Ans.

3. Prepare a self-improvement plan for one of your goals. Plan for one of your goals
giving details of an Action Plan along with time frame for achievement. Ans. These are the self improvement plan with details of Action plan . My goal it to be entrepreneur with in a one year and I m doing work direction of this goal. I m looking to self improve for this post .There are some action plans for that :1) First of all, make sure it is YOUR goal. Do not attempt to do something just because someone else wants you do. Success comes from owning the process and wanting the outcome. Just because your spouse wants you to work at home does not mean that its your cup of tea and that you will be successful. Your heart has to be in it all the way. Goals without buy-in are simply wishes. 2) Dont call it a goal. You have to treat it as a done-deal. You know that most people do not keep their New Years Resolutions. Thats because they see them as aspirational, not mandatory. A definite business goal is different. Never forget that success is a mindset. If you Think it, and Believe it, you will Do it. Some people prefer to call goals Promises because studies have shown that people tend to keep promises. As Yoda said, There is no try. Either you do or you dont. 3)Clearly identify your steps to achieve your outcome and write it down. A common methodology for goal-setting is represented by the moniker S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic, Time-Specific). Each and every goal should have at least these five elements. Vague generalities are not goals. Wanting to do something is different from planning to do something. When we say goals need to be specific, it needs to have as much detail as you can imagine. Measurable means that it has to have some way to determine whether or not you are making progress or have achieved the desired outcome. Actionable means that you have to be able to do something to make it happen. Realistic is important. If you set a goal that you cannot possibly attain, its a wish. Goals are realistic and then they build on each other. The last element is time-specific. You must set a deadline so you can determine if you are on track toward success. Learning to set SMART goals will make success become almost automatic. 4) Identify things or people who motivate you. The motivation can either be positive (you are happy when you think about achieving it) or negative (the thing or person makes you mad and you want to succeed to spite them). When your confidence is lacking, look to your motivators to keep you focused and on track. For instance, if you are feeling down and dont want to tackle that next project on your to-do list, reward yourself with a positive motivator when you complete your task. 5) Create a Plan for success. Your plan should include a written statement of your objectives, your timeline, your ultimate outcome, and what steps you need to take today to put the plan into action. As time goes on, your plan will change and you will be able to identify the next step. Dont be discouraged if you cant identify every step immediately. Just plan to go as far as you can and adjust along the way. Knowing why you want to achieve what you are aiming at is important. If its in writing, you can limit goal slippage and keep yourself focused on what your objectives.
6) Review your Plan every day. Use visual reminders, index cards, posters, photos, whatever works for you. Keep it in front of you daily. Put a copy in your car, on the breakfast table, on the bathroom mirror anywhere you will be forced to look at it. Make reviewing your goals and your plans a habit as automatic as brushing your teeth every day. The more you review, the more you will be convinced that it can be achieved. Do something every day to move toward your goal. Small progress adds up to big results. If you can spend 5 to 10 minutes each day thinking about your next step, and then putting that step into action your goal will get closer and closer to reality. 7) Tell yourself you will succeed. Self-talk, self-affirmation works. Henry Ford was right: Whether you think you can or you think you cant, youre right. The size of the success is determined by the size of the belief. Dont dream small dream BIG. Its more fun that way, and you just might surprise yourself and make it. 8) Tell others of your plan. But caution: stay away from nay-sayers. If they are not supportive, do not look to them for support. Surround yourself with positive people and look for people who will support your goals. If you can recruit others to help you, so much the better. When a team of people all focus on one goal and everyones success, it makes it much more likely to be achieved. Telling others makes you accountable. If your goals are secret and no one else knows whether you succeed or fail, youve lost all opportunity for peer pressure and community support. Peer pressure can be a wonderful motivator. 9) Envision the result and see the conclusion. Any time you feel worried or doubt that you can achieve what you have set out to do, turn it around and think of all you have to be grateful for. You are working toward a better life and you should be proud of yourself. Reaching for a goal, stretching yourself beyond where you are is growth. A person who is growing is becoming more of the person they were put on this earth to be. 10) Get started today. After all, when is the best time to set a goal? NOW! Procrastination will not create results. There will never be a right time, a perfect moment to change your life. Theres no reason to wait because you never know what tomorrow brings. Every journey starts with one step, and your journey to success starts with deciding what you want to achieve and setting a path to get there. It doesnt take more brains, or more talent, or more money, or more anything. Everyone has within them the power and ability to achieve almost anything if they truly want it and believe in themselves. So dont sell yourself short. Just go for it.

