Better Communications Give You More Results In Less Time
By Sandy Karn

Everything takes time and if you want to get more done in less time, then the way you communicate and relate to others will be more efficient when you use the DISC in all your communications.

When talking with a High D person, you will want to say less in less time than most people you talk with because they are primarily a task-oriented person and don't like the small talk and moving slowly.

They wanted results yesterday and will be asking those around them why the results aren't happening faster.  They want to get the job done with as few details as possible and will be very glad to move on to something else to get done with success in a short period of time.

Do you know how to talk to the D people?  Be short and sweet and too the point and if they don't have much of an I in their behavioral style, you really don't have to be that sweet about it either.

When you notice a primary characteristic in a person, try to notice what other primary/secondary characteristic surfaces in their behaviors.  Are they friendly and at the same time moving at a faster pace?  If they are, they might be both a High D and a High I.

If they show more Directness with their D than the Interactive with their I, they are probably a D with less I that could still be pretty high.  If so, then make sure you are also friendly with these people.  They are both task-oriented and people-oriented so you will want to accommodate both.

Remember that we are all made up of all the styles, but we each have a different intensity of expression in our D I  S C.

What if you see the High D along with some High S behavior? What would that look like?  This person could have some conflict going on because they really want the results and can cope with conflict because of their D part, but that S part of them would do anything to avoid conflict.

Because they are the achievement type of personality, you want to help them get their results, but if you can help them keep the harmony in their environment, they'll love you for it.

Take a moment with everyone you meet to figure out what is their style, then you can communicate the way they like to communicate and you'll get more results when you do.

Time is Everything
By: Hifzur Rehman

Time is wealth;

Time is health;

Time is power;

Time is strength;

Time is the essence of life;

Time is everything


But time is nothing, without proper planning.

It's just the wastage of time.

And God never forgive those who waste their time.

All influential people,

All important people,

All successful people,

Have one thing in common

They all value their time.
 
For them, Time is everything!
Do you value your time and the time of others?

 Dementia Test
Test for Dementia Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK? Let's find out just how clever you really are.

First Question:

You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second! To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took for the first question.

Second Question:

If you overtake the last person, then you are...?

Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?

Third Question:

Very tricky math! Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it. Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000 Now add 10. What is the total? Scroll down for answer.

Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100. Don't believe it? Check with your calculator!

Fourth Question:

Answers to the Quiz _(\_/)_(\_/)_
1. Economists
2. Rust, Trust and rap- trap
hair, chair and ream - cream 
hut, shut and old - sold
right, bright and ail- bail.
earn, yearn and east, yeast
3. Susan = 20, Mary=39 and Jim =41 years
Solutin: Suppose Susan'age as s and Mary's age as M.
Since Mary is 19 years older M=s+19
One year ago Mary was twice as old as Susan, so we get:
2(S-1) = M -1
2s-2=S+19-1
S=20
M=39
Jim next year would be 2(20+1). That gives his present age
J=41
