Hey Everyone!,

Know Facts About 

First Impressions

Second Chance

One never gets a second chance,the saying goes,to make a fist impression.It turns out may not ever get that. Within seconds of seeing someone's face you unconsciously make decisions that will influence your interactions.

Moments

Those moments are difficult to overcome says University of Toronto psychology professor Nicholas Role "Every time you see someone even if it's someone you really know, you're making that first impression again."

Influence

You can influence a few impression by wearing glasses,which imply intelligence,or facial piercings,rebelliousness but research shows that a a face can retain same characteristics no matter  how it's presented.

Smile More

Older faces are more telling than young ones. After decades of frowning,for example,a senior's muscles adapt an agrier baseline expression. So smile more-it won't hurt in the short term either.

Looking Young

Yet another benfit of looking young. Leslie Zebrowitz of Brandeis University , USA has concluded that "babyfaceness" correlates to the Likelihood of winning a court case.

First Seconds

What happens after the first seconds?. A firm handshake is important but dont discount vulnerability and humility, which will encourage authentic interaction.

Body Language

Be conscious of body language. Don't cross your arms,don't slouch or fidget, and maintain eye contact and nod to indicate you're paying attention. 

Ask Someone

"The best way to know what sort of first impression you're making is to ask someone you trust." Rule says, explaining that for all the time we spend assessing others,we're poor judges of ourselves.

Digital

Ditch Digital for the real thing.According to a trio of 2014 University of British Columbia studies we make better first impressions face to face, than through pictures or videos.

Tweaking

Stop tweaking that facebook profile."Online people try to do a lot of impression management." Rule says but it might not have the hoped for effect. You might fixate on an aspect of your online presence deemed unimportant by others.

Impressions 

First impressions have an evolutionary basic early humans needed to quickly detect whether a person might deceive them or make for a suitable mate.

Judging

If you're doing the judging,listen to your gut.Studies maintain that people can correctly determine a CEO's profitability and even a person's sexual orientation from a glimpse of their face.

Intitution 

While helpful intuition can indulge biases and stereo types.An IIT-educated employer might be inclined to choose an IIT grad over more qualified alumini from another university. The same goes for race and social class.

How Is Life Trying To Tell You Something Few Experiences to share

Hey Everyone!,

How Is Life Trying To Tell 

You Something

Few 

Experiences to share

To those who haven't traveled in an non air-conditioned railway coach (generally referred to as a sleeper coach) in India, I apologize for my choice of metaphor here. To give a bit of a background, more than half the reserved coaches in India are non-AC. They are generally messier, filthier, hotter, more crowded, and generally more of an unpleasant experience than their air conditioned counterparts.

---

Imagine such a journey.

You board the train at 8 AM in the morning, settle down, and feel yourself being slowly engulfed with excitement and hopeful anticipation. It is going to be a long trip; 24 hours to be precise. But the prospect of going back to your hometown, or seeing your lover after a long time, or starting a new chapter in a strange city, or any of the multitude of reasons you undertook this voyage, would certainly make up for it.

Its almost noon. Things have been smooth for the past 4 hours. The weather's fine, but it is definitely getting hotter. Your coach is only ~50% occupied. You have already finished the book you had purchased earlier, at the onset of the journey. To be fair, it was a disappointment. However, it did help you kill a few hours. But you are no longer in the mood to read more, so you do not take out the second one, letting it sit idly in your backpack, hopefully to be picked up during the return leg.

The first big station arrives. A great human wave overwhelms your compartment. In a few minutes, when the commotion subsides, and the train resumes nonchalantly, you realize that there are now more people than seats. A lot of people without the proper reservations have also got in. But being in India, there is nothing much you can do about it. An elderly gentleman comes up to you and asks you to shift a bit to accommodate him. You are well within your rights to refuse, but you don't want to sound rude. So you comply; you adjust.

Another 3 hours pass by. The heat has become unbearable. You curse our little, ordinary, yellow star. You notice that another young man has somehow sneaked into your seat. Originally meant to seat 3, it now is carrying 5. There isn't enough room for you to get comfortable. Not fair, you think. After all you planned your travel in advance and paid for the seat. So you take a stand, and politely ask the gentleman to leave.

