Couples Who Wash Dishes Together
                      Stay Together

     




  Researchers have shown that those couples who perform the house hold duties together spend more successful and happily married life than those who stay in the ego of doing given responsibilities together. According to a research neither of the partners should perform the house hold tasks more than 60%, from cleaning to child care.
       Men usually are the bread earners and they feel upset when they work out side all day long and at home listen to the complaints of wives for not giving them quality time. Where as the women feel stressed doing house hold with in the boundary walls of the house. When the men are only bread winners and the women are house makers, the home becomes a house and the couple becomes pressurized.
        The house where the men takes care of children at home and the women do job, it becomes problematic too. Because the men feel uncomfortable staying all day at home and the women get depressed performing manly tasks all day.   
        In order to avoid such situations, it is better to keep a balance. If the men would give a helping hand at home and specially when it comes to dish wash, it will result in a relaxed and happy environment at home. By this the men will be able to give a good time at their home which ultimately means quality attention to their wives and the women would not have fear of ending up all on their own.

                            LEADERSHIP IN TEAM WORK

     Two heads are always better than one. And when it comes to a team or group then their are many heads working together. If a team has coordination and the people are like minded then the task assigned to them is performed with perfection. 

        How ever there are some people who do not like to get suppressed by others and they do not want to work under others but still love to work in team. This is usually the behavior of those people who are social but have dominating personalities. They do not have attitude problem. They like to interact with others, love to make friends but still don't want others to over come their position.
        This is situation where one has to remain self satisfied and keep others happy too. So for this the best way is to become the leader of your team, no matter what ever task is given to you. Becoming a leader doesn't mean that you have to declare your self as a leader. However, it means that you have to take big challenges over to your self and take up the main responsibilities. 
        It does sound as if its a big idea but, in actual it is not. Why? the answer is simple, you are a part of team. We know one thing that whether we are in possessional life or student life, one person is always a BOSS. He/ she may be as a teacher/ instructor or as a manager. You can not deny the existence of that boss as long as you want to stay as a part of the office or institute.

      So how to work in a team as a dominant member?

• LEARN TO COMMUNICATE:Keep relation with the boss (instructor or manager) in such a way that you may not find any difficulty in expressing and communicating your opinions in the decision. The sillier is the one who butters. Now a days, the people are well-educated and sensible enough to understand who is praising to get promotion and respects in the real way. Good relations are created when the performance of work is excellent. Keep in mind that these relations are not meant for seeking promotion, they are just to lead your own team comprising of the members equal to you.Boss has NO concern with it.For example, if your manager makes a team having five members and directs you how to do a task, and you have an easier and better option to do some thing, you may tell your manager that you can do it that way too.
• OMIT "I" ATTITUDE: Leadership dreams sink like ship if you have " I" attitude. This is because the people will get irritated by your bragging all the time and they'll be offended. Instead of accepting you as a leader, they'll start planning to change the  group member. It is a quality of a good leader that he uses the word WE, while showing progress in the task etc.
•   COOPERATE WITH MEMBERS: Cooperation and collaboration is a major condition in working as a team. If your attitude is such that you cooperate with those with whom you are close and not those with whom your mind doesn't match, then it simply means you'r not working as a team. When there is no team, there is no leadership.
• DON'T GET PERSONAL TO ANY ONE: Favoring some one on the ground that he/she has got BMW or that person always wear branded shoes and degrading some one because he puts yellow tie on indigo shirt or she attends parties in joggers, is the most most you can do unfair with your team. Never base your opinions on the personal basis when it comes to work.
• HELP EVERY ONE: If you will help your team members with all your heart and will listen  to them attentively, soon you will find your self encircled with the team people in spare time, they will start talking by keeping more eye contact with you rather than the others. And this is the point, where people will start liking your ideas and accepting your directions happily.
• BE THE FIRST ONE TO ACCEPT: If you are given any direction from the instructor or the manager, when every one is in state of dissonance whether to accept the responsibility, be the first one to accept it. After accepting, now the command is in your hand to decide how to divide the task. This is the key point to become a leader in a team. 

   When you accept the responsibilities willingly and firstly, it helps you not to work under any one else. When you will take responsibilities, your boss will surely consult you in making the draft of the plan. Secondly, you will become the one who will distribute the work load among others, so the others will come to you to take directions and guide lines. If you will cooperate with your members, and guide them sincerely, you will be the one to save your team from crushing into pieces or sinking like a ship and will prove your self to act as a leader in team work.

