knowing that their desires and needs are understood and valued. 3. By grasping human desires, we can build stronger connections with others. 4. Truly understanding people allows for meaningful and rewarding interactions. 5. The key to successful social interactions lies in comprehending others' aspirations. 6. By acknowledging people's desires, we can create harmonious relationships. 7. Recognizing human desires lays the foundation for positive and fulfilling connections. 8. Genuine understanding of people's desires fosters genuine connections. 9. Nurturing relationships starts with empathizing and grasping others' aspirations. 10. Unlocking the art of treating others well begins with understanding their desires.

The art of treating others well "Dealing with people" is an "art". This article helps us with ways to treat people in a way that pleases people. I: understand human desires 1. The first step in social relationships is to understand people. 2. What people care about is themselves, not you. This is the key to communication. II: skillful in conversation 1. When talking with others, choose the issue that they are most interested in: that is themselves. 2. You will find that people rave about them more than any other issue. 3. If you cleverly prompt them to talk about themselves, they will like you very much and you will become a welcomed conversationalist. 4. We cannot make others feel sympathy because we only think about ourselves and talk about ourselves. III: skillfully make others feel important "Everyone thinks they are important." Being aware of that and skillfully applying it is one of the important cornerstones of successful social relationships. To do so, you must: 1. Listen to them. Refusing to listen to others will make the person deeply feel that they themselves are not important. 2. Compliment them. 3. Regularly using their last name, first name and picture will make them like you a lot. 4. Use the words "He", "His", not "I", "mine". 5. Pay attention to each person in the group, don't just pay attention to the leader or speaker. IV: skillfully agree with others This is one of the intellectual crystallizations of our time. Includes 6 points: 1. When you agree with others, say it. Nod and say “I agree with you” or “you are right”. 2. When you don't agree, don't tell them unless you have to. 3. When you make a mistake, have the courage to admit it. 4. Avoid arguing with others, even if you are right. No one can win from debate, nor can anyone gain friends from debate. 5. Handle conflicts accurately. An aggressive person only thinks about one thing: fighting right away. A good way to deal with them is to refuse to fight with them. In short, the root cause of the art of agreement is because: 1.People like to be approved of. 2.People don't like being opposed. V: listen skillfully In life, nothing helps you more effectively than being a good listener: you will win more good feelings than being a good speaker. Five things are needed: 1. Look closely at the person talking. 2. Focus on listening to them. 3. Ask questions. 4. Never interrupt others. 5. Use the expression "He", "His". Summary: These 5 things will help you achieve great returns from listening. VI: the art of influencing 1. The first thing is to find out what they like or what they are pursuing. And then tell others what they like to hear. This is the great secret to influencing others because we have hit the target. Please apply this principle in real life. 2. The method to clearly understand what other people want is: ask a lot for opinions, observe a lot, listen a lot, plus your own tireless efforts. VII: art of persuasion 1. The best method is not to present it directly but to let someone else speak for you, even if that person is not present next to you. For example: My neighbor has used this car for four years now and it still runs well. 2. This is indeed a strange phenomenon: people are less likely to doubt the authenticity of what you indirectly present. If you say it directly, they will doubt you and not trust you. Therefore, it is necessary to speak through a third person. VIII: the art of letting others make decisions Four methods to help you succeed in communication: 1. Tell people that if they do what you say, they will benefit, not you. 2. Ask questions that can only be answered “yes”. 3. Make others choose one of the two words "okay". That means whatever you choose will say "okay" to you. 4. Show people the importance of things. IX: first smile. 1. The first moment in communication is always decisive. So, before speaking or breaking the silence, give a friendly smile. The next reaction is that people will also smile back at you. 2. People often forget this: the more you spend, the more you will get back. If you give others sunshine, you will receive sunshine back. If you give others rain and storms, you will also receive storms back. 3. Your intonation and facial expressions are also very important, because they reveal your inner thoughts. So, smile. X: the art of praise Man does not live by bread alone. Do you remember the feeling when you receive a compliment that makes you excited day and night? Therefore, you should say compliments to others, the more people will like you, and at the same time, you will benefit immensely. But please pay attention to the following: 1. Praise must be sincere. 2. Praise behavior, not people 3. Praise needs to be specific, it needs to be aimed at the target. 4. Get into the habit of praising three people every day. XI: the art of giving thanks If you appreciate someone and they know it, they will repay you more next time. If you don't express it, chances are you won't have a chance 1.Attitude needs to be sincere. 2. Express clearly and naturally. 3. Look straight at the subject. 4. Say the name of the object. 5. Look for opportunities to express appreciation. The above principles seem simple, but there is no more effective communication technique XII: the art of making a good impression When we first meet others, the impression we leave on them is largely determined by our own behavior. Need to : 1. Sincerity: words go hand in hand with actions. 2. Enthusiasm. 3. No need to be too impatient. 4. Don't put others down but elevate yourself. 5. Don't criticize anyone or anything. XIII: art of speech 1. Understand clearly what you are saying. 2. Look straight at the audience, 3. Talk about issues that interest them.

