7 Turn offs That Ruin Your Presentation

Creating An Impactful Presentation  What not to do; because if you're reading this, I am sure you must have read many what to do and how to present PPT articles. Total turn off #1 I Think. If you're still thinking about it, and you're still not sure, don't say it, and there's no need to include something on which you're still thinking and not certain. If your facts are correct and verifiable if your content is up to the mark and if your delivery well practiced, you will certainly be sure of what you are conveying to your audience. Total turn off #2 Wrong Facts. If you believe in something doesn’t mean the 90% of the population believes it too. Sometimes you might be the part of the rest 10% of them, that's called research, and there's no presentation without a little research.

Have You been Grateful to them??

It was 17th July around 11:30 PM when my phone buzzed *Beep-Beep* one unread message. The message reads "There is a comment from your Ex-boss on my post, possibly by mistake, but you must not ignore, therefore thought to personally text you" and that comment reads "great job Khushbu". I decided to either like it or simply love it, see, how Facebook has restricted our chain of thoughts into simple clicks, even when we must not! A moment later, I was lost in the memories of what all we shared together while we worked, the amount of learning and support I had, and the faith she had in me. This is when I realized, that our relation deserves more than just a 'like' and it made me go back to the comment to ensure I don't lose upon an opportunity to thank the person who has been a mentor to me.

"Life will not postpone our death; so let us not postpone our life!"                   ~Unposted Letter It was 11 th July 2018 when I was sitting and randomly flipping the pages of this book called Unposted Letter, to understand what this book is about, but I ended up indulging in what is “Love at first sight”. I read it on somewhere, “… When we all do strange and new or unlikely things together, then slowly these rituals and these things become normal and a part of life. ” For instance, the purdah system, the women going out and working for a living, the birthday of a girl child being celebrated, women wearing jeans, men doing household jobs, and a lot… So now that we know, we together have the power to bring in the change, it is imperative for each one of us to unite to bring in the said changes. Okay, so why am I discussing so much about the changes that we necessitate and unity?? Because this is something that caught my eye. According to data sourced from the National Cr

The 6 Honest Men Explains how to Get Rid of Toxic People

Is this Negativity that is Surrounding You? तिनका कबहुँ ना निन्दिये , जो पाँवन तर होय , कबहुँ उड़ी आँखिन पड़े , तो पीर घनेरी होय। ~ कबीर दास जी एक छोटे से तिनके की भी कभी निंदा न करो जो पांवों के नीचे दब जाता है। यदि कभी वह तिनका उड़कर आँख में आ गिरे तो कितनी गहरी पीड़ा होती है। Once upon a time, there was a knife and a small needle, the knife had a very sharp  blade, his master used it every single day, it was shiny and a handle made of  wood, giving the knife a beautiful, elegant look, for cutting vegetables, fruits,  salads, opening jars, and what not, whereas the needle was teeny tiny and no  glow and was kept forever in a drawer unnoticed. The needle felt dejected  while the knife was rejoicing... One day, the master saw his shirt and noticed there's a button missing, knife stood up upright thinking it’s his turn again to please his master but this was time to open the drawer. Never underestimate the power of even the teeny tiny smallest thing and  sometimes that teeny tiny sm

Wheel of Life; How to say NO and Why is it needed?

He was hired!! Yes! This was certain and we know this because his HR Manager recently gave him his appointment letter duly signed. Day 1, new office, new set up, new city, he entered the meeting room with an uncertainty, After hours of discussions, introductions and clarifications he said “I am your new manager, my cubicle is right next to your Finance manager’s cubicle and I am always available, mail me or text me anytime you’ll always be answered. Were his phrases out of fear of failure and a need for acceptance? He believed, such gestures would help him exercise soft leadership and would increase his acceptance rate, little did he know that this will soon be followed by a never-ending stream of questions, requests, demands and approvals at all hours. This happens to many of us. Isn’t it? This is one story, but do you find yourself being a part of Yes Vicious Circle ? Do you feel suffocated under the weight of your own calls, emails, messages, tons of unread WhatsApp messages and nev
