Hey Everyone,

Anxious as the school year draws to an end?

Here's help for you and your children

Know And Understand How To 
             
              Bust Exam Stress 

With These

Helpful Tips

IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR again the exams are around the corner and there's a cloud of stress hanging in the air at home. Here are some effective strategies that will help you and your child stay on top.

Develop Smart learning methods

Encourage creative learning.

We often equate hard work with the number of hours a child puts in. But it's really the quality of learning that makes the difference. Active Learning methods such as reading aloud, helping others learn,brainstorming, recording and listening ( for auditory learners), highlighting, mind mapping, making notes and diagrams ( for visual learners ) and movement, walking around, dribbling the ball ( for kinaesthetic learners ) or maybe a mix of all these can help the brain absorb the information efficiently.

Let them take a break

Each child is wired differently some need breaks every hour, while others can stay focussed for hours. A break will help energize the overloaded brain.

A high-protein or unprocessed carb snack ,  a jog in the park or listening to music refreshes the brain , preparing it for further learning and retention. Once in a while, take long breaks - a meal at a restaurant or a good movie is okay. These will keep your child feeling upbeat and prepare  for the long haul.


Change TICs to TOCs 

Task interfering cognitions (TICs) - " This is boring," " I don't want to do it now," "I will do it later"- can lead to deprivation and chronic procrastination. 

So help your kid to embrace TOCs (task-orienting cognitions)-"I am going to have fun doing these maths problems," "I am going to stay focussed and get this done," to keep the energy and motivation alive.

Remove Distractions.

Sit down with him / her and identify them.

It could be the TV, mobile phones, social media , music , gaming consoles. Your Child will try and convince you that multitasking makes him / her focus better. But research shows that this is a myth , listen calmly but take a clear stand.


Help your kids visualize

Before the exams, help your child visualize the exam morning- every detail from the travel to the exam centre, walking in, meeting friends, sitting down and going through the question paper. Let him / her see themselves answering the questions with complete confidence and alertness. Research has shown that visualizing prepares the brain in advance for affirmative action.

Ensure enough sleep

It helps the over wrought brain recover, improving concentration and focus. A high-protein breakfast wakes the brain up like nothing else can.

Work on yourself so you don't lose your nerve.

Avoid nagging. If you feel your child is not putting in enough effort, sit down and have a chat with him / her, Listen, empathize with her struggles and together, work out a plan that will help het stay on track, remember, kids will do well if they are given the support they need.

Create an and, comfortable atmosphere at home

Exams do not mean gloom and drudgery. Make space for fun, laughter , playfulness , good food and music. 

The happier the child, the more effectively the child will be able to learn.

Keep the bigger picture in mind.

Stay calm and emphasize sustained effort,perseverance and determination. Focus on building character, not grades.

In the long run, that is all that really matters.

Hey Everyone!

Know And Understand How Even The 

Hardest 

Of Hearts 

Can Melt

From turning down the music to snacking on fish, the latest research on how to improve your ability learn

In  all likelihood,you've had a less than-pleasant encounter with a narcissist at some point. Notoriously selfish and vain,people with this personality type are known for their inability to feel empathy. 

But there's hope for them yet! In 2014,researchers at England's University of Southampton developed an encouraging work around for those who lacked compassion: encourage them to adopt the perspective of the sufferer.

When lead researcher Erica Hepper and her colleagues showed subjects a video of a woman describing her experiences of physical violence,watching alone failed to trigger an appropriate response.

But when they prompted participants to put themselves in the woman's shoes,even those who scored as" high narcissists" expressed genuine concern and sympathy.So the next time a callous acquaintance refuses to see your side of things,take heart:itappears that, with a little guidance even the least tender among us can improve their empathetic abilities.

Know And Understand Why Struggles in life Help us Grow And Make Us Stronger

Hey Everyone,

  Know And Understand

Why Struggles In  Life

 Help Us Grow

And 

Become Stronger

Today I am going to share a story,Hope you will like this :) 

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.

One day a small opening appeared.

He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.

Until it suddenly stopped making any progress and looked like it was stuck.

So the man decided to help the butterfly.

He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.

The butterfly then emerged easily, although it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.

The man didn’t think anything of it and sat there waiting for the wings to enlarge to support the butterfly. But that didn’t happen.

The butterfly spent the rest of its life unable to fly,crawling around with tiny wings and a swollen body.

Despite the kind heart of the man, he didn’t understand that the restricting cocoon and the struggle needed by the butterfly to get itself through the small opening;were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings.

To prepare itself for flying once it was out of the cocoon.

Moral of the story:

Our struggles in life develop our strengths. 

Without struggles, we never grow and never get stronger, so it’s important for us to tackle challenges on our own, and not be relying on help from others.

Talk to you soon ,

Hope you enjoyed reading this ;)

Everyone Or Every Enterprise Needs To Innovate.

Hey Everyone!,

Innovation Isn’t About Ideas

It’s about solving problems and doing hard things first

Every enterprise needs to innovate. It doesn’t matter whether you’re are a profit-seeking business, a nonprofit organization, or a government entity. The simple truth is that every business model fails eventually, because conditions change over time. We have to manage not for stability, but for disruption — that, or face irrelevance.

There is no shortage of advice on how to go about it. In fact, there is far too much advice. Design thinkers will tell you to focus on the end user, but Harvard’s Clayton Christensen says that listening to customers too much is how good businesses fail. Then there’s open innovation, lean startups, and on and on it goes.

The truth is that there is no one path to innovation. Everybody has to find their own way. Just because someone had success with one strategy doesn’t mean it’s right for the problem you need to solve. So the best advice is to gather as many tools for your toolbox as you can.

