How to make people happy~


It's about time we learn how to make people happy. Who says the world has to live under gray skies all the time? Besides, we need a bit of cheering up. And the world will definitely become a better place if we all did our part in keeping our neighbors cheerful.

If you want to learn how to make people happy, read this article.

Happiness Tip # 1: Be Happy Yourself.

You can't make others happy if you're wallowing in depression yourself! And even if you do succeed in making someone happy, that joy won't last long when they see how miserable you are.

The guilt will set in and before you know it, that person is just as unhappy as you are. Besides, knowing what makes you smile and laugh will help a lot when it comes to determining what makes other people tick.

Happiness Tip # 2: Give A Surprise Gift.

A proven way on how to make people happy is by sending them a totally unexpected present. You don't have to buy them a car to make them glad. Little things like a cup of coffee or a slice of cake does wonders for a weary soul. The fact that it's unexpected only adds to the experience.

Happiness Tip # 3: Smile.

Smiling is very important when it comes to learning how to make people happy. This works well not only for people you know, but also for strangers on the street.

Happiness is infectious and when you're smiling, most people can't help but smile back at you. You may not think it's a lot, but one smile is like a shot of sunshine to a person.

Just make sure you're putting on a genuine smile because people will know if you're faking it. If you find it difficult to put on a "real" smile, just think of your favorite things or experiences when you're smiling to someone.

Happiness Tip # 4: Accept Them For Who They Are.

Sometimes, learning how to make people happy is as easy as accepting them. There are a lot of insecure people in the world. You yourself might also harbor a few uncertainties of your own. Imagine what it would feel like if somebody went up to you and told you that they like you just the way you are.

Happiness Tip # 5: Listen To What They Say.

Listening is also part of cultivating happiness. It acts as therapy for those who just need someone to be there. Listening to others also makes them feel like they're worth something.

Learning how to make people happy doesn't have a set formula. Everybody is different and responds to different things. However, these tips mentioned above cut across most barriers. Check each one out and see what works best for you.

Fitness exercise Program~~~





Believe it or not, there are millions of people all over the world that are trying all sorts of things in order to get healthy and lose weight but without following a fitness exercise program. Trying to lose weight and get healthy without a fitness exercise program is almost like trying to gain weight without food. It does not make sense. The only way for a person to be able to shed off all those unwanted extra pounds is by burning up the calories in their body. Burning up the calories in your body cannot be easily done by simply eating less food or by just changing your diet. You will have to go on a proper diet and this diet must be accompanied by a proper fitness exercise program if you want to reach your goal.


So, why should you follow a fitness exercise program?



•First and foremost, anything that has to be done well in this world needs a proper plan of action to be followed through to the end. Without a plan you will not be able to keep track of your progress. Having a fitness exercise program will make sure that you work every part of your body with the correct intensity and order.


•With the help of a fitness exercise program, you will know exactly how to work out your body. Some people want to lose weight but just do not have a clue as to when they should do what exercise and exactly how to do each exercise. It is hopeless to do the exercises you need without knowing how to do them properly. You will need a proper fitness exercise program that will guide you through each and every step of the way and teach you how to do the exercises that are necessary to burn those calories.


•With the correct kind of fitness exercise program, you will be able to use up the calories that need to be burnt to lose weight. For you to be able to shed off those unwanted pounds of fat, you need to make sure that your body is burning more calories than you are eating.


•Without a proper exercise program you may just be going for jogs in the evening and reaching home all sweaty and tired but in the end discovering that you have not achieved your goal. A proper program will let you know how many calories a certain workout regimen will get rid of and in what approximated amount of time. You will know that in two weeks this is the progress you should see and in a month another step and so on and so forth.


If you are really serious about getting in shape and being healthy again then it is time for you to stop considering whether or not you need a fitness exercise program. It is necessary and you should get one today.