In the world today there so many languages which even the best linguist cannot interpret, this shows that language alone cannot effect communication for people who communicate different languages. There are some other things that cannot be communicated using language such as drawings where by to explain to someone you need a real drawing for him/her to understand.
2. Mention the different sub skills of writing. Discuss the importance of each one of
them Ans . In the previous unit you learnt that some of the sub skills of writing are:1. The ability to write syntactically correct sentences. 2.

3. Write a paragraph on the influence of television on children. Write the second and
third drafts of the same pointing out the changes made on each occasion. Ans. The greatest influence on children of today is television. It has become one of the most popular inventions. As time progresses, television is becoming more and more relevant in the lives of children. With it Children have been able to watch shows designed specifically for children and also historical moments. Historical moments like when men first walked on the moon or Chicago having it's first black mayor. They watch television while they eat, to entertain guest, before they go to bed, and to play video games. So as television has saturated our lives it has be
They can be bitter or sweet, soft or hard, friendly or hostile, up-building or demoralizing. Selecting the right word can be vitally important. By looking up words when reading, your vocabulary is enlarged. These words are then used when appropriate. Though we recognize many words we don't use, the object is to use words until they are well-known. Cultivating our ability to speak well requires effort. Malaprop comedians get laughs when using wrong words, but anyone else could offend listeners and lose clarity. Some words are similar with slightly different meanings, for use in different circumstances. The dictionary is full of synonyms and antonyms. Different expressions have the same meanings or different shades of meaning. Wordiness can bury thoughts, so it's best to express yourself in as few words as possible. When this becomes easy, descriptive words can be added, for color, variety and shades of meaning. The prime object of speaking is still to convey information. If speech is monotonous or too difficult, others will not understand you. Being needlessly technical with those who do not normally know your technical vocabulary is counterproductive. It's not necessary to impress people with complex speech and long words, but it is important that others grasp your meaning. Correct words, which are easily understood, help make speech stimulating, not dull. Also, pronunciation must be correct. Here again, a dictionary helps. However, listening to those who are well-known for correct pronunciation is even better. To avoid slurring words together, dropping endings and talking through one's teeth, it is necessary to practice good diction. That means an open mouth and distinct enunciation. Mouths are not really as wide open as they feel.

Trust: To love someone is to trust someone. Trust people you love more openly and watch the difference in your life! The more you develop the ability to trust people, the more complete you would feel! Having faith in a person and building up the trust between people would surely give a whole new meaning to ones life. Often in this rat race, we lose our ability to trust people for our own personal fears. Morality: To be a good human being you would also need to have your sense of morality intact. However, this is yet another quality which is often forgotten in our daily lives. To have the quality of morality would make you capable of distinguishing between what is good and evil. It is about practicing the right ethics in your personal as well as professional life. Having your sense of ethics intact would always make you a more responsible human being. Sense of Humility: To be humble is a virtue and knowing about this fine human quality and practicing the same in your everyday life would help you to reach a sense of fulfillment. Humility means being humble towards others no matter the proportions of your wealth or your achievements. A humble person is known by the greatness of his/her acts in helping people rather than harping about materialistic achievements in life.
Forgiveness: To forgive someones mistake would take a lot of courage and open mindedness from your side. Forgiveness towards others for theirs selfish and hurtful acts, which may have disturbed you, is a very fine human quality one can have. To forgive such people would give you complete peace of mind instead of nurturing ill feelings towards that particular person. Besides, if a person would ask for forgiveness, it would always be better to forgive a person to keep you happy from within.
