Stop making excuses and clean up the clutter in your home! It'll make you feel better and make your living space look better as well! Ask yourself these questions and get rid of your items based on your answers. And when we say dispose of your clutter, we mean either sell it, donate it, recycle it, give it away to friends and family, or throw it away.

1. Have I used this in the last year?

If your answer is no, it's time to toss.

2. If I were shopping right now, would I buy this?

If the current you wouldn't buy this item now, why would you even keep it?

Simon Sinek - Leaders eat last

Mi tesz valakit jó vezetővé? Simon Sinek menedzsment szakember szerint az, ha az illető alkalmazottai biztonságban érzik magukat, és mindannyian a bizalom körén belülre kerülnek. Ám a bizalom és biztonság megteremtéséhez - különösen egy hullámzó gazdaságban - jelentős felelősséget is fel kell vállalni!

Leaders eat last - Mi a különbség a főnök és a vezető között? How not to be bossy, but a good mother, father, leader?

Intelligent trees

Trees talk, know family ties and care for their young? Is this too fantastic to be true? German forester Peter Wohlleben ('The Hidden Life of Trees') and scientist Suzanne Simard (The University of British Columbia, Canada) have been observing and investigating the communication between trees over decades. And their findings are most astounding. 

Intelligent Trees from Dorcon Film on Vimeo.

Trees are so much more than rows of wood waiting  to be turned into furniture, buildings or firewood. They are more than organisms producing oxygen or cleaning the air for us. They are individual beings that have feelings, know friendship have a common language and look after each other. This documentary explores the various ways that trees communicate with each other- from a forester's observations as well as through the microscope of a scientist.

---

If the themes of harmony, connection, and collaboration between humans and trees in the movie Avatar inspired you, stand by. That fiction was inspired in part by real life trees... And scientists, as it turns out. But there's more. Much more. And it has global implications for us all (Rachel Clark, "Smart Trees teach via new Film and Bestselling Book", Psychology Today).

Together, Wohlleben and Simard are a tree dream team (Melissa Breyer, "Trees can form bonds like an old couple and look after each other ", Treehugger.com).

What Color is Your True Personality?

Dr. Carol Ritberger, a world-famous behavioral psychologist, and author, believes there are four distinct personality types in the world. These are symbolized by the colors red, orange, yellow, and green.

Understanding one’s personality is necessary for making important life decisions like what to pursue for a future career or what makes one passionate. By understanding one’s key personality traits, it is easier to understand one’s self and what makes him or her tick.

Knowing your personality and yourself is key to a happy, fulfilling life.

How to change your negative thoughts

Change your thinking - survival growth mindset

The average person has 65,000 thoughts per day. Up to 95% of these are the same thoughts as yesterday. That’s a lot of thoughts – and every single thought means an associated change in mood. So if you think something positive, you feel better and if you think something negative… you feel worse.

Many famous people throughout history have spoken on the importance of thoughts and how they can affect us and our lives. Mahatma Gandhi said:

A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes.

CV

Csak röviden az önéletrajzírásról:

- minden céghez másféle önéletrajzot írj és a pályázott álláshoz illő képességeidre fektesd a hangsúlyt!

- a fotó ne legyen túl harsány, túl színes, túl nevetős, ha csatolsz (nem szükséges)

- 20 másodperced van arra, hogy megfogd a felvételiztető figyelmét: emeld ki a fontosabb képességeidet, feladataidat, céljaidat, az egész legyen jól elrendezett, átlátható, 1 oldalon férjen el, indokolt esetben 2 oldal
- Ha szülségét érzed, zárhatod ezzel a mondattal: References are available upon request - és akkor gyűjtsd is össze őket, névvel, telefonnal, külön lapon (ne küldd el).

- használj többféle szótárt a szakszavak fordításához, oldalt belinkeltem pár jót. Ha nem találsz egy szót, kifejezést, gondolkozz szinonimákban.

