Write an article based on this "Don't let it get to you. When meeting someone new for the first time, it is always best to give him or her the chance to reveal his or her true nature fully. Be tactful. Change the topic of conversation. Avoid interacting much at all. Disagree politely. Find humor in their arrogance. Keep your distance if you need to keep your sanity. If you work with a consistently rude and arrogant person, whenever you see them coming, suddenly be incredibly busy. Be honest. Stay polite at all times."
article: This can be easier said than done but by ignoring the practiced superiority, it's knocking down the whole purpose of the behavior. Be charitable in interpreting this person's obvious exaggerations and assumptions and try to find ways to excuse some of the big talk (especially if it's a relative or someone you see regularly). Probe for what you can enjoy about the encounteramong all of the fluff, there probably is something worth knowing or exploring more deeply together. Maybe this person is good for a story or is charming in spite of the evident snobbery. This means listening attentively and allowing the other person to speak freely. Be polite and acknowledge what is said without trying to engage any more deeply. As the person talks, his or her personality will be exposed and you'll find it's either friendly and equitable or mired in insecurity and therefore likely to bring up a range of irritating behaviors. If, for expediency's sake, the person happens to fit the latter category (that is, unappealing and irritating), quietly plan to obtain the information you have come to seek from them or the business transaction you are obligated to complete and then resolve to quietly and quickly with the most polite tact make your exit (aka escape from their presence). By being tactful, you can still point out things that are self-evident or down to luck rather than any person's actual skills. Discuss how much you owe to luck in life and the kindness of others. Note too, that many people do it tough in life, and how amazed you at how such people manage to thrive all the same. This gives a hint that you're not going to stand around listening to blarney about the arrogant person's amazing supernatural abilities. This can take the wind out of an arrogant person keen to dominate a conversation on a topic that he or she feels comfortable. If there is an attempt to return to the old topic, politely point out that you have already made known your views and return to yet another new topic. This will help to make it clear that you're not standing there all day to listen to a one-comedian show. There are some good ways to lessen the impact of an arrogant person who is both dominating the conversation and exaggerating or intimidating as if on stage. Smile a lot. Say very little. Nod here and there. Refuse to be drawn in. An occasional murmur like "ah," ha," or "mmm" can be helpful. Then plan your exit. Laugh very loudly at a point where clearly laughter isn't right. It will baffle and gives a chance to change the topic. A simple one often used by teenagers is the "Really?" comment. Say it with a tone of disbelief, look the person straight in the eye, and say no more. Practice this in front of the mirror to perfect it. You're not a punching bag or a mirror. You are entitled to voice your opinion politely. So, take the opportunity to do in a way that simply states that there are other views, too. Stay calm and polite while doing this. For example: "You have an interesting point there. I've not found the same to be true in my line of work though. In my experience, X happens instead, almost 99% of the time. The other 1% is not worth the trouble to notice." "For sure, that's one way of looking at it. However, in my experience, I've seen things happen quite differently. For instance..." This is a big one. Often, arrogant types are too self-centered to realize that others are making fun of them. Pretend that you don't understand simple concepts, and watch them swoop in and try to prove their superiority. If you haven't found a reliable method for dealing with this person yet, do your best to stay out of his or her way. It'll buy you time to work out how to better respond, or it will simply keep you away from their annoying presence. If you must acknowledge them, generally speaking, in a group setting you can get away with addressing the group as a whole rather than speaking to the arrogant person specifically: for example, instead of saying,"Hi there, Wendy," say, "Hi there, everyone." Also, don't ask, "How are you?" as this might evoke a rude response. Pick up the phone and pretend to be having a conversation. If they are specifically wanting your attention, keep them waiting for as long as you can get away with it. Have a column of figures handy to be added up three times over. When you finally do acknowledge them, do so in a distracted, brisk, impersonal way whilst commencing yet another task. For example, say something, such as, "Right, what can I do for you," as you pick up the telephone receiver. This technique often works very successfully because you are, in effect, "putting the arrogant person in their place." This is the opposite of what they want. If this isn't working and the arrogant person is still getting on your nerves, tell them that you think they are being arrogant and really tell them how you feel. Don't shout or swear or insult them more than is necessary, because then you will just look evil. Manners will spare you from looking like the bad person in all of this. It'll be clear that you've tried and that you're patient. But it will also be clear that you don't tolerate fools either. Once you have left their spirit-robbing presence, you can pride yourself on your professionalism, your intelligent awareness of the dynamics, and your presence of mind to escape quickly without wasting another valuable minute around such a spirit-robber. They on the other hand will be left with a profound surprise of having had such a pleasant encounter with a truly stable and mannerly individual and will feel "like a heel" in comparison, knowing that their rude arrogance will have no effect on you and that they cannot control you, hurt you, anger you or destroy you with their dark spirits that they themselves seem unable to control or resist within themselves.

