Global warming

The Earth's average temperature has increased by about 1 degree Fahrenheit. Evidence of this are the spring ice thaw, which occurs now 9 days earlier in the Northern Hemisphere than it did 150 years ago. Similarly, the fall ice freeze begins 10 days later than it used to.

A significant portion of Earth's fresh water supply comes from melting glaciers. With global warming and dilapidating glaciers, it wont be long that fresh water supply will severely be hampered. For example, Montana's Glacier National Park had 150 glaciers in 1910; and now it has less than 30 greatly shrunken glaciers. The same is the case in the tropics. Mount Kilimanjaro has melted by around 80% since 1912 and could be totally gone by 2020.

Leadership

Are you willing to become a leader? If yes, start figuring out ways how you can take hold of a large group of people and motivate them to make your devoted followers. Be it a social leader, spiritual leader, political leader, or a dictator, you cannot do without having good knowledge of human psychology, and probably history. This knowledge is what leaders use at their foray to manipulate people to achieve goals.

Here, the obvious question is, why do you want to be a leader? What driving forces do you have that people start believing in u? Simple, you should know what people lack and are willing to get. A look-back into history will give you enough examples of how great leaders were born, what they wanted, and finally what they did achieve. Decide upon these facts, and maybe you will be in a better position.

The Art of Talking

Talking is a positive attribute, a certain power that few people use as their aides. Talking can help us make friends (enemies either), and help other feel included in a group. However, we often get caught up in aimless talking or gossiping and rather forget to think before we open our mouths.

How harmful gossiping is?

Gossiping is about talking your heart out (not your brains…remember). Simple gossiping can put you, your family, your friends adrift, and can damage relationships. You cannot imagine how much you are putting at stake when you indulge yourself in a heartwarming gossip.

Three questions you can ask yourself to check whether you are indulging in a gossip. First, is the news you are sharing fit enough to be shared? Second, does the person know that you would be sharing the news with others? Third, how would you have reacted if you were in his place?

Be sure that if you gossip, it will certainly come back to you at a time when you will be least prepared and will eventually hurt yourself. The moral of the story, "Do unto others what you would have them do to you."
