Effective Speaking!

Effective Speaking!
In the 1930’s, during a great depression, a newpaper advertisement that read, “Increase your income, Learn to speak effectively, prepare for Leadership”, sent 2,500 people to attend an hour and a half evening course in “Effective Speaking and influencing men in business” in a Hotel in New York, according to Dale Carnegie’s book. But, that’s not the only interesting part. Today, after over seventy years (seven decades) , that same newspaper ad, remains true to its content, that learning to speak effectively increases ones income, and is much needed to prepare for Leadership. Moreover, it is also true that those who are handicapped in effective speaking, rarely influence men in business and may not even win the job or business ,that they desire the most.

Arguments!

(MakingitsoInteresting)
Arguments!
Seldom can we say that there is a winner in an argument. Normally, we find it a lose-lose situation. Why? Because arguments, can result to hurt feelings, and even the apparent winner, can feel bad about hurting the feelings of the opposite party. But that’s not the more interesting part in an argument. Some people wiser than the people in argument say that there are always three sides in an argument; and that is, a) the one sponsored by the first party, b) that one sponsored by the second party, and c) the correct one. Be careful then, when you are drawn into an argument. You may need to avoid it, while you can. Besides, both you and the other party may not be on the correct side.
