Body Language Basics - Syncrat Publishing Throughout history it has been an advantage if an individual can read body language. Body language helps in everyday life from closing a business deal or trusting someone with your life, to recognising when someone is upset. Body language is the art of making an educated guess at a person’s feelings or intentions based on their posture, movement and positioning.

Advancements in technology have transformed the way that we correspond with others in the modern world. Because of the constant buzz in our technological world, it's easy to forget how important communicating face-to-face is.

Bella lounging in the yard How to tell in 15 minutes whether someone likes you - by Bridget Webber Bridget Webber's image for: "Body Language that Shows when someone of the Opposite Sex Fancies you" Caption: Location: Image by: Wouldn't it be great to be able to tell within fifteen minutes whether someone likes you or not? The Eyebrow Raise The eyebrow raise is generally reserved for members of the opposite sex who like what they see, and it happens straight away. The Smile Although smiling can be faked, a genuine smile can easily be separated from a false one. A smile that is more of a grimace, or is delivered with lips firmly shut tight and downward turning corners of the lips, is a concerted effort rather than an indication that someone likes you. The Lean. If you are sat with a person who likes you, he or she is likely to lean in toward you as you converse. If you are standing, a person will stand close to you if he or she likes you, and give you full attention. Feet. Eye Contact Touching. When you like someone, you are drawn to touch him or her, even when you try not to! Mirroring.
CEO shall not whine Last Updated Mar 22, 2011 7:03 PM EDT People are always complaining about CEOs having all this wealth and power, it's not what you know but who you know, the rich keep getting richer, and all that. What a bunch of whiny crap. You'd think CEOs were born with the title, like royalty. Here's a powerful example straight from this week's news page. Ivan Seidenberg, CEO of Verizon Communications, began his career as a cable splicer's assistant right out of high school. Ed Whitacre, Jr., former Chairman and CEO of AT&T, began his career as a facility engineer at Southwestern Bell in 1963. Randall Stephenson, Chairman and CEO of AT&T, joined the Oklahoma IT department of Southwestern Bell right out of school in 1982. Ivan, Ed, and Randy weren't born CEOs. Now, I don't personally know these particular CEOs, but I have known hundreds of successful executives with stories similar to theirs. They've experienced significant adversity in their lives. They're like pit bulls with a vision.
"Force Quit" Yourself to Get Your Sleep Schedule Back on Track and Avoid Another Day of Fatigue Your body has to receive triggers as to when it is day & night for your body clock run on. If you shifted continents, you'd still want to stay up later, faking the day/night cues for your body works. Basically, this means if you have DSPD, having the lights on at night is a killer, which is the opposite of what I want, because I don't want to switch them off when I'm feeling wide awake. But, the lights on are exactly what makes my body think it's still day/early evening etc. There's a theory that a good portion of DSPD people are just more sensitive to artificial lighting than everyone else. Wearing amber sunglasses from early evening onwards helps me, melanon, and bright lights that switch on about an hour before I get up in the morning. Oh, and I figured out a work-around for the weekend sleep-in. And I do have to use 'force quitting' in the evening. So, this allows me to fake normal work hours, like 7-7.30am wake up, not early-early wake up, but hey, good enough.
5 Psychology Studies Every Awkward Teenager Should Read We've demonstrated before that, even according to science, being a teenager sucks. So one could logically assume that if being a normal teenager sucks, then being a shy teenager must be even worse. But if we ever got the chance to go back in time to visit our lonely teenage selves ... well, first off we'd deal them an epic backhanded mouthslap (butterfly effect be damned). But once they recovered, we'd tell them to keep their chin up, because ... #5.
