Buildings Created on Solid Foundation

There are instances that people achieve success and make great fortunes all at once.  But remember, it is certainly the result of hard work for years.  Every beautiful building in this world is created on solid foundation, for which constructive blue prints are drawn.


In order to improve your personal productivity and efficiency, first decide what specific things you should do to make yourself more effective.  To start with, you may break the habits of putting off things and using negative language.  Every day, it is better you watch your physical appearance in front of your mirror.  Effective people plan each day's work the night before.  You could sharpen your mind by investing some time  each day for reading minimum 25 pages  about positive  thinking. Making four new friends each week is a good idea.  Building new positive habits and destroying all negative thoughts make you more productive.

Alpha Command

     As a parent when you feel that your emotions are in check, you want to redirect your child’s behaviour. One of the methods is giving an Alpha Command. For example, consider a situation when Kiran, your 8 year old  son, is winding up to throw a cricket ball from across the room into your living room, aiming at a stand.  You know that if he misses the stand, the ball will certainly hit some show-piece in the  room which may get broken.  Normally you shout “Kiran, stop”.  But in Alpha Command, you may simply say “Kiran, Get my gloves from the box in the garage. We may play in the lawn.” 

     This is a request for a response that is compatible with the unacceptable behaviour of the child.  In Alpha Commands we request and expect an action that the child is likely to accept and do.

     According to Forehand and McMahon, an Alpha Command is a clear concise directive for a specific appropriate behaviour.  Psychologists say that it takes practice to become good at giving Alpha Commands. But in  Parenting a Defiant Child,  Phillip Hall and Nancy Hall say that a defiant children will generally not comply with harshly given, demanding Alpha Commands.

Importance of Body Language

Doris Pooser, a recognized expert in the fashion and beauty industry says that “thirty years ago, body language was not in most dictionaries.  Today it’s an industry.” True. Along with the strength of uttered words, now everybody is tested on the  non-verbal messages he deliver at any given time. 
  
What is body language? In the broadest sense, all bodily gestures, postures, facial expressions, bodily movements, and hmmmm..s and phews  are part of body language. More than 55% of our communication process comprises of body language.


When you enter an office, feeling little good about your outward appearance, remember, within 30 seconds you are evaluated based on your body language. Your facial expressions, length of eye contact, firmness of your handshakes, and all other positive signals your body emanates are assessed within the short time span of 30 seconds.  Therefore be sure that you deliver appropriate language using your body.
