I love essays! I enjoy reading them, checking them, teaching my students how to generate them, but most of all I enjoy writing them! You want to ask why. I hope after reading my article you will understand. And I so much believe that you will also fall in love with the incredible world of essays. Let’s start our trip from a short background. The word “essay” originated from French word “essai” which means “attempt, effort, sketch”. And this translation reflects the essence of the task you are assigned at your college. Really, it is your personal attempt to give a challenging sketch on some engrossing issue. Unlike other academic assignments, essay suggests freedom of your creative work. Its main advantage is that you can write it on any topic, in any style. Essay is your own point of view on something you have heard, read, seen etc. The forefront of the essay is your personality, your thoughts, feelings and your life position. You have a unique chance to enter a reasonable controversy with other authors, as the teacher expects you to show your erudition in the subject. However, you should remember that regardless freedom of the writing process, it is not that easy at all. Because you are expected to find an original and capturing idea (even in the traditional context) and exceptional opinion on some problem.

The title of essay does not strictly depend on the essay topic: the title can also serve as a starting point in your reflection; it can express the relation of the whole and the parts. A free composition of essay is subject to its inner logic, it is an emphasized position of the author.

The style of the essay is marked by its aphoristic, paradoxical and figurative character. To convey your personal perception of the world you should: employ a lot of capturing examples, draw parallels, choose analogies, use various associations. One of the characteristic features of essay is the wide usage of numerous expressive means, such as metaphors, parable and allegoric figures, symbols and comparisons. Your can enrich and make your essay more interesting if you include in it: unpredictable conclusions, unexpected turning points, interesting clutches of events.Essay presents a dynamic interchange of author’s arguments, supporting evidence and questions.

Be brief, but at the same time avoid absolute simplicity. No one will like reading a monotonous narration. Completing the draft of your essay, read it aloud, yes, aloud. You will be struck by the number of rough details in your essay. You should get rid of them with no regret. If you have to say something new, original and exclusive, then the genre of essay is your genre. Be creative, free your mind and may be you will reveal a great essayist in yourself.

We are all pelted with problems. Honestly, it should not even bother or even hinder us to becoming all we ought to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to live within us, even though it would be short-lived or as long as we could hold on to the dream. They say you cannot teach an old dog new tricks… or can you?

If you are like me, there are so many things you want to do with your life and so little time to do it, even going about your normal daily tasks during the day, seems to take forever. Therefore, I would ask you to delve deep inside yourself to find the answer.

Concentrate and take notice of your Inner Awareness

Inner-Awareness, what does it mean? Well, lets us look at each word individually.

“Inner” means inside, within the essence of our being on some spiritual level.

“Awareness” means one’s perception of reality from one plane or dimension to another.

Therefore, it could be said that “Inner-Awareness” is an attitude, an understanding of ones inner consciousness. An understanding of how one perceives themselves. A true understanding of how you really feel and why you act in the way you do.

Every person in this world has access to their inner awareness. We all live in a very materialistic world that is run by logic and scientific achievement and discovery. For something to be real, you must perceive it with your physical senses. If you’re inner awareness has not been developed and fine-tuned, then you may find many activities and energies around have no conscious awareness for you, so you will be out of touch with your inner self.

Your goal is to create a balance between the physical senses and the inner senses. There are two energies muscular and feminine. A masculine energy is more aggressive, a logical action to take, which results in a creation of something in the physical world. A feminine energy is a more flowing and spontaneous energy that relates more to the spiritual essence of our being. Inherent within all beings are both energies. When they work together, they create a harmonic balance.

A key element in developing your inner awareness’s is to trust an initial response, answer or insight you receive from yourself. For example, how many times have you had an intuitive insight to do something, which made no logical sense at all?

Most of us at sometime, have let our logical mind talk us out of things and then we could kick ourselves later because we missed an opportunity. If your mind is busy, and you are thinking about all the problems in your life and worrying about tomorrow, you could miss some important information or insights that will help you in life. Another thing you may possibly do is not trust your inner self when making a key decision in your life, but you will trust someone else to make the decision for you.

When you use your inner awareness, you receive guidance through your life, and who knows you best? You do, so why not take notice of it.

To receive inner guidance is to trust in yourself and to be open to the incredible and infinite possibilities of the adventures of life that present themselves to you in your lifetime.