Neck Creammm~

Neck creams that are specifically designed to reduce things like turkey neck and deeply enriched wrinkles are relatively new on the anti aging and skin care scene and are quickly becoming a regular part of many people's anti aging routine. One of the best methods of gaining the information necessary to find the best neck cream is to search for a consumer driven website dedicated to neck cream reviews. A well put together and informative neck cream review is one of the most invaluable methods of finding the best neck treatment for you but even still there are things to watch out for when gathering the information needed.
A trustworthy neck cream review should first off; be written and maintained by actual consumers and people who bought, used and liked or disliked a specific neck cream. A review should contain a completely unbiased perspective on a product including its effectiveness, any positive and negative reactions that may have occurred, the length of time in which results can be expected and whether or not they'd recommend the product to anyone else.
Another big factor in determining which neck cream review to trust is upon finding a website dedicated to reviews, there should be an exposé on a multitude of products not just two or three. You are going to want to be able to compare and contrast as many neck creams as possible as to accurately make an educated decision. Avoid websites that have minimal reviews as they are often websites put up by the parent company of a reviewed product meaning that the reviews are most likely tainted by biased comments.
A neck cream review should also be written from the point of someone who has actually used the product, not someone re writing published information or results from clinical trials. Reviews that have a heavy sales pitch should also be avoided. You don't want to be sold on something that you're not sure about, you want information so you can make the right choice and pick the best neck cream for you.
Neck cream reviews definitely play an important part in f inding the best neck cream as well as identifying which products to avoid. Make sure you read as many neck cream reviews as the internet has to offer and compare and contrast. Weed out the products that have poor reviews, leaving you with only the absolute best to choose from.

Easy tips to improve our memory~

We all face changes as we age even slightly. I fall into the middle-age category and I can already see a difference in my own abilities to remember things. It is frustrating and annoying to forget and we are all faced with hectic schedules and too many things to do on top of it. I have always said that I would not be able to keep a job without taking notes and I find that it is becoming truer everyday. This is part of what I have learned in my quest to maintain and improve memory skills.
You may recall this technique from school, called Mnemonics. These improvement techniques are simple and can prove to be quite enjoyable once you see how much you are improving.
One part of mnemonics is called the Loci System and it is easy enough to put into practice on a daily basis.
If you need to remember five things on your daily round of errands, for example you can use the following. What needs to be remembered is the place and the order of locations within them. Your location could be the bedroom, kitchen or Local Park; it does not matter as long as you can easily recall the location.
Let us use this as an example: your locations are the coffeemaker, the sink, the recipe book and the chair. The items you need to remember are: umbrella, fish food, dry-cleaning and gym shoes. To associate your items you need to imagine them in familiar places but weird ways. The more offbeat and amusing your connections are, the easier they will be to retain.
To continue with our example, as you pass the coffeemaker it spits out a torrent of umbrellas at you. When you near the sink you see fish swimming around inside looking hungry. The recipe book on the counter is open to a page showing shiny clean clothing. The chair has legwarmers on and is obviously heading off to the gym.
Yes, it is very silly but it has been proven effective time and time again. Give the Loci System a try and you will see how easy and simple it is.

Is there any benefits of junk food???

Can JUNK FOOD provide nutrition?

