INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're a Marxist, this may be a central belief that capitalism is the root of all evils because it exploits the working class. You need to find such a central truth, whatever the revolution you are seeking. Find a way, in a simple sentence, to articulate your cause as a theory. Find a common purpose, and define it. Create a clear and eloquent message. What does your revolution stand for? What does it want to accomplish and why? Create a simple and powerful message that you can push out consistently. You will want a cause that connects to people's deepest passions and their sense of right and wrong. Anchor this in what really matters and how it will create a better world. You can only build your case for change if you articulate why the present is broken. In addition to theory, you can do this by seizing on a specific need or concern that is backed up with data. Essentially, you are trying to articulate the reasons that change is necessary. Perhaps you want to change a single institution, like a school. Target a need or concern that is high profile and compelling. To use the educational example, this might be a high drop-out rate. Perhaps you want to change a government. If you can explain specifically how that government is letting people down or endangering the environment or something specific like that people will rally more to your cause. It's helpful for the revolution to know what it's seeking to change. Legislation? A system of government itself? A simpler shaping of minds about a certain concept, like environmentalism? Breaking down the goals into smaller changes can help the revolution make actual change faster. For example, you might wish you could eliminate poverty throughout the world, but helping some local families in poverty might be a better place to start. You will see effects immediately. You will need an action plan. This should be a written and/or visual model that can include responsibilities, activities, and timelines. Don't just wing it. Sit down and plan. Measure progress, and use data constantly. Perhaps you will need operational support. You will need people who are willing to donate money or time to the cause. Having a funding backer could be useful. Access to raw materials can also help. You will need to fund basic costs that you might not think of on the front end, such as postage, printing, permit costs, and a website. Seek donations. You need partners. People with resources (people, intellectual, financial or otherwise) who can join in and assist the organization. Don't try to do it yourself.

SUMMARY: Find a central theme around which to organize your revolution. Identify a need for reform. Create concrete goals. Come up with a plan to secure resources.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This will allow you to hold notes longer and make your voice even stronger. When you sing, breathe from the diaphragm and let the air flow evenly. To improve your breathing, try this exercise: Take a deep, controlled breath and sing "ah" for as long as you can while you let the air out evenly. Do this every day for several weeks and you will see improvement in your singing. Use your breathing to increase your volume. Rather than open your mouth wider, increase the controlled amount of air you push out. If you're asked to sit, sit comfortably upright but don't let your back touch the chair. Keep your body tall and straight in line over your hips. Keep your shoulders down and back and your arms relaxed. Your feet should be on the ground and slightly apart, and the weight of your body should be leaning forward. The better your posture, the better the sound you will produce. Depending on your director's choice, you may be sitting or standing, so it's important to learn correct choral posture for both. Good posture is also proven to improve your attention and mood, which will help you stay engaged in practices and performances. If you're asked to stand, stand up straight with your shoulders back to open your lungs. Keep your chin parallel to the floor, shoulders back, abdomen loose to allow for deep inhales, and hands relaxed at your sides (unless you're holding sheet music). Just as with sitting posture, your feet should be slightly apart and the weight of your body should be leaning slightly forward. Don't lock your kneesinstead, keep them flexible and loose.
Summary: Use controlled breathing. Sit forward. Stand up straight.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: During those daily discussions, you shouldn't just talk and tune out. When your partner is talking, really listen. Get to know them again. Listen to their worries, concerns, frustrations, and joys. Building intimacy means sharing thoughts with each other and caring about what your spouse says and thinks. Be an active listener by restating what your spouse says or summarizing what they've told you. You may say, "So, you're saying that..." or "Let me see if I understand this correctly..." Prompt your spouse to continue by using short, one-word responses. For example, you may make noises of understanding or encourage, or ask questions like, "How?" or "Oh?" or "And then what happened?" Address their feelings by saying things like, "It seems like you're feeling upset/scared/anxious/depressed/happy" or "I am glad you trusted me enough to share this with me." Maintain eye contact while your spouse talks. Don't think about other things, like what you need to do or what you want for dinner. Keep your attention focused on your spouse. While sharing pieces of your day and talking about random things helps increase intimacy, it is also important to discuss more important things. This may include deeper questions on a personal or philosophical level. These questions get deeper into the way your spouse thinks and why they think that way. For example, you may ask your partner why they love travel so much, why they need to do something a certain way, or where they learned a habit from. Ask them about how their background and childhood has influenced the way they view the world. Talk to your partner about their goals and dreams. You may have done this when you first got married, but what people want changes over the years. Talk about why you both want from life based on where you are right now. You may say, "When we first got together, you loved to travel. Where would you like to go? Why do you want to go there? I'm interested in knowing this about you." You may also try, "You've always been very punctual and insistent about not being late. Why is this so important to you? Have you always been like this?" Ask your spouse, "Did your childhood influence your political/religious/moral beliefs?" or "What are your goals and dreams? We haven't discussed them in a long time, and I really want to know what is important to you now." If you and your partner are struggling to build intimacy despite working on it, you may want to see a marriage counselor. They can help you learn communication skills and work through issues that may be impeding your progress. A marriage counselor can provide you with couples exercises that will help you work on emotional and physical intimacy. This can help if you aren't sure where to start building intimacy or if one of you disagrees that there are intimacy problems.

SUMMARY:
Listen to your spouse. Talk about important things. Seek counseling.