Don’t be like everybody else - Hijacking your child's education

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=ZSRaJIMY-Ms

You gave a talk at TEDxQUT about hijacking your kids’ education. What does that mean, exactly?
I saw all these kids who had made themselves into little hoop-jumpers. All of a sudden, for seniors in high school in October, it’s, “Oh, jeez, I need to join some clubs and get my grades up, and then I’ll go to Harvard.” And then whining, “Well, I got all ‘A’s, and I joined Model U.N.” But that’s just not what it’s about. You have to make your own self remarkable. Make them say, “Wow, this couldn’t be any other child.” Don’t be like everybody else.

Eight simple ways to avoid being manipulated

Psychological manipulation occurs when one person is used for the benefit of another. The manipulator deliberately creates an imbalance of power, and exploits the victim to serve his or her agenda.
Preston Ni, an expert in communication, offers eight simple ways to help you avoid this.

Dealing with toxic people is an art

  Dealing with toxic people is an art. If you want to know the best way to handle them, take it from those who are emotionally intelligent.

Life can be pretty stressful at times. We have bills, appointments, overfilled schedules, and random unfortunate events which we have no control over. Then there’s the icing on the cake…toxic people.
For many of us, we deal with toxic people on a daily basis and they can be difficult to avoid. Navigating around a toxic person or their conversations is a tedious skill, but a few people have mastered it. They are known as emotionally intelligent.

Of course, it is never easy to deal with a toxic person. Their overly dramatic attitudes, lies, and manipulation tactics can drive a person insane- if they let it. Practice and patience are two very useful tools when dealing with someone you would rather avoid, but it does get easier with time.
If you want to know how to have the upper hand when dealing with a toxic person, take it from someone who has experience.

Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist

Fifteen years after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Michael J. Fox tells his personal story of how he turned his challenges into opportunities in his new book, "Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist." His first book, Lucky Man, documenting his career and his experience with Parkinson's disease, which, nine years after diagnosis in 1991, forced the end of his full-time acting career. Struck with Parkinson's, a debilitating, degenerative disease, at the height of his fame, Fox has taken what some might consider cause for depression and turned it into a beacon of hope for millions. Now, in Always Looking Up, he writes about the personal philosophy that carried him through his darkest hours, and speaks with others who have emerged from difficult periods with optimisms to spare.

Hogyan tanulhatsz könnyebben szóbelire... egy ötlet. 

Csinálhatsz saját kártyákat, ha pl. vizsgára készülsz, a szóbeli tételek egy meghatározó mondatával... és bármely látható helyre kirakhatod... önbizalmat ad, annyit látod majd, hogy magától bemegy a fejedbe... könnyebb lesz beszélni a vizsgán :-) vagy az életben... legyen köztük neked tetsző témájú kártya is, sorozatcímekből, filmcímekből, könyvcímekből, számok címeiből!!!!

Te milyeneket csinálnál?  Én egy időben telecetliztem a konyha falát és a toiletajtót :-)

Ne kapjon el a lustaság, keress motivációt, inspiráld és trenírozd magad - ---  a célod fontos!!

Elő az ambíciókkal és a lelkesedéssel - ha mások azt mondják neked, nem fog menni,  akkor biztos, hogy jó úton jársz! Mutasd meg a világnak, ki vagy! Találd meg a helyed, és segíts másoknak is megtalálni a hangjukat!  A humort, a játékot, a kisünnepléseket el ne hagyd!

All the thing I wish I have done --- Minden(ről), amit bárcsak megtettem volna  ---  Soha nincs késő!

Couch potato - Are you lazy?

According to the British Heart Foundation, 13 to 15 year olds are spending too much time
doing sedentary activities such as watching TV or playing computer games. A special
report describes a generation of couch potatoes, young people sitting around at home,
growing up in their bedrooms, travelling by car and in serious danger of heart disease as they
get older. Is this their fault? Are young people lazy?