It's 6 PM now. The sun has started to go down. You have become accustomed to the crowd, the crying children, the noisy group of teenagers in the next compartment, and everything else. The guy you had asked to leave earlier comes back, walks up to you, and apologizes. He is a student, who had to suddenly leave for home due to a personal emergency. He says his stop is next. And that he is terribly sorry for the inconvenience he caused you. You feel like an ass. You realize you had been a terrible person. You blurt out your apology too, hoping to make up for your earlier blunder. You offer him half you seat until his journey ends. You start talking. He is a good kid. 30 minutes or so fly by in what felt like a jiffy. You bid adieu but not without adding him on Facebook. You just made a friend.

7 PM and you are gazing our of the window. The cool counter-breeze is a welcome relief after the sun's unsolicited display of strength earlier that day. The scenery is wonderful too. Lush green fields, small lakes and ponds, a tiny creek, a rustic little settlement. You can almost feel the languid rural life calling out to you, a stark contrast against the hectic pace of the city. Is that regret you are feeling?

Anyway, back to the present. Some of the scenery is so beautiful, you wish you could stop and admire it for a few moments more. But like Frost's reminiscence of a fateful winter evening passing through the woods, or Wordsworth's vivid memoirs of gazing upon a daffodil field, you know it isn't possible. Everything comes, stays for a while, and then leaves. Nothing is permanent. With that thought, both distressing and comforting, you eat your dinner and go to sleep.

You wake up at 6 AM the next morning, mostly infuriated by the commotion in the coach. To your pleasant surprise, you find a cute girl sitting across from your seat. Being shy, you simply take out the second book and start reading. A few minutes later, the lady interrupts you inquiring about the said book. Not a bad investment, you think. One thing leads to another, and you soon find yourself in the midst of a wonderful conversation. You are pleasantly surprised to discover that the two of you work in the same city, belong to the same town, and have overlapping interests in most cases. "Could this be love?", you heart asks. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves.", your brain replies. However, it definitely could be the beginning of something wonderful. You exchange numbers and outline some vague plans to catch up soon.

The journey is coming to an end. You feel both relieved and a bit nostalgic. You are where you wanted to be, but in the process you will have to let go of the past 24 hours.

---

That is life.

A journey. A series of events, some memorable some not. An emotional roller-coaster of joy, sadness, excitement, disappointment. A constant battle between being a little sympathetic and understanding vs standing your ground. Friendship. Love. An elapsing sequence of scenes, of moments, of memories. All of them fleeting. Permanently. Irrevocably. The final destination for all is the same - irrespective of power, wealth, beauty, ambition. Death is the eventual finality that we all need to embrace and accept. However, it's the ephemeral nanosecond in the cosmic calendar, where you exist, that is all that matters

Hey Everyone!,

You are the world's seasoning,

make it beautiful..

If you were to cook 3 cups of rice, would you add 3 cups of salt to it?

Certainly not!

So, in every preparation of rice, the rice always outnumbers the salt, yet a little salt makes a huge difference/impact in the overall outcome.

In the room in which you currently are, look up at the ceiling... 

What is the size of the bulb compared to the size of the room? It is probably a ratio of 1:5000.

Yet, darkness flees the entire space once the small bulb is flipped on.

If I am the salt of the earth, and the light of the world, then "little me" has the ability to make big things happen..

Sometimes, because we feel outnumbered or overwhelmed at the sheer magnitude of evil or wrong-doers, we then choose powerlessness, and decide to go with the flow, not standing up for what we believe is right.

Little doesn't mean insignificant.

You are significant. Your presence should make a BIG difference. Stop waiting to be on the side of the majority. They may be the majority, but they are the trivial majority, and you are the impactful minority.

They are the rice of the world, and you are the salt of the world..

They are the room and you are the light.

Make your influence felt!

Remember:

You are the world's seasoning,make it beautiful..
