Charm-The Lost Art

The expressions of charm are endless. It is the vivacious lady who can keep a crowd in roars of laughter, but wouldn’t you say that a quiet girl who walks off with the season’s brightest beau has charm too?

Charm can’t be confined in any rule or particular set of actions. Charm lies in being yourself- your best self. It lies in complete naturalness.

Charm is the next best asset after looks and brains and can almost make up for looks. How do you attain charm? Some say it’s instinctual, others say it can be practiced consistently in order to acquire it. You have charm if:

You let other people know about the things you love.
Announce your interests, hobbies, passions , predilections and let it be known. On the contrary if you are a basic hater, cynical and all around hostile person , no amount of talent, skill, brilliance or fame you have could anyone describe you as charming.
Empathy is a big part of charm.
Show an appreciation of how other people are thinking and feeling. You can do this by paraphrasing what they say. Restate it in your own words. If someone says”more rain what a miserable day” you can say “yes, the weather’s been lousy. It is miserable”.

Charm is all about defying your difficulties. Whoever you are and whatever you do, you have your own set of obstacles to overcome either inner or outer or both. Your strength of personality is enhance by the way you carry your special burden. It may be small or something great. The size of it is not as important as the opinion you have of yourself because of it. Deep within you is the strength to bear anything. The nobility to be willing to do so and the intelligence to create magnificently and beautifully, come what may. Become the kind of woman who can rise above every seeming obstacle and be delightfully charming.

Zeroing In On Self Discipline

“He who conquers his self is mightier than he who conquers a city.” I forgot who said that line but the message stuck with me. It means have control over yourself first before you can have control over other things outside of yourself.. Private victories precede public victories. It all starts within you. Self- discipline and self control are major components if you want to master yourself. Self-mastery is a pre-requisite to transforming yourself into changed and better individual. The words self discipline and self control are enough to make you cringe. It means deprivation. It means loss of freedom. Sacrifice. Delayed gratification . But think of the rewards when you are able to discipline yourself. It’s enough to get you motivated. What separates the winners from the average people is that the winners reach a level of self-mastery accomplished through self discipline. Winners do not lose heart and become devastated by their misfortunes. They don’t become slaves to bad habits. They...

Selling Medical Equipments and Supplies

I live in a country where rice is the staple food. And what does it mean? It means that a major percentage of the population are diabetics. Rice when processed by our digestive system become glucose. So that means too much sugar in our bodies. Anyways, how do we see that as a money making opportunity as well as helping diabetics? It’s really pretty simple. This is how my cousin and I did it. My cousin works for a multinational company that deals with medical equipments and supplies. He got a huge discount if he purchases merchandise from where he worked. He supplied me with blood glucose monitoring systems (the portable ones) and test strips. ( the paper strip where in you put trickles of your blood to be inserted in the portable machine to know you blood sugar level.) I made money selling those monitoring systems for a profit or I charged for a fee if a person wants to know his or her blood sugar level or I sold the test strips only. I got like residual income from people with diabete...
