitment that you'll ultimately end up dissatisfied with.
Summary: Find a teacher that suits your child's learning style. Take location into consideration. Make sure you can afford the rates. Go with your gut.