@DNewton49131 random bus ride, count how many people are looking at their phones.

How are smartphones destroying people's lifestyle? What do you think when experts say: Smartphones make an entire generation just... bow their heads? Everyone is glued to the screen? Smartphones really have a strong attraction to users. Let's do a little test of this: On a nice day, go on a date to meet your friends and as soon as the conversation starts, try to measure the amount of time that passes before someone among them Please take out your phone to see. And don't forget to calculate how long you can keep your smartphone without touching it? The results of this survey will be the most accurate answer about the impact of smartphones on your life and those around you. Judith Martin, a famous writer for the Washington Post, said: "That only happened to me when dinner was over. I don't think anyone would dare do that in front of me." Not everyone has the same power as 40-year-old Miss Manners. But no matter who you are, you will encounter many difficulties if you want to force someone to give up their cell phone. Have you even noticed that your friend or lover spends more time on their smartphone than on you? Glued to the phone - a social and physiological problem The average human head weighs between 4.54 kg and 5.44 kg. When we bend our necks to text or check Facebook, the gravitational force on our head and the pressure on our neck increases by up to 27.2 kg. This posture - which is almost common in all of us, from ordinary people to high-ranking officials - will lead to the cervical spine gradually losing its inherent curve. According to a report published last year in The Spine Journal, "Text Neck" (a new term created a few years ago, refers to the symptom of neck pain caused by the user constantly lowering their head to look down at the phone screen). is becoming a disease that countless people suffer from, and the way we bow our heads also greatly affects our health. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, human posture has been shown to affect mood, behavior and memory. Therefore, slouching often can make our mood depressed. The way we stand affects everything about our bodies, from the amount of energy our bodies need to grow bones and muscles to the amount of oxygen our lungs can absorb. And the remedy is extremely simple: Just sit up straight. Social psychologists claim that even just standing in a confident posture, with your head and shoulders back, can increase testosterone and cortisol flow in the brain. But why don't we pay attention to these signs? Or are we actually "rejecting" awareness? Signs of blindness According to the Pew Research Center (USA), about 75% of Americans believe that using a smartphone does not affect their ability to pay attention when in a group of people, and about a third of Americans believe that using a smartphone does not affect their ability to pay attention when in a group of people. Using the phone in a group setting will actually contribute to their conversation. What about in reality? Ritual experts and social scientists affirm: The above statement is completely wrong. According to experts, the behavior of "always being on our phones" contributes to us removing ourselves from our reality. And in addition to the health consequences, if we keep our heads down, our communication skills and manners also decline. However, ironically, most of us do not realize that we are also in this situation. Victims of all ages A study conducted in 2010 showed that teenagers from 8 to 18 years old spent more than 7.5 hours a day using technology devices. Since then, the "addiction" has continued to grow stronger: According to the Pew Research Center, in 2015, 24% of teens "almost constantly" used the Internet. Adults are no less competitive: According to a Nielsen Report last year, most adults spend 10 hours a day or more using electronic devices. The National Safety Council says cell phone use makes drivers more accident-prone than drunk driving, leading to 1.6 million crashes annually, mostly in people between the ages of 18 and 20. 1/4 of accidents in the United States are caused by vehicle owners texting and talking on the phone while driving. Empathy levels have plummeted while complacency is skyrocketing, University of Michigan researchers say. Emotional development, confidence and health are all affected when we are hunching our necks and letting our heads dangle. Facebook's former president, Sean Parker, recently announced that Facebook's platform is designed to be addictive and "consume as much of users' time and attention as possible". "Literally, it's lChange your relationship with society and between yourself. In some ways, it can hinder our productivity. Only God knows what it will do to our children's brains." So, you're probably reading this story right now on a mobile device. It's okay (As long as you're not driving). We present all the arguments and evidence above not to ask you to immediately throw away your iPhone and give up digital media. Because like many other addictions, all require gradual treatment. And this gradual cure does not mean being against technology. Make an effort to interact with people The simplest answer for all of us is: Engage with others — and try to do it without clutching your phone. The next time you're standing in line or stopped at a red light, look around: How many people are actually there with you? Young or old, we are all a cultural generation. Customs, manners, body language, the way we react, interact and even look at each other are gradually changing. We spend our entire lives bowing our heads 90 degrees on our smartphones. It's time to start practicing "lifting your face".

