Words Live Longer Than You Ever Will!

-
Do you remember what you said to your high school friends 7years ago? Do you think they still do too? Well, don’t be surprised, they do! One of my best friends in high school chatted me up sometime ago after seeing a picture I uploaded on my WhatsApp status, and asked if it was someone (she mentioned name). I was surprised she knew the person, but, well, humans are likened to water and they can meet at any point. The shocker came with her reply of how I had told her something about the person during our high school years (that's 8 years ago!) Do you still need a reminder that your words are ageless and can live till eternity? Well, remember the quotes of icons, men and women who have died over 10 years ago, and read this post again, maybe you will you will agree with my assertion. Words, they say, are like eggs, which once broken cannot be amended to its original state. He who bridles his tongue, is a just man, says the Bible. Take cognizance of what you say, especially when it is becoming a spew (you know those times anger sets in), most importantly to EVERYONE and particularly loved ones or the younger one coming behind you. The younger ones will always always remember how you treat them and what you say to them. Who knows where one's blessings or those of one's children will come from years to come? Words live longer than you can imagine, than you can ever live. So when speaking your words, ensure they are for the right cause so when they live after you, they bless you and not bring you curses and woes. Have a wonderful Monday! By Layo Sobo

By:   Deborah Brown Have you given up on your dreams? Would you like to get them back? Many of us give up on our dreams. Often our dreams slip away without our even realizing it. Our dreams are who we are. They give us an incentive to get out of bed everyday. They are the reason we were born, and our destiny to fulfill while we are here. They are within your grasp. And yes, they can come true. It's up to you to decide if they will. What can you do if you've given up on your dreams? Follow these easy steps: Remember you are worth it. You deserve to live your dreams. Recognizing this is the hardest and most necessary step. Most of us think that only other people get to live their dreams. Only other people are lucky enough, not us. We think we don't deserve it but the only thing these thoughts do is keep us from moving forward. Remember that your dreams are important. Once you know how important living your dreams is to your health and mental well being, then yo

7 Effective Ways to Develop Your Negotiation Skills

1. Practise Saying ‘No’ Human beings are programmed to be non-confrontational. From a young age, we’re taught to follow orders or else get punished, and as adults, we’re taught the same thing. Time and again, we’re told to ‘let it go’ and ‘just go with the flow’ so we don’t upset the client or the boss. This lifelong habit of avoiding confrontation and just saying ‘yes’ weakens your negotiation skills. But not to worry; you can still reprogramme your mind by practising saying ‘no’. You can start with something small like going home on time or refusing to work extra hours, especially if you’re already raking in too much overtime. If that seems like a big step for you, then you can start by saying ‘no’ to that annoying colleague who loves sabotaging your healthy eating habits by tempting you with a piece of chocolate cake. These might seem like small steps, but taking the opportunity to say ‘no’ to minor instances will help you say ‘no’ to bigger things – whether it’s
