...about the situation or problem and collaborate agree on how to approach or solve it. In doing so, employees and teammates cooperate with an effective persuader because they want to, not because they have to. WHY PERSUASION IS IMPORTANT? To be an effective manager, you must be an able persuader. Employees today show little intolerance for unquestioned authority. More and more companies are adapting a participative work style where employees at all levels are involved in formulating strategy, discussing business needs, making bottom-line decisions, and implementing workplace changes. Persuasion is a necessary skill also because in today’s business world, there is an increasing amount of work being done by teams and virtual employees. In a team-based or team-supported workplace, seldom does a higher authority mandate decisions. Work is divided and overseen by selfmanaging team rather than a higher level mgr. you work with ur peers, not subordinates, persuasion is the only alternative.

...you, my heart recognized you. It got warmed by your flame and now it's so hot waiting for a cool message from you. I love you so much. My Momma told me the greatest thing to learn in life is to love and be loved in return. Will you teach me? Sometimes my eyes get jealous of my heart. Know why? Because you always remain close to my heart and far from my eyes. 1. We never know how this closeness has started. We will never know how it would end. But whatever happens, when our closeness is gone, I will never forget how you made me smile once in a while 2. I had been believing that there is a paradise beyond the skies. But now I realized that heaven is just right here on earth, because what would an angel like you be doing here if heaven is somewhere else? 3. We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love. 4. A great love? It’s when you shed tears and still you care for him, it’s when he ignores you and still you long for him. It’s when he begins to love another and yet you still smile and say I’m happy for you. 5. If love fails, set yourself free, let your heart spread its wings and fly again. Remember you may find love and lose it, but when love dies, you never have to die with it. 6. Loving is not how you forget but how you forgive, not how you listen but how you understand,...

Scholar: Because I am not a fan of drugs. I feel that they would destroy my life I start Interviewer: Do u think legalisation of illicit drugs is a solution to abuse? Scholar: But how can that be a solution? No. Relying on any type of drugs to be happy is not right and is no way to live life, Interviewer: Why do u say it’s not right ?Isn’t life about what makes one happy so what if it is right to that person as it is the only way she/he can have a happy life, are they still wrong? Scholar: Life is what u make of it, so when u take drugs then you are letting something else control your life, you are giving away your power to something as petty as drugs? No thank you. Interviewer: Is there an upside legalisation? I mean don’t u think the intake of drugs could be monitored and henceforth reducing chancing of addiction? Scholar: Well I don’t think so because even though alcohol is legal and they try to regulate the total amount a person can take, it just never works, people still get wasted so it would probably be the same.

...was it? Why were you surprised? If not, why not? The student code of conduct was kind self explantatory. Its like high school rules you dont harrass people its simple just treat people the way you want to be treated. What surprised me was the the fact that you can carry pepper spray on campus. I felt like that should have been considered as an weapon because the nun chucks from class. I feel like that would have been the lease thing to worry about as a weapon on campus than pepper spray . The only reason i say this is cause the pepper the school didnt give that to that student thats just for her protecting so she can just go around campus spraying people just cause. But on the other hand the nun chuck the school had giving that to that student she just forgot to leave them in that classroom. And the whole knife situation for lunch yea not a good idea.

...Week 2 Individual Work Assignment: Goal Setting and Managing Change Student Name: Respond to each part in at least one complete paragraph. Part 1: Define one change you would like to make in yourself. It might be a behavior or anything about yourself that you would like to alter. It would be helpful to consider a change that applies to your educational goals for this paper. That could be many different things: better study habits, time management, health and fitness routines, managing finances, and more. As of this month, I have been trying harder to control how much extra money I spend every month. Wanting to save for a different car is a good motivator for that. A couple other goals I have are set more time aside for school work, eating healthier so my brain works better and using better daily routines. Some steps that I have taken to achieve these goals are I set up an account specifically just for my saving I can’t touch. Look into getting a Wii U system to help occupy my five year old and start researching into better ways of dealing with her when doing homework. When it comes to food and daily habits you could call me a blob for I can get pretty off the track. To prevent this, I have made sure there aren’t really any sweets in the house to snack on. Set my alarm clock to get up earlier than I like, schedule reminders for appointments on my phone and have started making myself lists again to stay organized. Part 2: Write a specific goal for making the change...

...Theme of Fahrenheit 451 “Is it true, the world works hard to play ?” The theme of Fahrenheit 451 is that when people are forced to conform, they can’t show what they are capable of doing. Throughout the text, this theme can be showcased in many places. Starting off with the first quote, it can be found on page 82 saying, “We are living in a time when flowers are trying to live on flowers, instead of growing on good rain and black floam“. During this time, Faber was explaining to Montag on why he thinks books are so important, but also says what his take on books being burned was. So this quote talks about how people are living a caged, easy life of not breaking out to do what's different. They all basically have the same...
