Learn About Other Religions
Religions are a way for us to understand our relationships with the supernatural and with each other. Learning how such relations are structured can teach you a lot about how people relate to each other and the world around them.
Seeing the reason in other religions can also help you develop mental flexibility.

How to find your next job: Talk to the people you already know
Networking is necessary
We have to get over the belief that being competent and qualified means we shouldn't need help finding a new job.
We feel this way because networking makes us feel vulnerable. We are a...
Networking is effective
Hiring managers want job candidates whom they know they can trust. That is why they prefer candidates who come through personal referrals.
Referrals have a 50 percent chance of getting an interview, while non-referrals have only a 3 percent chance. Referrals or internal candidates fill up to 80 percent of jobs.
How to network
Networking is not just talking to strangers - it is also initiating career conversations with your existing acquaintances.
Keep these questions in mind: Can your siblings, neighbors, friends, hairdresser or other regular contacts describe your aspirations and particular expertise in one or two sentences? Can you explain theirs?

How to make friends as an adult
Friendships are a treasure
Friends provide a comforting sense of stability and bonding. A defining feature of friendship is that it's voluntary - it's a relationship of great freedom that we hold on to only b...
Busyness and the risk of becoming friendless
The busyness of many people's adult lives can cause them to quickly lose contact with friends.
One study found that people had lost touch with about half of their closest friends over a period of seven years. What's more is that we are often losing friends faster than we can replace them. If we are not careful, we risk living out our adulthood without friends.
Deliberately making friends
Making more friends in adulthood will take some deliberate effort. One challenge may be to put yourself out there, as it can trigger fear of rejection.
You may engage in two types of avoidance to prevent you from making new friends.
- You may practise 'overt avoidance' by not putting yourself in a situation where it's possible to meet new people.
- You may engage in 'covert avoidance', which means you show up but don't engage with people once you are there.

Practice These 5 Things to Communicate More Clearly
The "why" of the communication
You're wasting time and energy if you don't know the reason the communication is taking place.
Before you initiate any communication, ask yourself, "What am I trying to accomplish?" Ev...
Communicate emotions in person
Any communication that has high emotional content should be delivered in person (if possible) or by telephone and teleconferencing (if not). This applies to both positive and negative news.
If you use email, it will seem like you don't care or that you're a coward.
Communicate facts via email
- People only retain a small percentage of facts when they're communicated verbally. Having those facts written helps to ensure that they don't get lost when it's time to make decisions.
- It's much better to use email to get everyone up to speed and then have a discussion of what yet needs to be accomplished.
