Next you will figure out what you could improve to make a more healthy relationship. You will learn about what our media makes it seem like people feel they have to do to get into a relationship. Most people around the age most likely to be looking for that special someone do not realize that there are other ways to go about it. You will also need to know how to talk, and use your body language to your benefit while interacting with others. It is interesting how the smallest subtleties are able to make such a big difference in how others view you. How others view you effects what social classification you end up in. This makes it very important to watch carefully and see how you portray yourself in the community. When you look into your own mind and try and pull out a successful relationship what do you picture? Chances are a good looking couple is part of the picture. While yes, it is important to be attracted to one another, it is not what your world should evolve around. When I picture a healthy partnership I see two people with positive energy surrounding them. I see both parties engaged in the relationship. I see their bond to one another as a priority...

...engage in lustful looks. It is not a wise practice for any man who wants to protect his marriage, and in many cases it can be an issue of sin. Jesus said that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has committed adultery with her in his heart (Matthew 5:27-28). So while your husband is likely being honest when he says he has no intention of doing anything beyond looking, the act of looking can still be a problem, especially if he is replaying it in his mind later. Not only that, but in his situation he is not even trying to be discreet about it when you’re around, and that is cause for concern. If he freely looks when you are with him, how bold is he when you are not present? 1) Whenever we go anywhere, could be a reception, stores, etc ( basicly anywhere there are other people) he looks/stare at girls/women.. I have been married for 8 years and been talking to him about this ever since. I have asked him several times not to do it, that it bothers me. He says he likes to look, that everyone is different. The next time I caught him staring, I told him you can stare all you want when I am not there, just don't do it infront of me, .. I sometime ignore him but not all the time... it really hurts me.. For eg. we were doing grocery shopping the other day when he saw this girl and he looked/stare at her, its like she had a magnet on her body.. He couldn't help looking.. He is looking at the girl then he saw me looking at him, he then turned away, then looked in the direction she...

...When looking in the mirror you tend to see who you really are. You criticize yourself in a negative view point in order to let the positivity revel itself. Only if the world we lived in had a mind to where the put themselves in the shoes of others before placing judgment. The internet has a way of judging others from the outside looking in. Every day, every second, every minute someone is uploading images, videos, tweeting, or dming one another on social networks. But we fail to realize that at each moment that someone is rather tweeting doing live videos or whatever it is, there is always someone criticizing, hated on, bullied, stereotyped, etc. Disconfirmation is one of the most closed stereotyped there could be.

...products they are trying to sell, all people want to do is look like the celebrities that are shown. By showing the attractive celebrities in their ads they are making you think that buying their product will make you look like them or help you achieve a goal of looking like them. From something as simple as a box of cereal to a new car, companies are using celebrities in their ads to make it seems like they are the best and that you should buy their product. In today’s world you seem to never see ordinary looking people in advertisements because that is not what sells. In modern day America standards of beauty are virtually unattainable and made that way by main stream media. Nick Jonas turned heads when he was featured in Flaunt Magazine wearing only Calvin Klein underwear and jeans around his ankles. In the ad you see four pictures of Nick in different poses all wearing the same thing and looking directly at the camera. Imagine being a male teen and seeing an ad for Calvin Klein with a ¾ naked Nick Jonas. They are immediately going...

...has grown immensely. This has caused an enormous boom in people using social media. Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter can be used to connect with friends, but also make connections with professionals and other people that give you job opportunities.

... Have you or anyone you know looked for a job recently? It is extremely hard finding a job and given the state the economy is in it is even harder to find a job. There was a time when one looked for a job that offered stability, now people are just looking for a job. If you were to lose your job how difficult do you think it would be for you to find a new job? When seeking out employment there are some things to keep in mind that an employer may look for in a potential job candidate. Knowing what an employer may look for can give you an advantage in the job interview. Most employers’ value education but look for stability and maturity in potential candidates. Employer’s watch to see how a candidate completes the application, the behavior in the interview, they evaluate how mature the interview questions are answered. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, many potential employers’ will ask questions to see how you have handled particular situations in the past. Employers’ want to know if they hire you will you be an asset to their organization or a liability. Employers’ cannot afford to invest in the resources to hire and train a candidate if that candidate is not looking for a future with the employer. One of the ways they look for this is in the application. They look to see if you have longevity at your previous employer. Employers need people who demonstrate enthusiasm and energy. They look for people who are willing to take the...

...is the first picture that comes to mind when you hear the words “good leader?” Maybe you picture William Wallace, leading his band of Scottish rebels in a war where they are heavily outnumbered against the numbers and tyranny of England. Maybe you picture Michael Jordan, pumping his fist right after he knocks down the shot against Craig Ehlo in the 1989 playoffs. Or you might even possibly see Adolf Hitler, although what he stood for will always be atrocious, he did do an incredible job of getting others to follow him. So the question is: What makes a good leader? Susie Shellenberger, the 2010 recipient of the Reed Leadership Lifetime Achievement Award, would say, “A good leader is one who doesn’t compromise integrity or character when no one is looking. A good leader maintains the same high standards in private as seen in public.” Let’s unpack what she meant when she said this. First, a good leader doesn’t compromise integrity or character no matter what. Webster gives such definitions for character as “moral excellence and firmness,” and integrity as “the quality or state of being complete or undivided.” When you put these two together, the sum is a person who is firm in his convictions and who lives under those convictions no matter what the circumstances are. A good leader does not live a two-faced lie. As its definition states, to be a person of integrity means that you are complete or undivided. You are unwavering. You do not act differently around different...

...It is very dangerous and distracting to not only you, but other drivers on the road too. You can’t multitask, so while you are looking at the phone, you aren’t looking at the road. This is also the case for talking on the phone, playing music off your phone, and playing games on it. While you are looking at your phone, you can swerve off the road, or hit a car head on. There are multiple things that can happen while you are not looking at the road. Texting and driving is a very bad thing to do, because you endanger everyone inside your car, and the other cars on the road. People can’t multitask even if you think you can. You can do multiple things at once, but you can only concentrate on one of the things you are doing at a time. So if you are looking at your phone and driving, you can only concentrate on one of those at a time. This is bad if you are driving and not looking at the road. It is not just texting; it is playing music off your phone, texting, talking on the phone, and playing games on it. If you wouldn’t drive blindfolded, why would you look at your phone while in the road? It is the same thing, isn’t it? So every time you text and drive, you are driving...
