How to Use Your Will to Achieve Success

For achieving success, will power is the basic input. I have some suggestions to achieve your dreams. First thing, you should know the time management because it is one of the important skills while you are dealing with many tasks. You should maintain time effectively by planning. And you have to develop new ideas to contribute towards your success.

You should not restrict yourself to only one work, you should do multi tasks. And you should always think positively. Positive thinking increases your confidence levels and helps you to achieve your goals.

But in any situation you should not think negatively. If you want to be stress free and successful in your life you should not caught up in any negative feelings. You should visualize and achieve goals. Your attitude should be governed by your thoughts and not by any other else.

How to Make Proofreading Effective

Till mid-1990’s, many people thought proofreading and editing are same and used these words interchangeable. Proofreading means going through the content and making it effective by making necessary corrections related to grammar, spellings, and typos etc. Proof reading is vital for an error free document.

STEPS FOR MAKING PROOFREADING EFFECTIVE
The majority of the people devote only a few minutes for the correction of the content, hoping to detect all the glaring errors that are present in the document. But a quick and crispy reading can prevent you from finding the errors in the document. The following are few steps for making proofreading effective.

Proofreading Should Be Done More Than Two Times:
By reading once, the proofreader can not detect all errors in the content. Proofreading should be done for more than two times, because all the errors can not be found in first two readings. Professional proofreaders do proofreading as many as ten times in different angles.

Don’t Rely On Handy Tools:
Proofreading with handy tools may not find all the errors in the content and sometimes even add more errors. Because handy tools work with limited number of rules with which they can’t identify every error giving a chance for mistakes. For an instance, spell checkers can not catch misspellings that form another meaningful word.

Read slowly:
The content of writing should be read slowly and carefully to determine whether the message that the writer wants to convey is delivered correctly or not. If possible, read out loudly that enables you to hear the word that enables you to be at the readers end. If you read silently or quickly, there is a chance to skip over the errors or make unconscious corrections.

Better to do proofreading through printed paper:
Some proofreaders do proofreading on the computer only and some has a habit of proofreading through printed paper. Proofreading on printed paper is more effective than any other form. Proofreading on paper can easily find the errors in spellings, vocabulary, grammar and punctuations.

It is always better to plan or define the proofreading process that helps in systematic and effective proofreading. Proofreading is not an inherent ability but it is an acquired skill. It is unquestionable that the quality of the content is very much dependant on the quality of the proof reading.

Five Must Avoid Things for Desert Tourists

There is a certain community of people in the world called the adventurous travelers. They are known for their traveling among all bad situations and adventurous places. It is good to have such heroes around you.

But they have a bad habit with them. They always try to make people around them interesting to travel along them (believe me; I came across many such people). They have very fascinating stories through which they will easily force people to travel along them. If you are one of them and are going to travel in a desert, be aware of these things.
  • Heat and Cold: We know that days are very hot in deserts. But the nights in deserts are equally chilling. You have to be prepared for those conditions.
  • Quicksand: These are much exaggerated in movies. Though not as worst as shown in movies, it is better to be aware of such places.
  • Lack of Water: Sand is quite common view in deserts as water in oceans. Water sources in deserts (called Oasis) can be compared to shores for oceans.
  • Dust Storms: Not all deserts are prone to dust storms. But it is better to be prepared for such conditions.
  • Animals and Insects: Snakes are very poisonous in deserts. Equally harmful are the scorpions. There are certain insects like spiders and animals like Wolves and Coyotes which are very ferocious in deserts.

Layoffs Still Seen On a Big Spree

The number would have been good if it were the number of incentives provided to the people who are suffering from economy’s crumble. But it is the number of layoffs.

Ranging from small companies to big public companies, it has become a compulsion to decrease the number of their employees so as to deal with the economic down turn.

And if we see, the business of layoff trackers is doing very well. They are very excited to show such big numbers in their score board.

The number of layoffs till November was around 540,000. And the November spree of layoffs has started at a full momentum. If we have a look at the Forbes number of layoffs it has already reached the 120,000 mark and is still going. AT&T has recently announced that it is going to cut down as much as 12,000 employees very soon.

But what hurts me is that even companies like Cummins are also firing their employees, even though they are in good position.