3. List out the qualities in you that need improvement from the point of view of Man
Management skills. Prepare an action plan for improvement. Ans. There are some Qualities :1. Public Speaking The ability to speak clearly, persuasively, and forcefully in front of an audience whether an audience of 1 or of thousands is one of the most important skills anyone can develop. People who are effective speakers come across as more comfortable with themselves, more confident, and more attractive to be around. Being able to speak effectively means you can sell anything products, of course, but also ideas, ideologies, worldviews. And yourself which means more opportunities for career advancement, bigger clients, or business funding. 2. Writing Writing well offers many of the same advantages that speaking well offers: good writers are better at selling products, ideas, and themselves than poor writers. Learning to write well involves not just mastery of grammar but the development of the ability to organize ones thoughts into a coherent form and target it to an audience in the most effective way possible. Given the huge amount of text generated by almost every transaction from court briefs and legislation running into the thousands of pages to those foot-long receipts you get
when you buy gum these days a person who is a master of the written word can expect doors to open in just about every field. 3. Self-Management If success depends on effective action, effective action depends on the ability to focus your attention where it is needed most, when it is needed most. Strong organizational skills, effective productivity habits, and a strong sense of discipline are needed to keep yourself on track. 4. Networking Networking is not only for finding jobs or clients. In an economy dominated by ideas and innovation, networking creates the channel through which ideas flow and in which new ideas are created. A large network, carefully cultivated, ties one into not just a body of people but a body of relationships, and those relationships are more than just the sum of their parts. The interactions those relationships make possible give rise to innovation and creativity and provide the support to nurture new ideas until they can be realized. 5. Critical Thinking We are exposed to hundreds, if not thousands, of times more information on a daily basis than our great-grandparents were. Being able to evaluate that information, sort the potentially valuable from the trivial, analyze its relevance and meaning, and relate it to other information is crucial and woefully under-taught. Good critical thinking skills immediately distinguish you from the mass of people these days. 6. Decision-Making The bridge that leads from analysis to action is effective decision-making knowing what to do based on the information available. While not being critical can be dangerous, so too can over-analyzing, or waiting for more information before making a decision. Being able to take in the scene and respond quickly and effectively is what separates the doers from the wannabes. 7. Math You dont have to be able to integrate polynomials to be successful. However, the ability to quickly work with figures in your head, to make rough but fairly accurate estimates, and to understand things like compound interest and basic statistics gives you a big lead on most people. All of these skills will help you to analyze data more effectively and more quickly and to make better decisions based on it. 8. Research Nobody can be expected to know everything, or even a tiny fraction of everything. Even within your field, chances are theres far more that you dont know than you do know. You dont have to know everything but you should be able to quickly and painlessly find out what you need to know. That means learning to use the Internet effectively, learning to use a library, learning to read productively, and learning how to leverage your network of contacts and what kinds of research are going to work best in any given situation. 9. Relaxation Stress will not only kill you, it leads to poor decision-making, poor thinking, and poor socialization. So be failing to relax, you knock out at least three of the skills in this list and really more. Plus, working yourself to death in order to keep up, and not having any time to enjoy the fruits of your work, isnt really success. Its obsession. Being able to face even the most pressing crises with your wits about you and in the most productive way is possibly the most important thing on this list. 10. Basic Accounting
It is a simple fact in our society that money is necessary. Even the simple pleasures in life, like hugging your child, ultimately need money or youre not going to survive to hug for very long. Knowing how to track and record your expenses and income is important just to survive, let alone to thrive. But more than that, the principles of accounting apply more widely to things like tracking the time you spend on a project or determining whether the value of an action outweighs the costs in money, time, and effort. Its a shame that basic accounting isnt a required part of the core K-12 curriculum.
4. Identify the significant things which you are using at home or office and indicate
some improvement or new ideas that would make them better. Ans.