@CFansol Wow, the Philippines never ceases to amaze with its fascinating traditions!

This mysterious embalming custom is unique in the Philippines Since 2000 BC, the Ibaloi people of the Philippines have practiced a very different burial culture. Hundreds of years old Kabayan mummies are the result of long periods of smoking both inside and outside the body, which only applies to tribal leaders. Embalming the dead was a common practice in ancient times. Found in a cave in the town of Kabayan in the Benguet province of the Philippines, the Kabayan smoked mummies are remains preserved through a lengthy dehydration process. They provide researchers with an understanding of the unique mummification process and the tribal people who applied it, according to Ancient Origins. They let people who are about to "near the earth and far away from heaven" drink extremely salty salt water, causing the body to become seriously dehydrated and soon become dry. When this person died, they smoked and burned the body, creating a mummy that would last for thousands of years. Ibaloi are an indigenous people of the island nation of the Philippines, mainly residing in the Northern region. They are concentrated in the cities of Kabayan, Bokod, Sablan, Tublay, La Trinidad, Tuba and Itogon; has a total population of over 110,000 people. The Ibaloi people rely on agriculture. They work on terraced fields, cultivate rice and familiar food crops of Southeast Asia such as sweet potatoes, taro... Ibaloi beliefs worship gods and spirits. They practice animal sacrifice rituals, make offerings, and offer rice wine. According to Ibaloi mythology, in the past, humanity committed many crimes. They made the gods angry, creating a great flood to wipe out all humans. When this flood swept over Mt. Pulog (mythical place), only one couple survived. They are the common ancestors of the Ibaloi people. The social life of the Ibaloi people is very complex, with a division between rich and poor classes. Rich households are called baknang, living in a large family style, including 4-5 couples and children in a private residence. Poor households are called abiteg, living as a single family with just a couple and children. According to researchers in the Philippines, since around 2000 BC, the Ibaloi people have practiced a special burial ritual reserved for the rich: Embalming. People call it Ibaloi mummy, Benguet mummy, Kabayan mummy or fire mummy. Most embalming customs in the world are only carried out after the subject being embalmed has passed away. Particularly for the Ibaloi people, preparations begin right from the moment the person dies. Only tribal leaders were embalmed through smoking. They were given extremely salty salt water to drink. The salt concentration is so high that it causes the internal organs to be washed clean, and the body to fall into a state of serious dehydration. After a few weeks to a few months, their bodies become withered. Today, Kabayan mummies still lie in the cave where they were discovered. Although the cave is located in a remote area, theft and vandalism have become a major concern, causing the cave cluster to be classified as one of the 100 most endangered places in the world, and considered for UNESCO status. UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Kabayan mummy that has existed for hundreds of years is still at risk of being destroyed and disappearing. By protecting Kabayan Cave and keeping the location of the mummies secret, local authorities can keep them safe for future generations.

@cuddie_mallia Wow, such an innovative way to manage traffic without traffic lights!

