Improving my Communication Skills

Ref. Google images.infobarrel.com
I remember the times I stammered in speaking to a cashier in a fast food chain. That happened during my high school days, when my classmates and I decided to try the new product of that store. In fact, I did stammer when she ask for my order, which in turn giving me the wrong one. I admit it’s my fault. I didn't deliver the message to her clearly. That dilemma happens not just once but a lot of times whenever I’m conversing with others.

Completing Major Projects

As a student a student I have no problem with reading assignments or other work assigned in a regular basis; I only experience major task, such as completing a term paper. Not only me who is having a problem with it, but also for some others who find term papers to be time consuming. They delay until the time is past for doing an adequate job. If what I think is probably right, students can complete day-to-day assignments because other people have laid out their work and are providing immediate consequences.

On the other hand, a student who is given an assignment to be completed by the end of a semester might not have those immediate, externally imposed consequences. Being an electrical engineering student at day and a blogger at night, I usually procrastinate over term projects like thesis. Reconstructing my time table, maximizing my time & a self management approach might be the most efficient way.

How to Deal with Lazy Group Members

If you ever happened to be a leader of a group in your class, you might probably agree on most cases I will present in this article. Since I've entered college, I was always promoted as a leader whenever our professors assign or group us. Maybe because of my notable acts or my active participation I displayed in the class. 
Being a group leader can be tiresome, stressful and sometimes considered it as an extra work load for others. But for some, they see it as an accomplishment or an achievement as they tend to display more of their productive side. Leaders may face many challenges and obstacles along their way and one of these speed humps are the fact that they’ll deal with lazy group members.

Fact vs Opinion: Our basis in making correct decisions

If you've ever watched or read a detective story, you know how the detectives rely heavily on evidences to solve their cases. This means that, before they point a finger to anyone, they use methodical or scientific proof to justify their claims. As you've read the story, you might have an opinion as to who committed the crime. But according to the detectives, the one who committed the crime is the man who is less likely for you to be the suspect. Who did what & when is a matter of  fact. That's because they have enough evidence and they can prove it.

Problem Solving Techniques

Every one faces his or her share of problems, and it must be handled quickly and effectively. Here are some techniques that I used, and it might just help you solve your problems.


What is a problem?
according to http://www.thefreedictionary.com problem is an obstacle, impediment, difficulty or challenge, or any situation that invites resolution; the resolution of which is recognized as a solution or contribution toward a known purpose or goal thus requires you to make a difficult decision.
That decision can be about anything-how to answer a perplexing question, how to handle complicated situations, how to convince someone to see your point of view, or even how to solve a puzzle or mystery.
