Psychology: six life occasions where silence is the answer: mastering the art of silent communication Have you ever experienced a moment when words seem to lose their power, and silence becomes the most eloquent response? There are times when silence can speak volumes, and mastering the art of silent communication is an important life skill that can shape our relationships, our decision-making process, and even our self-perception. Take, for example, the witness account of a friend of mine who found himself in a heated quarrel with his spouses. The tug-of-war of words reached a point of rupture, where any further conversation would only add fuel to the fire. In the heat of the moment, he chose silence. “I simply stopped arguing and looked at her. It was as if time stood still, and I could see the rage draining out of her face. The silence was deafening, but it was also healing.” Sometimes, not responding with words but just listening can diffuse tension. His experience demonstrates how...

Errors in language use Proper use of grammar may save someone's life.  Error #1: Run-on Sentence or Comma Splice A run-on sentence is a sentence that joins two independent clauses without punctuation or the appropriate conjunction. A comma splice is similar to a run-on sentence, but it uses a comma to join two clauses that have no appropriate conjunction. Fixing a run-on sentence or a comma splice can be accomplished in one of five different ways: Separate the clauses into two sentences. Replace the comma with a semi-colon. Replace the comma with a coordinating conjunction--and, but, for, yet, nor, so. Replace the comma with a subordinating conjunction--after, although, before, unless, as, because, even though, if, since, until, when, while. Replace the comma with a semi-colon and transitional word--however, moreover, on the other hand, nevertheless, instead, also, therefore, consequently, otherwise, as a result. For example: Incorrect: Rachel is very smart, she began r...

Someone had told me about grief 1. No matter how prepared you think you are for a death, you can never be fully prepared for the loss and the grief. 2. You can plan for death, but death does not always comply with our wishes or plans. 3. “Stop avoiding and be present.” 4. “Dying is not like you see on TV or in the movies. It is not peaceful or prepared. You may not have a spiritual or meaningful moment. It’s too real.” 5. A hospital death is not always a bad death. 6. A home death/hospice death is not always a good death. 7. “There will be pressure from others to move on, even minutes or hours after a death, and this can lead to regrets”. 8. “Death is not an emergency. There is always time to step back and take a moment to say goodbye.” 9. Death and grief make people uncomfortable, so be prepared for awkward encounters. 10.

தமிழில் ।।। Raising Moral Children 1. Commit to Raising A Moral Child How important is it for you to raise a moral child? It's a crucial question to ask, because research finds that parents who feel strongly about their kids turning out morally usually succeed because they committed themselves to that effort. If you really want to raise a moral child, then make a personal commitment to raise one. 2. Be a Strong Moral Example Parents are their children's first and most powerful moral teachers, so make sure the moral behaviors your kids are picking up from you are ones that you want them to copy. Try to make your life a living example of good moral behavior for your child to see. Each day ask yourself: "If my child had only my behavior to watch, what example would he/she catch?" The answer is often quite telling. 3. Know Your Beliefs & Share Them Before you can raise a moral child, you must be clear about what you believe in. Take time to think through your values t...