Junk food is perceived to have poor nutritional value; and fails to add any health benefits to an individual's diet. The term was coined in 1972, by Michael Jacobson, director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Street food and fast food fall under the category of junk food. Apart from adding empty calories, it spoils the digestive system, hence jeopardizes the absolute health of the body. But, what if an individual's body is deficient in fats and carbohydrates, can junk food provide nutrition?
Healthy junk food is not an oxymoron; take the example of chocolate that is high in fat content, cocoa the main ingredient in chocolate provides flavenoids (antioxidants), which provides defense against heart disease and cancer. It contains endorphins, which provides physiological benefits of euphoria and prevents depression.
Salsa is yet another junk food, but can add terrific nutritional content, particularly if it is organic. Two tablespoons contain 0gms of fat and 10 calories. It contains Lycopene, which prevents cancer. When used with grilled chicken, eggs, potatoes and salads, not only enhance our taste buds, but also add to the nutritional value to the food preparation.
Tortilla chips contain 0 cholesterol, 7g of fat and 140 cal. Natural sunflower, corn and soybean oils are used in its preparation, these oils contain healthy polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats that lowers the LDL (bad) cholesterol and maintains optimal levels of HDL (good) cholesterol.
According to the Third National Health And Nutritional Examination Survey, two-thirds of teenage girls who are trying to eat "healthy" by avoiding junk foods are deficient in iron, calcium and other essential nutrients Eating disorders have increased five-fold amongst children aged between 8-13, and children as young as5 are developing anorexia.
"Many teenage girls, already the most poorly nourished of any group in America, have stopped drinking milk or eating meat in their extreme fear of fat." Frances Berg, MS (Author of Women Afraid to Eat)
Fig cookies contain 0gms fat, 60 calories and plenty of calcium important for healthy bones and teeth.
Biscotti are low-calorie, low-fat cookies, containing 3g Protein, 2% Vitamin A, 2% Calcium and 4% Iron, essential nutrients for an absolute health.
Market surveys indicate Australians prefer healthier takeaways. Fast foods that are relatively low -fat and low-sodium include; pizzas with less cheese and meat, skinless chicken, grilled chicken, grilled fish burgers, grilled lean meat hamburgers and Souvlaki.
Pork rinds are puffy snacks that contain 0 carbohydrates, 17 g protein, 9 g fat, 43% oleic acid (unsaturated fat present in olive oil) and13% stearic acid (harmless saturated fat).
To satisfy your sweet tooth indulge in evaporated cane juice, brown rice syrup, barley malt syrup, beet sugar, date sugar, agaves nectar, stevia, and maple syrup.
Harvard scientists discovered that those who consumed alcohol twice a day each week, had the lowest risk of heart attack
Always avoid foods cooked in hydrogenated oil; it corrupts the nervous system. Instead, focus on foods cooked in olive oil, mustard oil, sunflower oil and grapeseed oil.
Don't refute junk food, but eat them occasionally. Some junk foods are plain unhealthy, and there are healthier choices to them in fresh and natural food forms like carrots, apples, almonds and orange. You're children can lavishly enjoy these junk food, if you make them healthy by adding more vegetables and fruits.

7 TIPS for effective listening: productive listening does not occur naturally. It requires hard work and practice .

1. CONCENTRATE ON WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING. When listening to someone, do you often find yourself thinking about a job or task that is nearing deadline or an important family matter? In the middle of a conversation, do you sometimes realize that you haven't heard a word the other person has said? Most individuals speak at the rate of 175 to 200 words per minute. However, research suggests that we are very capable of listening and processing words at the rate of 600 to 1,000 words per minute. An internal auditor's job today is very fast and complex, and because the brain does not use all of its capacity when listening, an auditor's mind may drift to thinking of further questions or explanations rather than listening to the message at hand. This unused brainpower can be a barrier to effective listening, causing the auditor to miss or misinterpret what others are saying. It is important for internal auditors to actively concentrate on what others are saying so that effective communication can occur.

2. SEND THE NONVERBAL MESSAGE THAT YOU ARE LISTENING. When someone is talking to you, do you maintain eye contact with that person? Do you show the speaker you are listening by nodding your head? Does your body language transmit the message that you are listening? Are you leaning forward and not using your hands to play with things? Most communication experts agree that nonverbal messages can be three times as powerful as verbal messages. Effective communication becomes difficult anytime you send a nonverbal message that you're not really listening.
3. AVOID EARLY EVALUATIONS. When listening, do you often make immediate judgments about what the speaker is saying? Do you assume or guess what the speaker is going to say next? Do you sometimes discover later that you failed to interpret correctly what the speaker was telling you? Because a listener can listen at a faster rate than most speakers talk, there is a tendency to evaluate too quickly. That tendency is perhaps the greatest barrier to effective listening. It is especially important to avoid early evaluations when listening to a person with whom you disagree. When listeners begin to disagree with a sender's message, they tend to misinterpret the remaining information and distort its intended meaning so that it is consistent with their own beliefs.