Hiánypótló kifejezések, idiómák, frázisok, nyelvi érdekességek  - fordításhoz, élő nyelvhasználathoz


Ezek olyan állandósult szókapcsolatok, melyeket a köznapi angol nyelvben gyakran használnak. Ennél jóval több van belőlük, de ez az adag sem kevés. Nem szerepelnek itt az alapból megtanultak: ask for, look for, look after, watch out, viszont ezek a nyelvkönyvekben, tananyagban szerepelnek, és előfordulásuk, használatuk jóval gyakoribb. Az itt szereplő szókapcsolatok jobbára extra kifejezések, fordításhoz adnak segítséget.

Nyelvvizsgára is érdemes párat (nem sokat!) megtanulni, a lényeg, hogy biztosan tudjuk használni. Mondattal együtt könnyebb megjegyezni, csinálhatunk belőle kis kártyákat is. Mindig érdemes vizsgák előtt a "tarsolyunkban" tartani ezekből a különlegességekből is. Válassz olyat, amivel gyakrabban találkoztál és használd őket! Egészítsd ki a listádat! Így gyakorolsz is. Az pedig ugye a tudás anyukája. :-)

Az online fordító-oldalak általában nem képesek jól fordítani ezeket a szóösszetételeket.

What Intelligence is Your Most Dominant

Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner developed the Theory of Multiple Intelligences that suggests all of us have a dominant intelligence “modality”.
Howard Gardner initially formulated a list of seven intelligences. His listing was provisional. The first two have been typically valued in schools; the next three are usually associated with the arts; and the final two are what Howard Gardner called ‘personal intelligences’ (Gardner 1999: 41-43).

Stephen Hawking’s Beautiful Message For Anyone With Depression

Stephen Hawking has one of the greatest minds of our time. He is well known for his work in theoretical physics, and was born on January 8, 1942, (300 years after the death of Galileo) in Oxford, England. As a young child, he wanted to study mathematics, but once he began college, he studied Natural Sciences. Then, during his first year in Cambridge at the age of 21, Hawking began to have symptoms of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). Doctors gave him two and a half years to live.

Te miért tanulsz angolul?

A fenti kérdés a legegyszerűbb és a legfontosabb kérdés: maga a cél fontos! A benned rejlő belső hajtóerő, a külső motiváció ÉS az elhatározás együttesen.

Van bármilyen kizárólagos és pofonegyszerű módszer, ami biztosan működik? Elkeserítelek, de nincs.

Hogyan érdemes belefogni?

Mindig az első lépés a legnehezebb, hogy átrendezd életed és minden egyes alkalmat megragadhass, hogy tanulhass. Ó igen, tanulni kell. Minden Egyes Nap.

Benned a kulcs. TE vagy a kulcs. Akarod-e, legyőzöd-e a kifogásaid, és kilépsz a konfortzónádból, kitekintesz a dobozodból és minden alkalmat megragadsz arra, hogy hogy ne félj hibázni és ha nem is tökéletesen, de bátran beszélj!

Nézz körül! Keress pozitív embereket, akiknek sikerült! Gyűjts tőlük ötleteket és próbáld ki valamennyit! Aztán szép lassan kialakul a saját igényeid és tempód szerinti tanulási módszered!

A memorizálás apró fortélyait se feledjük: Ismétlés a tudás anyukája – mondanánk..

Vagyis hogyan érdemes úgy tanulni, hogy meg is maradjon a fejedben?

3-szor hallgatva lecsillapul bennünk az érzés. Maradj kitartó.

Próbáld ki ezt a módszert: először csak hallgasd, majd még egyszer, de olvasd is, aztán újra hallgasd meg felirattal!

Menni fog! De magad is kitalálhatsz más módszert, a lényeg, ne add fel, egyszer nem elég meghallgatni. Kell a fókusz!

Minden nap megnézek egy rövidebb videót, vagy filmet, amiben lehetőleg nincs sok szleng. Nyelvvizsgán azt annyira nem preferálják. :-))