5. Make a note some of the important etiquette pertaining to telephone and cell
communication. Ans. Telephone etiquettes:- * Let the telephone ring a reasonable length of time. It is frustrating to just get to the telephone and hear a dial tone. * If you dial a number that is wrong, apologize, promptly and hang-up. * Calling a business at or very near closing time is to say the least un-thoughtful. When it is time to go home, after a long day, do not delay them. * State your name when placing a call. The game of "guess who this is" may not play very well to a busy friend. * When speaking to anyone who is working and time is of the essence, make your call informative and short. *Dial carefully and in proper lighting to avoid calling a wrong number and in-conveniencing others. Cell Communication Ettiquetes:- Switching it Off : Know when to turn it off or vibrate it. eg meetings, movies, worship, seminars, etc . Vibrate mode when in places where you can take a call, but don't want to disturb others. Be Brief : When you get a call and you're with friends, keep the call short. Permission : Often, it is correct etiquette to inform others at the beginning of the meeting that you are expecting an important call and get their permission. Be Polite : Don't scream : speak in a lower-than-normal voice, you will be heard by the caller, and not others in the room Don't Distract : Avoid talking where you may be distracting to others.
Driving : It is not only very dangerous, but also unlawful in most countries ( even India ) to drive & talk on your cell Phone
5. When taking a gift for your Hindu hosts who invite a person to their home, remember that some Hindu households follow a vegetarian diet and do not consume alcohol. For those who do, it is usually safer to avoid bringing in alcohol, as most do not drink at home or in the presence of elders of the family. If the host follows a non-vegetarian diet, beef and beef products [such as gelatin and rennet] are strictly against their religious beliefs so avoid food items that may have these additives such as jelly, Skittles, marshmallows or cheese (if made of rennet). 6. Many Indian households expect visitors to leave their footwear at the main door of their house. 7. It is considered immature and boorish to open a gift in front of the person who has given it. Gifts are opened in private. 8. Eating, accepting goods or making payments with the left hand can be a faux pas (as it is associated with hygiene and cleanliness - left hand is unclean). In some situations, using both hands together is a sign of respect, such as a handshake, offering a gift or giving something in the temple. Cell Phone Etiquette:- Switching it Off : Know when to turn it off or vibrate it. eg meetings, movies, worship, seminars, etc . Vibrate mode when in places where you can take a call, but don't want to disturb others. Be Brief : When you get a call and you're with friends, keep the call short.
Permission : Often, it is correct etiquette to inform others at the beginning of the meeting that you are expecting an important call and get their permission. Be Polite : Don't scream : speak in a lower-than-normal voice, you will be heard by the caller, and not others in the room Don't Distract : Avoid talking where you may be distracting to others. Driving : It is not only very dangerous, but also unlawful in most countries ( even India ) to drive & talk on your cell Phone
of the credit themselves, when it is the people under them that do all of the work. In my experience, this quickly destroys any sense of teamwork.
I think it is also important that a leader be a good listener. Team members quickly lose interest in a project if they feel they have no real input.
These thoughts will go a long way toward ensuring that you have a successful team in whatever endeavor you find yourself.
4) You can communicate if you are far away from a person. The person can see but not hear you. 5) Non-verbal communication makes conversation short and brief. 6) You can save on time and use it as a tool to communicate with poeple who don't understand your language. The disadvantages of non-verbal communication are: 1) You can not have long conversation. 2) Can not discuss the particulars of your message 3) Difficult to understand and requires a lot of repetitions. 4) Can not be used as a public tool for communication. 6) Less influential and can not be used everywhere. 7) Not everybody prefers to communicate through non-verbal communication. 8) Can not create an impression upon people/listeners.
following paragraphs: explain your reasons for writing in more detail, provide background information etc. last paragraph: summarise your reason for writing again and make clear what you want the recipient to do
Q: Tell us about another senior, Hillary Downs. A: Hillary plays centerfield for us and bats second in the lineup. She does a great job as the #2 hitter, because she handles the bat well. Depending on the situation, she can bunt or hit with power, which makes her successful. As an outfielder, Hillary has one of the best arms Ive seen. She really helps us out in the field. Also, Hillary is a great student. Shes a marketing major.
Q: How did Hillary end up at JSU? A: Of our four seniors, Hillary is the only one that is a junior college transfer. She played at Central Alabama Community College. When we look at potential transfers from a junior college, we look for someone with good credentials. Hillary was in the running for the Junior College Player of the Year her sophomore year. She fit in immediately and played in every game. Bringing in a player like Hillary really helps because she brings with her experience and maturity. More to come about the JSU softball team tomorrow...