In the world, which country does not have traffic lights? This is the only country in the world without traffic lights, even in the capital. Instead, the police will play the role of coordinating the flow of vehicles. In addition, this is also the only country with negative CO2 emissions. Question 1. Which country doesn't have traffic lights? A. Bhutan B. Brazil C. Bahamas D. Bulgaria 2. This country has the highest average terrain in the world? A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4 3. Why does this country have negative CO2 emissions? A. Because people limit air travel B. Because most of the land area is covered with forests C. Due to the high position, the air is thin D. Due to the use of seaweed to absorb CO2 4. Which animal does this country's national flag depict? A. Lizard B. Dragon C. Salamander D. Lion 5. In this country, what are people exempted from? A. Income tax exemption B. Free education C. Free medical care D. Free education and healthcare Answer Question 1: Answer A - Bhutan. Bhutan is a landlocked country in Asia, bordering China and India. This country does not have a traffic light system. Previously, Thimphu, the capital and largest city of Bhutan, used to be the only place in the country with 24-hour traffic lights. Immediately afterwards, due to people's disagreement, the lights were removed and the traffic police assumed their role again. They play the role of coordinating the movement of vehicles on the road with white-gloved hands. Question 2: Answer A - 1. Bhutan has the highest average terrain in the world, about 3,280m above sea level. In the north of this country are the high peaks of the Himalayas, of which Gangkhar Puensum is the highest peak at more than 7,570m. The south includes many hills, plateaus, and valleys and is home to the majority of Bhutanese people. However, Thimphu is not the highest capital. The capital of Bolivia is the highest capital in the world. Question 3: Answer B - Because most of the land area is covered with forests. Bhutan is the first and only country with negative CO2 emissions in the world. The reason is because 72% of this country's area is covered with forests. The Constitution of Bhutan also stipulates that at least 60% of the total land area must be covered with forests at all times. The entire country produces 2.2 million tons of CO2 each year, but forests absorb three times this amount. It can be said that Bhutan is a "carbon sink with more than 4 million tons of CO2 per year". Question 4: Answer B - Dragon. The Bhutanese flag is divided into two colors yellow and orange by a diagonal line. In the middle of the two parts is a white dragon symbol. The white dragon on the national flag also symbolizes purity and loyalty. The gems represent prosperity, security and protection of the people in Bhutan. Bhutan is known as the "land of the Thunder Dragon". Question 5: Answer D - Free education and healthcare. Even though Bhutan's GDP is low, the Bhutanese government still maintains a free healthcare system not only for Bhutanese people but also for those residing in the country. Regarding education, students here receive free tuition and meals, in addition to being given books, clothes and school supplies.

@AlexiisCarol Wow, what an incredible twist of fate that led to delicious desserts in Japan!

History of famous Japanese desserts Legend has it that a group of Portuguese monks were sailing to Macao when their ship ran into bad weather and they landed in Nagasaki, Japan instead. That chance encounter changed Japan and its cuisine forever. In the 16th century, Kyushu Island, in Nagasaki Province (Japan) was the only city where foreigners could trade with the Japanese. This is also the land that produces many famous Western-style sweets Kyushu - city of sweetness A famous dessert from the island is castella sponge cake, a Portuguese-inspired pastry. Although the pound cake style originated in Portugal, one ingredient that makes the dish uniquely Japanese is mizuame syrup, made from sticky rice. The store called Fukusaya is where you can buy the best castella sponge cake in Japan. This is a famous cake shop chain, opening its first location in Nagasaki in 1624. The castella cakes here are cut into square pieces, individually wrapped in colorful packaging and then placed in gift boxes. According to a Fukusaya employee, although there are occasional special flavors such as sakura (cherry blossom) in the spring or chocolate at Christmas, the classic castella cake is still the best seller. Castella sponge cake (kasutera in Japanese) also appears in another famous Japanese pastry, Doremon's favorite cake: dorayaki. This can be considered a thinner castella and is made into a pancake with a layer of sweet red bean filling inside. Among the famous Japanese desserts, the indispensable wagashi cake, which also originates from Kyushu, is indispensable. Culinary interference between Japan and Europe Another European sweet dish adapted by the Japanese is the macaron, also known to the Japanese as makaron, which is made with peanut flour instead of almond flour and often carries traditional Japanese flavors such as green tea or beans. red. “I think Japanese people really like European pastries, especially French ones,” says Michele Abbatemarco, pastry chef at Est restaurant at the Four Seasons Tokyo in Otemachi. Over the past 50 years, pastries have made great strides in Japan. And then there are quite a few bakeries in Europe and around the world that are inspired by Japanese products," he added. A royal legacy One of the most popular and recognizable Japanese sweets is konpeito. These small, pale sugar cubes look like crystallized stars or flowers. The name is said to come from the Portuguese word for a type of sugar candy called confeito, brought to Japan by sugar merchants. However, it's not just their size that makes the candies "cuter" because in the 16th century, sugar was so expensive that even a small treat was extremely valuable. According to ancient Japanese tradition, Imperial guests such as heads of state and other royal family members receive silver candy boxes called bonbonnieres (French for “boxes”). candy”) as welcome gifts when they attend important events such as weddings or “festivals” of the King and Queen of Japan. The candy box was made of silver by Tokyo-based jeweler Miyamoto Shoko and decorated with a chrysanthemum, the symbol of the royal family, on top. Inside the candy box, lucky guests will find sparkling konpeito sugar cubes.