article: More eye makeup isn't necessary for daytime (or anytime), but if you do want to wear daytime eye makeup, applying a primer will help it last longer. Apply a cream primer or flesh-colored eyeshadow to your entire eyelid, from the base of the eyelid right to the brow line. Apply a layer of light purple or brown eyeshadow to your eyelid from the inner corner to the center. Add depth to your eye by applying a medium brown eyeshadow to the crease of your eye and the outer bottom corner of the eyelid (not up toward the brow line). Use a clean brush to blend these colors together. Apply a thin line of medium brown eyeshadow to the outer corner of your bottom lash line as well. To add definition to your eyes, apply a thin line of your favourite brown eyeliner to the upper lash line. At the outer corners of your eyes, you can extend the liner out slightly toward your temple to make your eyes look larger. Once your eyeshadow and liner are complete, you can add mascara to the top and bottom lash lines. For daytime makeup, choose a thin brush to apply some eyeshadow to your eyebrows. Use a brush or eyebrow comb to work the color through. Try to find an eyeshadow that matches your natural hair color.

Write an article based on this "Ask questions. Be a good listener. Solidify your family values. Make sure your children are involved. Write a mission statement."
article:
Once you have spent some time thinking about your personal values, it's time to figure out how to integrate them with the rest of your family. In order to do that, you all need to effectively communicate with each other. Begin the process by asking questions. Ask your family to join you for a discussion about values. Begin by asking open ended questions such as, "What is most important to our family?" You can also try, "What brings you happiness? How does that affect our family?" Other good questions to ask include, "What makes you most proud about our family?" or "What do you look forward to when you come home?" You could also try "What embarrasses you about our family?" and "What does our family provide for you that you don't get from friends?" Consider having each family member answer these questions individually. Then you can openly and honestly compare answers. Encourage your family members to ask questions, too. During your family discussion, it is important that you all practice good listening skills. To indicate that you are listening, ask follow up questions. For example, if your partner says he values honesty, ask him how that can become more of a focus for the family. You can also use non-verbal cues to indicate that you are listening. Nod your head when someone is speaking, and smile to indicate you appreciate what is being said. Try to limit interruptions. Ask everyone to put away their cell phones and turn off the tv while you are having this important conversation. Once you have spent some time discussing your family values and enjoying quality time together, you can begin the process of more clearly defining your family values. Take some time to sit down together and make a list of the values that are most important. You can think of these values as firm guidelines that your family is agreeing to live by. Writing things down can help your family gain mental clarity about shared values. Try writing down items such as "help society" or "religion/spirituality" or "honest communication with family members". Try having each family member choose 3-4 values that they feel are most important. Combined, this will give you a manageable number of values to put on your permanent list. For example, you could choose "Safety" as one of the primary values for your family. Each family member could then indicate how they will stick to this value. You could pledge to always drive the speed limit. Your daughter could promise to always wear a helmet when riding her bike. Treat defining your family values as a family decision. If your children are a little older, such as teenagers, make sure they feel like they are an important part of the process. Say things such as, "We value your input. How do you feel about including education as one of our primary family values?" You can also encourage your kids to explain their opinions. Try saying, "What do you like about this choice? Why do you think adding humor as a family value is the best option?" If your children are still pretty young, you can find other ways to get them involved. Try having them draw a picture of the things they love about your family. Once you have reflected on your values and discussed them with your family, you should have a good idea of how to define your family values. One way to solidify them is to write a mission statement. This is a document that indicates what your family values and can also include goals. The mission statement is a formal declaration of the values you share as a family. Write down what the purpose of your family is and a strategy for making sure that you remain focused on that purpose. Try writing an introduction that states why your family is choosing these particular values. You can talk about how your family is committed to these values in order to help promote good life choices. The introduction doesn't have to be long, just a paragraph will do. List the values. You can organize them by categories such as Health, Happiness, Balance, and Stability. Then, you can indicate your family strategy for sticking to each of these values. You can print the mission statement and have it framed. Having it hang in your home is a good way to remind each of you of what is truly important to your family.
