In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Maybe you are interacting with a new person. Or perhaps you are trying to get a better sense of someone who is already part of your life. Judging someone's character can help you understand them, and noticing how they communicate is helpful. Pay attention to the amount of talking that is being done. Is the person you are evaluating speaking more than anyone else in the room? If the conversation seems very one-sided, it is possible that the person you are observing is not a very good listener. Controlling the conversation could also be a sign that the person is somewhat domineering. These might not be traits that you enjoy being around. A person's body language is a good indicator of some personality traits. For example, maybe you notice that very little eye contact occurs when you speak to that person. That can indicate a few different things. Refusing to make eye contact might indicate timidity. It could also indicate dishonesty or insecurity. You can also use a person's handshake to evaluate their personality. A firm handshake indicates confidence. A handshake that crushes your hand might indicate a need to dominate. A very weak handshake can indicate lack of interest. Pay attention to how other people react to the person you are evaluating. The energy level in the room can help you figure out some key things about someone's character. Observe how the vibe changes when the new person enters the room. Does the room suddenly seem quiet and uncomfortable? It might be that the person makes others somewhat uneasy. Perhaps the room seems lighter and happier. Maybe the person you are observing makes others feel at ease. That could indicate kindness. Does this person seem to give energy or to suck it in? It is always better to add to energy rather than deplete it. Ask yourself if you would be comfortable taking a long car trip with this person. That can help you figure out how you feel about them. Trust is an important part of any good relationship. This is true for personal and professional relationships. When you are judging someone's character, take some steps to figure out if they are trustworthy. Take a look at their track record. Past performance is sometimes an indicator of future actions. For example, maybe you are considering dating someone who you know cheated on an ex. Mistakes do happen, and people often deserve a second chance. But keep all relevant information in mind when forming an opinion. Do you have a co-worker who is routinely late? If you cannot rely on someone to be on time, you might not be able to trust them with greater responsibility. Give people a chance to prove you can trust them. For example, if you have a new friend, see how she reacts when you tell her some sensitive information. If she's kind and a good listener, she could be trustworthy. Unfortunately, you will sometimes have to be around people who do not have good characteristics. You might have to figure out how to deal with someone who is dishonest, or just plain rude. Learning to cope with people who aren't nice can help you feel more comfortable about those interactions. Keep in mind that you can control your reactions. Just because someone else is mean does not mean that you have to behave in kind. For example, if a co-worker makes a snide remark about your cluttered desk, just say something non-committal. Try, "Yes, I guess I've been so busy I haven't had much time to straighten up." Look at the reason's behind someone's bad attitude. Does your sister continuously belittle your choice to not have kids? It's possible that she is jealous that you can take a vacation whenever you want. Remember that compassion is always a good choice. Try to be kind, even when others are not.
Summary: Consider the communication style. Pay attention to body language. Notice the energy in the room. Decide if you can trust the person. Handle someone who is not nice.

Inserting the disc will open the game's channel, allowing you to start it by pressing the button on your screen. Make sure that you insert the disc the correct direction, with the label facing up.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Although it is certainly fine to go get a drink of water now and then throughout your work day, what can get you in trouble is heading over thereor to any break room situationwhen other coworkers are gathered there. The water cooler has become the symbol for communicating office gossip, and steering clear of it can prevent you from getting embroiled in the politics you are trying to avoid. Opt for water breaks when the cooler isn't surrounded, or for breaks when the break room is empty. To further fortify your avoidance of politics, be strict about who you take breaks with in general, limiting your lunches to trusted coworkers. If you do your research before you get started on a project, you can avoid crossing boundaries into interpersonal issues. For example, if you are assigned to a project without asking any questions and you encounter a problem a couple of days later, you can upset the office equilibrium if you ask the wrong coworker for help. Get all your instructions from the get-go. Ask lots of questions when you get a project. Even go so far as to ask the boss or supervisor for a meeting so that you can ensure that you aren't impinging on their work time. Ask the person who assigned you project who they prefer you ask questions of before starting the project. This can minimize offense if you go to someone your boss doesn't like. In order to stay out of office disputes and politics, you have to not care what they think. Getting in the mix and defending yourself can just add fuel to the gossip fire, not to mention create a reputation for yourself of being a time waster. Recognize that work isn't about who is most well-liked, like it was in high school. Coworkers who form cliques are bad examples, so stay away from them. Instead of worrying about what coworkers like you, focus on doing a good job. If you're looking for a promotion, the best way to ensure one is to perform high-quality work. A diligent worker does not need to degrade others or pit people against one another in order to advance, because a good performance speaks for itself. Some office politics are related to disputes about who deserves a promotion or more power in the workplace. Stay out of these conversations and build up your reputation as a hard worker.
Summary:
Avoid the water cooler. Get clear instructions on new projects. Push aside worries about what others think. Work hard.
