Great Relationship lessons we can learn from our parents

-

Family is priority
For your parents, there is nothing that can possibly come before family. You may have often noticed them making it a point to spend quality time with their parents on a regular basis. No matter how busy they get in their day to day work, they will manage time to either have a tea or coffee with the family or just sit together and watch TV together. Have you ever given a thought why did your parents insist on celebrating your birthdays together? That’s because they know there is nothing more important than family.

Small things matter
There is nothing more pleasant than knowing that your mother would be eagerly waiting for you with something refreshing to drink or eat when you reach home from office in the evening. You feel on top of the world on seeing your dad rushing outside to get medicines when you feel sick regardless of the time of day. All such things may seem insignificant, but these small things, when part of a daily life, are as significant as anything else.

Fights are not wars
You may not want to admit it but truth is, we all have seen our parents fight. Haven’t we? Half of times they fight for small reasons and sometimes they do fight on major ones. But those fights are like part and parcel of any married couple’s life. They never turn into" I hate you and I don’t want to see you face ever again" types, instead they are arguments that are actually healthy. So, what's here for us is to learn how not to take fights seriously.

 Living within your income isn’t tough after all
None us of like it when our parents tell us think twice before spending money on anything. You never understand why your dad still drives that old car when he can afford a new SUV. Well, that because they know how to run a house within ones income. Your parents might not have done PhD. in economics but they still get their financial planning absolutely right. They had enjoyed when they wanted to and they took a step back when they needed too. Won’t be it amazing if you could do the same?

Love is love even when you don’t say it often
You know what’s a rare phenomenon? Seeing your parents say 'I love you' to each other that is! You would see them sitting on the sofa and watch TV together or go for shopping together. They would stand by for each other on good and bad days but you won’t see them saying the words I love you.  Well, they don’t have to because they know they love each other to the core.

Make Your Resume A Breath of Fresh Air

 As a job seeker, it’s easy to see hiring managers as big, bad obstacles that need to be overcome. They’re the gatekeepers, after all. But, this kind of thinking actually leads to weaker job applications. Think about it this way: Hiring managers read a ton of resumes —to the point at which their eyes cross. More importantly, hiring managers are just people. With this in mind, the only thing you really need to do to stand out is to have the one resume that actually lets them breathe a sigh of relief during this painful process. Here are simple things you can do. Make the First Thing on Your Resume Immediately Relevant There’s nothing worse for a hiring manager than having to dig through a resume to find what, exactly, an applicant’s relevant experience entails. Don’t make this harder than it needs to be for the person who will be reading your resume, and make sure the first thing on your resume is something you know he or she wants. Are you applying to a sales position? Titling

Achieving Mutual Gain in any Negotiation

-

When the parties in a negotiation are committed to a position, they feel that moving from that position is a failure. Instead, the focus should be given to their purposes. To achieve mutual gain, focus should be given on interests, rather than positions. An environment of respect and discipline should be prevalent between both the parties. For example, in a school, one party favours uniforms, the other opposes it. The reasons for the first party to support uniforms is to avoid circumstances where students wear casuals, because it may give rise to an act of bullying where a person or group may act hostile towards each other regarding their individual style.  The second party is against the use of uniforms because wearing a uniform has its own drawbacks. It makes students easily distinguishable to outsiders. It might even cause financial issues for guardians with limited income. In such a case, the solution is to allow students to dress according to a specific dress code. All

When You Have No Relevant Work Experience

Your resume is essentially a formal introduction of who you are to your potential employer. It should therefore comprise your educational background, former occupational positions, and any other relevant information about you that would come in handy with the specified job description. Lack of relevant job experience is a particularly common problem especially for first time job applicants and could easily stop you from pursuing an employment opportunity. However, this shouldn’t always be the case. As a job seeker with no prior job experience, there are a number of ways you can tweak your resume to stand an equal chance with those who may have several years of experience in their resume. Set and clearly define your goals and objectives on your resume Employers are looking for people who will contribute to their company, you should look at the job position on offer critically and then examine yourself on a personal level, and ask yourself this question. Are you up to the task?