I believe when you are spontaneous, you allow your inner awareness to come out and play, that is when you are truly channeling from within. You can tell when you are around a person in this state because they make you feel happy inside. In today’s society we are taught that it is not proper to be spontaneous, that you should act in a certain way and follow certain rules. I believe this subconscious programming is detrimental to your inner health. I feel you should go with your creative flow and be who you are and not worry if other people accept you or not. No matter how nice you try to be or courteous with others there will always be someone who will be disturbed about who you are, and the way you are behaving. This is not a bad thing in itself, because when you see something in another you do not like, that person is mirroring something inside of you that you wish to change.

So lighten up, try to be yourself. With so much happening around us there seems to be no room for even considering the possibility of a light at the end of the tunnel. We can still see it as something positive without undergoing so much scrutiny. Moreover, if it is a train at the end of the tunnel, take it for a ride, and see what makes the world go round!

If history has taught us one thing, it is the life that we have gone through. There’s always the easy way and the right way when it comes to deciding what goes with which shoes, or purse, shirt and whatnot. It doesn’t take a genius to see yourself as someone unique, or else we’ll all be equally the same in everything we do. Variety brings in very interesting and exciting questions to be experimented with. Have you, or is there something more you want to do? Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in large doses, but in small amounts you will be able to see and do stuff you could never imagine doing.

What motivates you? It’s an answer you have to find out for yourself. There are so many things that can make everyone happy, but to choose one of the many may be the hardest part. It’s not as if you can’t have one serving of your favorite food in a buffet and that’s it. Just try it piece by piece.
So, what really makes you tick?

You can be just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that attaining something that may seem very difficult is already giving up before you even start that journey. Always remember, that understand and believing in your own self-awareness is not just about the physical or philosophical change you have to undergo, but it’s something that you really want to believe in and trust.

Trust is the foundation of all successful interpersonal relationships, both personal and business. Trust is the confidence or belief a person feels toward a particular person or group. Trust is, therefore, one of the primary binding forces in any interpersonal relationship. It permits people to overcome doubts and unknowns and enjoy peace of mind. The absence of trust causes confusion, worry, inaction, and fear. When interpersonal trust is present, a person feels a confidence that everything will somehow work out. In the workplace, trust is a prerequisite for effective interpersonal communications. Without trust, employees may feel uncertainty, worry, and a sense of insecurity. No relationship, personal or business, can exist for even a short period of time if some element of trust is not present. Trust is an essential leadership training ingredient that binds any human relationship into an effective, working partnership.

Even though trust is fundamental to human relationships, it is actually misunderstood by many people. People use trust, or the lack of it, to explain good and bad relationships with others. Consider the cliché phrases: “Don’t worry, you can trust me” and “Just trust me.” Trust has become both a buzzword and an excuse in our society. Trust is as much abused as it is used in today’s business world. It is used to define and explain; yet few leadership training programs have seriously considered what it is and what it is not.

Psychologists are just beginning to learn how trust really works. Research suggests that trusting relationships are predictable, caring, and faithful. When a manager’s behavior is consistent over a period of time and another person can reasonably predict that behavior, trust is possible. By contrast, it is difficult to trust a person whose actions are inconsistent or unpredictable.

Caring in a relationship involves actions that express consideration toward the other person. Through effective leadership training, a caring supervisor knows when final exams are scheduled at the local college and asks employees who will be taking the tests how much time off will be needed to study. A caring supervisor finds out about a birth, death, anniversary, graduation, or sickness and sends a card to the employee’s home.

Faith is the belief that an employee’s behavior will be in direct response to the trust placed in that relationship. Faith can be demonstrated by communicating clear expectations and then telling the employee, “I know you and I believe you can accomplish this assignment.” Managers who have difficulty demonstrating faith in others typically have difficulty trusting them as well. Trust as a leadership training component can help change this.

Building trust in the workplace is vital for a long-lasting, satisfying, rewarding, and successful relationship. Leadership training helps effective managers practice behaviors that promote and build trusting relationships. They learn to do this with consistent actions each day. In return they obtain the benefits of high-trust employee relations. These benefits include higher morale, increased initiative, improved honesty, and better productivity. All are important aspects of a profitable and rewarding business experience.

It’s not uncommon for people to use the word “trust” to describe a feeling they have regarding some interpersonal relationships. Trust does not magically appear in a relationship without certain elements preceding it over time. And once trust has been breeched it is difficult and sometimes impossible to establish once again.