4. AVOID GETTING DEFENSIVE. Do you ever take what another person says personally when what her or she is saying is not meant to be personal? Do you ever become angry at what another person says? Careful listening does not mean that you will always agree with the other party's point of view, but it does mean that you will try to listen to what the other person is saying without becoming overly defensive. Too much time spent explaining, elaborating, and defending your decision or position is a sure sign that you are not listening. This is because your role has changed from one of listening to a role of convincing others they are wrong. After listening to a position or suggestion with which you disagree, simply respond with something like, "I understand your point. We just disagree on this one." Effective listeners can listen calmly to another person even when that person is offering unjust criticism.

5. PRACTICE PARAPHRASING. Paraphrasing is the art of putting into your own words what you thought you heard and saying it back to the sender. For example, a subordinate might say: "You have been unfair to rate me so low on my performance appraisal. You have rated me lower than Jim. I can do the job better than him, and I've been here longer." A paraphrased response might be: "I can see that you are upset about your rating. You think it was unfair for me to rate you as I did." Paraphrasing is a great technique for improving your listening and problem-solving skills. First, you have to listen very carefully if you are going to accurately paraphrase what you heard. Second, the paraphrasing response will clarify for the sender that his or her message was correctly received and encourage the sender to expand on what he or she is trying to communicate.

6. LISTEN (AND OBSERVE) FOR FEELINGS. When listening, do you concentrate just on the words that are being said, or do you also concentrate on the way they are being said? The way a speaker is standing, the tone of voice and inflection he or she is using, and what the speaker is doing with his or her hands are all part of the message that is being sent. A person who raises his or her voice is probably either angry or frustrated. A person looking down while speaking is probably either embarrassed or shy. Interruptions may suggest fear or lack of confidence. Persons who make eye contact and lean forward are likely exhibiting confidence. Arguments may reflect worry. Inappropriate silence may be a sign of aggression and be intended as punishment.

7. ASK QUESTIONS. Do you usually ask questions when listening to a message? Do you try to clarify what a person has said to you? Effective listeners make certain they have correctly heard the message that is being sent. Ask questions to clarify points or to obtain additional information. Open-ended questions are the best. They require the speaker to convey more information. Form your questions in a way that makes it clear you have not yet drawn any conclusions. This will assure the message sender that you are only interested in obtaining more and better information. And the more information that you as a listener have, the better you can respond to the sender's communication.

Read this if u are a INSOMNIAC~



Since Im so interested in the knowledge of nutrition and health care things,so Im going to post a article that is all about the benefit of ''cherry''!!

Cherries have anti-inflammatory compounds that can soothe arthritis and gout,and new research now suggests they may also be the answer to a good night's sleep.Sour cherries are one of the few foods known to have naturally occurring melatonin,the chemical that regulates the body's circadian rhythm and sleep patterns.
''Very few foods have been tested for melatonin content,''says Dr Russell Reiter,a melatonin expert and professor of neuroendocrinology at the University of Texas Health Science Center. ''But as we know sour cherries have substantial amounts.They are on the high end of the scale.''
For a late-night snack, try cherry jam on toast.Research suggests melatonin works best when consumed in the hour before bedtime.

Since amount of the words are not enough for the demand,here are some additional joke~lets relax~~

Three tradesmen are arguing about the world's oldest trade."We built the pyramids,which are very ancient, so ours is the oldest trade,"says the stonemason.
"Nonsense,"retorts the carpenter."Noah's ark,the most notable creation of our trade,was built long before the pyramids."
Without doubt ours is the most ancient trade,"declares the electrician."When God said Let there be light!',we had already laid a cable."


I don't know why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day.When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short,chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon.


A young boy walks into the room carrying an armchair under one arm and a sofa under the other."Where did you get that?"asks his father."From a man in the park,"says the little boy."What have I been telling you about taking suites from strangers?"
