Problem: Article: Calm any pre-performance nerves by being prepared on the day of the talent show. This means having all your stage props ready, having your costume on hand, and making sure everyone in your band is present for the show. You may want to take time after school to prepare for the show, packing a bag of supplies that you will need for your performance. You know what they say, "save the best for last". Going last in the lineup may help you get a leg up on the competition and help to calm your nerves, especially if you need time to get used to being around the other performers and to being on stage. Going last can also allow you to create a lasting impression on the judges that will be fresh in their minds as they deliberate the winners of the show. Take some time to sit in the audience and observe your competition, on the day of the talent show or during rehearsals for the show (if applicable). Notice if there are acts that are similar to your act or that use an element of your act. You may need to adjust your act so your version is more interesting and engaging. To win the show, you really need to focus on standing out from your competition. Self-talk is your internal dialogue, which is often running in the background in your mind as you go through your day. Having positive self-talk on the day of the talent show can help you to perform at your best and give you the confidence you need to blow away the judges. Push negative thoughts out of your mind and focus on positive self-talk. This could mean not freaking out when you miss up a step in practice or skip a beat. Instead, tell yourself, "It's okay, it's just practice. I have time to get better at this." You can also use positive self-talk as you perform for the judges. Remind yourself that you worked hard to get to this point and that you are the best performer on the stage. Tell yourself that you have all the skills and abilities to win. A big part of performing at your best is putting your passion and attitude up front for the judges and the audience to see. This means not being afraid to get emotional during your performance and being yourself when you perform. Doing this will increase your chances of winning, on your terms.
Summary: Be prepared on the day of the talent show. Try to go last in the lineup for the show. Observe your competition and adjust your act accordingly. Use positive self-talk. Perform with passion and attitude.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are hanging out around a group of people or in a crowded area, try asking the person you want to kiss to head to a more secluded spot. This will send the message that you want to be alone with them, while also getting you two into an area that a kiss could happen. Try asking them to be alone by saying: "Hey, do you want to take a walk with me really quick?" If you two are talking about something and a natural lull happens, use this as an opportunity to hint at a kiss. Try to keep the conversation paused and don't bring up any new subjects. Silence can hint at a kiss and leave an opportunity for one. This will send a message that you'd like to kiss them. Make eye contact and keep your expression neutral. This might feel awkward to you, but your kissing partner will probably find it romantic. You can even look at their lips and then back up to their eyes again to get your message across. If your time with the person you want to kiss is coming to an end, this could be a perfect opportunity to kiss. Don't rush into leaving or walking away; instead, prolong your farewells. Try saying things like, "Well, I had a great time. Did you?" or, "Would you want to hang out again sometime?" Bringing your face closer to the person you want to kiss will both send a message that you like them and give you two an opportunity to kiss. Try to find something flirty and cute to whisper in their ear. You could say, "I have a secret to tell you!" and then whisper, "You look really beautiful tonight." If you haven't hinted enough already, leaning in to the person you want to kiss will get your message across for sure. Tilt your head slightly to the side to prepare for your kiss and see if your partner leans in too. If the person you want to kiss leans back or moves away from you, they probably aren't ready to kiss you, and that's okay. If you've been getting mixed signals or you aren't sure that your hinting has worked, be direct and ask them specifically if they'd like to kiss you. This can be a great way to show that you are respectful of their boundaries and that you want to make them feel comfortable. Say, "Can I kiss you?" If the answer is yes, go for it!

SUMMARY: Find a spot where you two can be alone. Find a pause in the conversation. Look deeply into their eyes. Linger when it is time to say goodbye. Whisper something in their ear to get close to them. Start leaning in with your head slightly tilted. Ask for permission if you aren't sure.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before you have the necessary capital, connections, and experience to invest in your own properties, you need to work in an entry-level job. You will benefit from this by having a supervisor mentor, a steady income, and gaining experience a variety of property management tasks. There are a few paths to go for finding an entry-level job. It is often too time-consuming for a real estate agent to split his time between selling real estate and managing rental properties. A good property manager is the key to proper management of a realtor's rental properties. Submit your resume highlighting your skills pertaining to property management. Many apartment complexes or government housing facilities utilize assistants. By taking on this role, you learn the ins and outs of the job without being entirely responsible for everything at first. Instead of being the one responsible for collecting rent and late fees, you might act as the contact for maintenance or janitorial services. After a few years you may find you are accumulating capital and have the time to devote to taking on extra work. In the long run, managing your own properties would likely result in the largest profit margin. It may also become more work than you bargained for, and new businesses can take many years to get themselves out of debt. Consider the risks and rewards before making any big decisions.
Summary: Get your resume out there. Contact local real estate companies. Apply as an assistant property manager. Consider buying properties down the road.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In order for your Great Dane to be friendly and happy, he needs to meet other animals and people. This means you need to take him to communal places, such as dog parks, rides in the car, neighborhood walks, pet stores, or obedience classes. Your Great Dane craves human companionship, so make sure he has plenty of interaction with you and your family. Your Great Dane needs to be exercised every day. This will help keep him healthy and happy, but make sure the exercise isn't too strenuous. You should not use your Great Dane as a running partner or do other really intense exercise because it can cause injury to his skeletal system. He can run and play, but not for long periods of time. You should not do any harsh running or strenuous play for long periods of time when he is younger than 18 months. At this point, his body is still growing, which means too much strenuous exercise can put too much strain on his growing bones and cause malformations. Make sure to wait at least an hour after he eats to for exercise. This will help prevent bloat. Although your Great Dane is large, he is fine living inside with you and your family. He will be happy being near you curled up on a bed every day, as long as you exercise him enough. His bed should be cushy enough to keep him from rubbing against the floor, which can cause joint damage. Keeping your Great Dane inside will also allow you to provide him with enough love and affection, which is essential for this breed. He will act out if he doesn't receive enough love and affection. Your Great Dane can live outside, but you have to make sure you spend enough time with him outside or he will act out.
Summary:
Socialize him. Exercise your dog. Provide comfortable living arrangements.