Three steps pave the path before enduring trust begins. The first step is effective communications. When we communicate effectively with another person we have an opportunity to move that relationship to the second step, which is real understanding. That is when two people have communicated to the point of honest and deep understanding. This can lead to the third step in the relationship of mutual respect. A respecting relationship demands that each person contribute enough respect that it can be reciprocated back from the other person. Unilateral respect in relationships is temporary and superficial. Mutual respect that can lead to trust is much deeper and must come from communicated understanding. Once a relationship has experienced mutual respect it is possible for the participants to experience enduring relational trust. This is a feeling that binds people together over time and through trials.

The four steps are dependent upon the actions or integrity of the individuals involved. Integrity is not only keeping agreements, but it is also “walking the talk.” If, for example, a person communicates deceitfully, how much understanding will there be? And how much respect will the other person have? Ultimately trust will be lacking.

Enduring trust is a leadership training process that takes time and effort. It is clearly the essence of what fuels meaningful relationships.

Test your Trust

Answer the following five statements on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 is not true and 5 is completely true.

1. My actions each day demonstrate that I trust my employees.
2. My employees can trust me with sensitive or private information.
3. I would never betray a trust with an employee.
4. I keep confidences and would never share confidential information inappropriately.
5. I am able to trust my employees.

Tally your scores from the five items. A total score of 20 to 25 would indicate that you and your employees probably share an atmosphere of trust. A score of 15-19 would indicate that trust is present, but not in abundance. A score of 14 or less probably means that some additional leadership training efforts in building trust would be appropriate.

Summary: If you’ve ever had problems in communication with others because your familiarity with English is not as it should be, then you need to change all that by starting to study courses with a qualified teacher. Choosing the right person to aid you or the right intensive English course is an important decision and should be given a lot of thought as it directly determines the results you will gain at the end of the day.
Have ever had difficulties in communicating with your associates, partners or just friends from abroad because you couldn’t always understand what they were saying or because you couldn’t make yourself understood? Have you been feeling left out of a debate because your knowledge of English was not as advanced as it should be? Did it ever occur to you that your business success was held back by this particular problem and that you could do so much better if you could remedy it? If the above describe a situation you’ve experienced, then it is time to find out how you can tip the scales in your favour.
First of all, acknowledging that it is high time you took some measures is the foremost step in putting the conversational handicap behind you permanently. English has slowly become a universal language, spoken in all fields of activity, from education to business, and it is conventionally established that every person involved must know the minimum required for his message to be understood entirely. Therefore, deciding to study English and get help in trying to overcome your problem is a necessary step and it will pay off almost instantly. All it takes is patience, devotion and hard work, as well as a well qualified teacher or an Intensive English course.
Although the market is bursting with different self-learning courses, cassettes, how-to-learn-at-home videos and other similar items, it is advisable that you acquire the services of a professional English teacher instead. Choosing the latter option will allow you to absorb more information, learn English terminology, and study English phonetics, all in a more natural way and in record time. Certain grammatical and vocabulary issues would be impossible to learn using a cassette, for example, while a qualified professor can lead you through an ongoing study of the matters. Also an important benefit of this kind of learning is its inter-human aspect, allowing you to feel more comfortable throughout the learning process. A residential English summer course could be the ideal answer. A family stay can be ideal but also can prove complicated. Staying in a residence offers independence but if the course organizers can assure a mixture of nationalities then hopefully you will be speaking English all day. A few courses offer the presence of teachers all day, this is obviously very recommendable.
However, you should pay great attention when choosing the person (or institution) that will instruct you as not all so-called “professional teachers” are indeed professional nor have the same qualifications. Neglecting this aspect can result in a series of drawbacks in the knowledge you gain, and consequently the results would not be the ones you had hoped for. Consider devoting a fairly long amount of time to this decision by studying different offers via the Internet or agencies, gathering opinions from people who have acquired the services of a certain teacher and make your choice based on the conclusions you draw from all these sources.
In conclusion, choosing to learn English or to improve your English language skills is a compulsory step, especially in the business world nowadays, as it allows you to make your ideas heard and also comprehend other people’s opinions. Leave your pride aside and get help from a professional and you won’t regret it even for a second.