Here are four facts about innovation that you’ll rarely hear, though they’re critically important.

1. Your Success Often Works Against You

For the most part, managers aren’t responsible for innovation. As the title implies, they’re responsible for managing operations. That involves hiring and empowering strong employees, optimizing practices and processes, and reducing errors and mistakes. Managers aren’t generally trying to build a better mousetrap; they’re trying to run things smoothly and efficiently.

It’s easy for someone to stand up on stage at a conference and paint operational managers as dimwits with their heads in the sand. But managing a quality operation is a tough job that requires talent, dedication, and skill. So unless you’ve actually done the job, don’t be too quick to judge.

However, managers do need to realize that there is a fundamental trade-off between innovating and optimizing operations. Running efficient operations requires standardization and control to yield predictable outcomes. Innovation, on the other hand requires experimentation. It means trying a lot of new things, most of which are going to fail.

That’s why success so often leads to failure. What makes you successful in one competitive environment will likely be a hindrance when things change. So you need to find a healthy balance between squeezing everything you can out of the present, while still leaving room to create and build for the future.

2. Look For A Hair-On-Fire Use Case

Good operational managers learn to identify large addressable markets. Bigger markets help you scale your business, drive revenues, and allow you invest back into operations to create more efficiency. Greater efficiencies lead to fatter profit margins, which allow you to invest even more in improvements, creating a virtuous cycle.

Yet, when you’re trying to do something truly new and different, trying to scale too fast can kill your business before it’s even gotten started. A truly revolutionary product is unpredictable because, by its very nature, it’s not well understood. Charging boldly into the unknown is a sure way to run into unanticipated problems that are expensive to fix at scale.

Innovation is never a single event. It is a long process of discovery, engineering, and transformation.

A better strategy is to identify a hair-on-fire use case — someone who needs a problem fixed so badly that they are willing to overlook the inevitable glitches. They will help you identify shortcomings early and correct them. Once you get things ironed out, you can begin to scale for more ordinary use cases.

For example, developing a self-driving car is a risky proposition with a dizzying amount of variables you can’t account for. However, a remote mine in Western Australia, where drivers are scarce and traffic nonexistent, is an ideal place to test and improve the technology. In a similar vein, Google Glass failed utterly as a mass product, but is getting a second life as an industrial tool. Sometimes it’s better to build for the few than the many.

3. Start With the Monkey

When I work with executives, they often have a breakthrough idea that excites them. They begin to tell me what a great opportunity it is and how they are perfectly positioned to capitalize on it. However, when I dig deeper, there’s always a major barrier to making it happen. When I ask about that, they shut down.

Make no mistake. Innovation isn’t about ideas, it’s about solving problems. The truth is that nobody cares about your ideas, they care about the problems you can solve for them. The reason most people can’t innovate isn’t because they don’t have ideas, but because they lack the perseverance needed to stick with a really tough problem until it’s cracked.

At Google X, the tech giant’s “moonshot factory,” the mantra is #MonkeyFirst. The idea is that if you want to get a monkey to recite Shakespeare on a pedestal, you start by training the monkey, not building the pedestal. Because training the monkey is the hard part. Anyone can build a pedestal.

The problem is that most people start with the pedestal, because it’s what they know. And by building it, they can show early progress against a timeline. Unfortunately, building a pedestal gets you nowhere. Unless you can actually train the monkey, working on the pedestal is wasted effort.

4. Sometimes the World Isn’t Ready Yet

When Alexander Fleming first published his discovery of penicillin, no one really noticed. When Xerox executives first got a look at the Alto — the machine that would become the model for the Macintosh seven years later — they didn’t see what the big deal was. When Jim Allison first showed pharmaceutical executives his idea for cancer immunotherapy, not one would invest in it.

We always think the next big thing will be obvious, but in truth, it often starts out looking like nothing at all. When something truly has the power to change the world, the world isn’t ready for it. It needs to build advocacy, gain traction among a particular industry or field, and combine with other innovations before it can make an impact.

But no one ever tells you that. We’re conditioned to think that someone like Steve Jobs or Elon Musk stands up on stage, announces that the world has changed, and everybody just goes along. It never really happens that way because innovation is never a single event. It is a long process of discovery, engineering, and transformation that usually takes about 30 years.

“Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas,” said the computing pioneer Howard Aiken. “If your ideas are any good, you’ll have to ram them down people’s throats.” Never were truer words spoken. Great innovators aren’t just people with ideas. They’re people willing to stick it out and take the shots from people who ridicule them. Eventually, if they’re lucky, they really do change the world.

Hey Everyone!,

How Exercise Can Boost Our Brain

Memory,Think Better And Ability To 

Learn 

From turning down the music to snacking on fish, the latest research on how to improve your ability learn

• The hippocampus is critical for learning new concepts. It's also one of only two brain structures where shiny new neurons are born in adulthood. Aerobic exercise not only stimulates the burst of new brain cells, but more neurons survive when you exercise.

• The hippocampus has also been implicated in imagination. When you strengthen that structure through exercise, you enhance a core component in the act of creativity. You start thinking outside the box more.

• Increased exercise improves our attention. If you can't focus,you may not be able to remember how to perform a new skill.

• You don't need to be a triathlete in some subjects, eight weeks of moderate exercise twice a week was enough to elevate mood and activate their brains.

• You can broaden your notion of what constitutes exercise. Walking up the street is aerobic. Dancing to you favourite song is aerobic. If you really want to be practical, speed housework  is a great work out, and you'll be done faster.
