Be a valuable connection

The pun on "May the Force be with you" has been used a number of times over the years.

Once In 2008, a Facebook group celebrated "Luke Skywalker Day" and adopted the May the Fourth slogan. Since then, May 4 has been a regular fandom celebration. In 2013, Disney also joined in the celebration.

If you ever find yourself in need to improvise, but have no clue as how to manage this, have a look at the below tips:

• listen carefully: in order to make sure you are doing it right, focus only on listening, make eye contact and understand as much as possible the other's feelings
• accept the challenge: whenever you deal with uncertainty, embrace 'yes' rather than 'no'
• get used to committing: the best way to connect to somebody is by actually committing to the discussion you are having with that very person.

As in every field of our lives, also when it comes to improvisation, practice makes perfect. Therefore, go ahead and take advantage of every opportunity to practice your new skill.

• You can be conscious of what you type in your emails and phone messages, it pays well to have a large vocabulary at your disposal.
• If you overuse a word, or say a ‘pet’ word without even realizing it, you may have to break the habit by taking help from a colleague, friend or family member.
• The person who gets your message, who may be a new friend or an acquaintance, can feel as if you are being sarcastic, or may have misused a word, which they may or may not correct you. They may even think they have missed part of the conversation.
• Too many fluffy words also drown out the actual conversation. If you go on and on, the message you are trying to convey gets diluted.

• The more you talk, the more personal information is divulged. Your likes and dislikes, thought patterns, preferences, everything is exposed.
• It feels good and comforting to talk if the other person is listening, but good communication is never about talking too much.
• Say less and listen more.

• Millennials are the children of baby boomers and were raised with the mindset of 'We want it to be easier for our children than it was for us.'
• Millennials were around for the rise of the internet and came to age alongside the internet. A good way to describe millennials is technology-dependent, not technology-savvy.
• Millennials got hammered by student loan debt, which was then compounded by the Great Recession. The results are years of economic struggle and delayed major milestones such as starting families and buying houses.
• They were the first to force others to break stereotypes of their generation.

The children of Generation X are known as Generation Z. They were born between 1997 and 2012. Gen X's main parenting goal was to raise their children so they do not end up like millennials.

Gen Z turns to the web for everything, from entertainment to news. They choose the entertainment of YouTube or TikTok over traditional outlets and spend about 50 hours per week on social media.

• Right from childhood, Elon Musk preferred books over people, often devouring them at one go.
• He was an introvert and a deep thinker and began to gather deep insights about life and how to shape humanity and the future of mankind.
• Musk eventually developed a practical and efficient approach towards goals and carried the drive to follow through.

Elon Musk shows the world how big, audacious goals can be achieved by dividing them into smaller milestones and embracing failure and negative feedback.

His goals are not something he is doing for the media circus, but something in which he is emotionally committed. Goals work when they are bigger than ourselves, enhancing our commitment and responsibility towards them.