After 20 years of having courses both accredited and not accredited; we can see that while accreditation controls how bad a college can get; it also controls how good it can get.
By definition, accreditation systems are naturally trying to fit everyone into the same box.
The problem is that when you have an ethical and innovative college that is trying to do a better and more efficient job; the system can become very limiting. It takes money that might otherwise be spent on teaching; and redirects that money into bureaucracy. It stops rapid changes in courses (in a rapidly changing world), and imposes planning and management processes that make it impossible to keep up with the real needs of the world.
How much then is accreditation a measure of what is good? Maybe it is no more than just a measure of what is not bad.
I am forever optimistic; but cannot see how we can approach improved learning while we limit the scope of innovation.
Why do we need accreditation systems anyway? Is it because our teachers are so incompetent and unethical that they need bureaucrats to control them. Who then ensures the bureaucrats are competent and ethical though?

Comment from Stephen Eddy Principal of Health Schools Australia November 2007
“With regards to the article written by John Mason, I agree 100%. As an R.T.O. we are constantly bombarded with bureaucracy, which severely hampers our ability to adapt course work and be innovative. It also more importantly impedes our quality of material we teach the students. As Natural Medicine changes so rapidly, the burden of the bureaucracy stifles change, which is essential if we are to improve”.

Comment from Jerry Mintz at Alternative Education Revolution Network
“I do agree, John. We did try to get accreditation with IARC but the process got bogged down”

The scanning tunneling microscope is used extensively to discover the topography of tiny particles. The scanning tunneling microscope produces a three dimensional replication of the object under study by creating a beam of electrons that is scanned over the surface of the subject. The electrons bounce back and forth between the subject and the beam creating a three dimensional picture of the subject. It is important to note that a scanning tunneling microscope performs a similar function to a scanning electron microscope, but they are not the same thing. Heinrich Rohrer and Gerd Binnig invented the scanning tunneling microscope in 1981 at the IBM lab in Zurich, Switzerland. They won a Nobel Prize for Physics for their invention in 1986. The scanning tunneling microscope, also known as STM, allows scientists to view and move the individual atoms of a sample. Scanning tunneling microscopes are used in research and industrial settings to study the atomic level surfaces of different materials. The STM operates by creating an electron field a very short distance from the object being studied. The electron cloud is created with a very sharp needle tip, often small enough to have room for only a single atom. The needle tip then scans over the subject at a very close distance. The distance between the needle and the surface of the subject affects the interaction of the electrons, giving viewers an atomic level three-dimensional picture of the subject’s surface. The STM creates a type of topographic map of the subject’s surface, showing every atom-sized bump and crevice. The STM can manipulate individual atoms by creating chemical reactions. The STM can remove and add electrons to atoms, thus altering their chemical structure. Scanning tunneling microscopes are precise tools used by scientists and researchers to examine molecules that are invisible to the naked eye. Without the scanning tunneling microscope, it would be impossible to fully understand the workings of matter at the atomic level.Electron Microscopes provides detailed information on Microscopes, Electron Microscopes, Parts of a Microscope, Compound Microscopes and more.

There is a new way to travel around Europe, which has become fashionable, and that is by rail. After the European Train Network appeared, trains are growing in popularity as the preferred way of going from one interesting place to another. Trains as a means of transportation are better for those who want to see more places in just one trip. Travel to any distances – short, medium and long – can be carried out by trains across Europe. There is a wide railway network densely covering not only Western and Central Europe but the whole continent. More than twenty countries and hundreds of cities are included in the European Train Network, which allows tourists on a luxury world cruise to see the most of Europe. These trains are speedy, reliable, their schedule is very convenient with trains arriving and departing almost every half an hour. Those who go on a luxury vacation usually see trains as a substitute to airplanes. Carriages of trains are more spacious and comfortable inside and in this way make a traveler more relaxed. Trains in Europe will provide you with a splendid opportunity to explore new routes and to discover the beautiful countryside. You will also be free from the necessity to stand in the long line in security. Moreover, railway stations are generally situated approximately in the center of the city, while airports are usually a long way from the cities. Trains are even considered to have something of a romantic feel. Train tickets bought beforehand are also cheaper. Furthermore, if you miss one train, it is easier to take another one in about half an hour. Taking into account all the above mentioned reasons, it is not difficult to make a conclusion that train travel has turned into a leading way of traveling around Europe for those who go on a luxury vacation. Even if you ignore its romantic touch, you cannot but agree that it is practical and simple. New technologies have made the European Train Network extremely successful, because stops are possible in most European countries and its most prominent cities. Train trips win over air travel because of their availability, prices and comforts.
