Lots of popular culture suggests that the prettiest girls are also the cruelest. You don't have to be mean to be pretty; in fact, it makes you less attractive. Be kind to people instead: ask them how they are and offer help if you see them struggling. People who are confident always seem more attractive to others. A great way be confident is by preparing yourself for situations you might be in. This means showing up to class having done your homework, do some extra research on the company you're interviewing with, or even just looking up which movies are playing before you make plans with your friends. People who smile generally look prettier than people who frown all the time. Smiling more can help you look prettier, and it also makes you seem more approachable. Have you ever noticed how people who seem to know who they are and have no problem being themselves seem more attractive? Sticking to your own style, whether it's with make-up, your clothes, or your accessories, can help you look prettier. One of the easiest ways to be yourself is by following your intuition, sometimes called following your "gut." If something just doesn't feel right to you - whether it's a certain type of clothing, a makeup look, or an activity that your friends or significant other wants you to do - don't do it.

One-sentence summary -- Don't be cruel. Be confident. Smile more. Be yourself.

Q: Be gentle with it and give it some love and care. Follow your veterinarian's advice about follow-up check ups after the operation and give all medications for pain as instructed. Some veterinarians choose to "bury" sutures, which means there are no visible sutures. Others use sutures in the skin, which will need to be removed in 7-10 days at the veterinarian's office. For the first 24 hours after surgery, most dogs are quiet, as they are groggy from the sedation and anesthetic. For up to a week after the operation the dog should be kept reasonably quiet (no vigorous play, running) and dry (no swimming or bathing). Your dog can resume normal activity and exercise a week after the operation, as the incision should be healed enough to allow this activity. The incision should not gap nor bleed. The skin should be pale, or the normal skin color, around the incision. In light skinned dogs you may see some light bruising as well. Things that should be looked for and brought to the attention of your veterinarian include: Gaps in the surgery site Redness of the site and the skin around it Any discharge or swelling around the surgical site Any other abnormalities, such as blood dripping from the wound or unusual smells. Most dogs recover uneventfully from the surgery as long as the incision is keep clean and dry and the dog does not lick at the incision. Licking can cause the wound to open, leading to a chance of infection. If you catch your dog constantly licking the incision site, it may need to wear an Elizabethan (E)-collar, or the dreaded cone, to keep it from hindering healing.
A: Take your dog home. Keep your dog as calm as possible. Check the incision site twice a day. Keep your dog from excessively licking the incision site.

Article: If you allow the rejection to sour your attitude or affect your work, your boss will probably feel like (s)he made the right decision. If you develop a reputation for having a bad attitude or for not accepting feedback, then your boss will be even less likely to give you a raise. Once your boss gives his final verdict, be as gracious as possible. Don't walk out of the room and slam the door. This demonstrates your willingness to take your boss's opinions into account. It may be that both of you can agree on increased responsibilities and activities over a certain time period that gradually leads to a new role and a pay increase. This will also demonstrate your commitment to your job and your ability to work hard. Your boss will see you as a go-getter and you'll be on his radar the next time raise season rolls around. If you are a star employee, keep performing excellently and ask again in a few months time. This provides a dated, written record that you can remind your boss of in future negotiations. It will also remind your boss that you're grateful for the conversation that you had and shows him that you have follow-through. . Your desire for a pay raise is now out in the open and your boss should be concerned about the possibility that you are looking for work elsewhere. Set a date for when you will ask again. Until that time, be sure to kick your work into high gear. Don't slack off just because you're disappointed that you won't be getting a raise yet. You should never have to settle for less than you deserve. If you're shooting higher than your company is willing to pay, maybe it's better to apply for a different position that has a higher salary -- either with your company or another one. Think this possibility through carefully; there's no need to burn bridges just because your conversation with your boss didn't go well. It's better to stick with it for a little while longer to try to work for that raise. But if months have passed and you haven't gotten the recognition you deserve in spite of your hard work, then don't feel bad about seeing what other companies have to offer.
