INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you address the other person directly, your email stands out more. You can do this by mentioning the person's name or by using the words "you" and "your." These words are direct, conversational, and encourage the recipient to open the email. For example, start the subject line with a phrase like "Hey Bill!" or "Did you call yet?" If you don't know the person's name, you can reference a personal detail like the recipient's location. For instance, say, "Best restaurants in your city." It's important to relay urgency as soon as possible. Encourage the reader to click on the email by including a call to action or a reference to scarcity. These tactics suggest that the reader needs to act right away to benefit from the email. For instance, use words and phrases like "Hurry!" or "24 hours left" to call the reader to act now. Hint that something is limited, such as by saying, "This item is flying off the shelves." Follow up the urgent word with a clear picture of what the reader should expect inside the email. Use action-oriented words to suggest how the reader should respond. Make sure you keep the subject line clear and concise so the title isn't confusing. For example, you can say something like, "Hurry! It's a sale." You can also explain the email through numbers. For instance, say, "5 ways to reduce your electric bill." A question can be a great way of hinting at what is inside your email. The question has to be relevant to the reader. It should reference an urgent event or a subject the reader needs to know, encouraging them to read the email right away. For example, you can say something like, "Last chance - have you ordered your tickets yet?" Another example is, "How can you be more productive today?"

SUMMARY: Refer to the recipient in your subject line. Use urgent language in the subject line. Hint at what is inside the email. Ask the reader a question for an alternative way to be engaging.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: All programs will appear on the Dock while they are open. Quit the application first so you can tell when you've successfully removed it from the Dock. A program is open if it has a small dot next to the Dock icon, even if no windows are open. Right-click the icon (or hold Control and click}) and select "Quit" or "Force Quit" to close the program. Click and hold the program icon on your Dock. Drag the icon at least a third of the way across the screen, away from the Dock. Don't release the mouse button right away, or the program will just jump back to the Dock. Wait until the program icon turns transparent. (You might see other visual indicators on some versions of OS X, such as the word "Remove" or a little cloud appearing over the icon.) If nothing happens to the icon, move it farther from the Dock. An animation resembling a poof of smoke will indicate that the program icon has been removed from the Dock. You can also use a drop down menu to remove an item from the Dock: Right-click the icon (or hold down Control and click). Hover over "Options." Select "Remove from Dock." If the Options sub-menu says "Keep in Dock" as well, the program is open. Click "Keep in Dock" to uncheck that option, and the program will disappear from the Dock once you close it.

SUMMARY: Quit the program. Drag the icon off the Dock and across the screen. Wait a couple of seconds. Release the mouse button. Use the right-click menu instead.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: to show confidence. By practicing the physical act of appearing confident, you will actually start to feel more confident. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, hold your chin up, relax your shoulders, and breathe deeply. This will naturally make you seem more attractive to anyone who's around you. The more you practice good posture, the more natural it will feel. Speaking slowly gives other people the impression that you're confident and knowledgeable. You will also seem more authoritative if you slightly lower your vocal range as you speak. When you're telling a story, think about each sentence and how it relates to what you're saying. Don't be afraid to leave a pause between sentences while you're speaking. It seems more confident than using filler words like "um" or "like." People who are more physically engaged while they're speaking seem more confident than those who do not. Gesture with your hands to emphasize strong points. Think about how to use your body to convey a message. For instance, you could lean forward and rest your hand on your chin when you're interested in what someone else is saying. No matter what you look like, you'll be the most attractive when you're happy with how you look. Wear clothes that make you feel comfortable. If you wear makeup, play up the features that you like the most. Alpha males are attracted to confidence, and wearing too much makeup can make you seem insecure. Keep your makeup natural-looking on most of your face. If you do go bold, emphasize one feature of your face at a time. For instance, if you wear a bold red lip, opt for a subtle smoky eye and subtle eyeliner. If you go for a dramatic winged liner and dark eyeshadow, try pairing it with a nude lip and a little blush. Smelling good can make you seem more attractive. A little goes a long way, though. Spritz a little of the fragrance on your wrists, then touch your wrists to your neck to transfer the scent.

SUMMARY:
Practice good posture Speak slowly and clearly to show self-assurance. Use your hands when you talk. Wear clothes that make you feel good about yourself. Keep your makeup subtle if you wear any. Spray on a little perfume, cologne, or body spray before you leave the house.
