How to Have a Great Conversation With Anyone

Image
The art of conversation takes practice, and is not as hard as you might think. It will take some knowledge, practice, and patience, and you can learn to relax and enjoy a great conversation. With these tips you will be well on your way to having a good, meaningful and entertaining conversation with anyone! Make a good first impression.  Smile, ask questions that require more than a yes/no answer, and really listen. Maintain eye contact and keep as friendly and polite as possible. Listen.  This is the most important part of any conversation. You might think a conversation is all about talking, but it will not go anywhere if the listener is too busy thinking of something to say next. Pay attention to what is being said.

The Quality of Mercy

We are approaching Ramadan, and this is a good time to pause and reflect on what this year's month of fasting will mean to us. We know that Ramadan is made up of three sections, the first 10 days when we seek Allah's mercy, the second period in which we double our efforts at repentance in order to gain forgiveness, and finally, the last 10 days when we seek Allah's permission to enter Jannah(Paradise), Insha'Allah. Let us focus on the first 10 days, and explore the quality of mercy. Two of the names by which Allah is known are Ar-Rahmaan and Ar- Raheem . These are the attributes of Allah, and an oft repeated phrase in the Holy Quran.  Allah is the most merciful, both in this Dunya (world) and the Hereafter. He bestows mercy on all of creation, and is the giver of mercy to each of His creations. Mercy as a quality is inherent in all of us; when Allah created mercy he divided it into 100 parts. He placed one part of it inside each of His creations, and...

What is a dream? A dream is a series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring in voluntarily in the mind during the different stages of sleep.

People usually commit suicide due to some emotional or mental disorder. When something is gravely wrong in person's life and he/she is not finding any way out of it, commits suicide. It's a complete devastation for number of people close to him/her. It's just like someone has forcefully made you to have a bitter drink of pain, anger, guilt and regret.