       HOW TO BE A STRONG DEBATER
     
 It is verily said that nothing is impossible in the world. We see politicians, journalists, analysts etc, speaking with great confidence to win the arguments against those who do not agree on what they talk about. Many students are inspired by such speakers and desire to debate on their institute level. 
      It is seen that different types of institutes organize declamation contests on inter and intra level, in order to enhance the speaking power of the students, build confidence level and to open the inter mingled knots of confusion on certain points in the young minds. Such opportunities help the students to percept various issues the way they want and to explore different views of the same point.
        There are many students who like to participate in such contests but because of anxiety and fear of forgetting the points they want to speak or becoming the fun in front of audience makes them not to express their thoughts. Here are few important steps following which may help the person in delivering his thoughts in a better way.

•  BE PATIENT: First most important thing to debate on a point is patience.As you must know that your opponent is not your friend. Though he is not your enemy, but still you must realize that he is a person who is speaking against your view points. You have to prepare your self to hear any argument from him, which you may not like. But losing temper in such situation is never sensible.
• BE PREPARED: Debating over an issue, showing your view points and convincing the people is not  a piece of cake. You have to be prepared by gathering information on the topic. The best way is that besides getting the knowledge about your view point, you should gain some information on what possible points could be spoken against you. When such points are collected the answers to them should also be designed carrying equal weight.
• MIRROR PRACTICE: In order to judge your self, e.g, gestures,facial expressions and speaking style etc, the mirror practices are essential for the speaker. The speaker must address in front mirror many times in order to pin point the weaknesses and to correct them.
• BE WATCHFUL OF TIME: Time duration matters a lot in declamation contests. He who manages to deliver the views in time limitation is successful speaker. Usually two bells are rung. The first one alarms the speaker that only one minute is left. When the first bell rings, the speaker must prepare him self to wind up the speech with in next 30to 40 seconds.One thing is commonly observed, that the speaker usually gets rattled when the first bell is rung and gets confused. To avoid this, keep a bell with you and while doing mirror practice, use the bell in between the rehearsals.
• CHOICE OF POSITION: Now that the practice phase is completed, the next is delivering phase. It is the time when you have to appear before a big crowd. The choice of position is very important in case when their are many opponents. If the opportunity is not given then you have to put maximum effort to leave a lasting impression on every one's mind. How ever if the option is given to you to choose the position of your turn , its well and good. It is preferred to appear either as an opener or the last debater. If you appear as first contestants, you must know that every one will be fresh at the beginning of the session and you will be supported by a big crowd. And if you decide to be a last speaker, then it will be advantageous as you will stay in the mind of the judges. But again only powerful debater can take maximum advantage of the position.
• CONTEST MANNERS: One must keep in mind that being at such contests needs to follow some etiquettes. Always sit on the seat alloted to you. If you are sitting in people, it does not matter much but way of sitting matters a lot when sitting area is on the stage. There are many people watching you including the chief guest and judges. So sit confidently and in up right position. Do not put one leg over the other. Do not look at left and right too much. And don't make extra movement of arms and hands. Sit relaxed and fresh.
• STANDING AT THE ROSTRUM: When your name is called, walk straight to the rostrum. And while taking steps towards it, prepare your self by saying that finally the time has come when you have to tell people what you know. After standing at a certain position, before speaking, adjust the mike according to your height and pitch of your sound.Make sure that the mike must be neither too close that your voice echoes nor too far that people may not hear your voice.
• BEGINNING THE DEBATE: Beginning the debate is an art. According to me, beginning should be unique. One thing must be kept in mind that keeping written material means your kicking your winning trophy in trash by your self. If you are competing for the position do not take paper with you. Now the question is how to make the beginning unique? This can be done by creating a scene. Once I had an opponent who came to the rostrum, PUNCHED it hard and said, " This rostrum will break today....", by this he gained attention of the whole  hall. Once I opened my topic by taking paper with me and TEARING it off into two pieces and saying these lines, " What is this? My text? with a duration of three to four minutes? Text can't bound me, I am free to speak what ever I want". Words or actions like this attract the listeners.
• WHAT IF ANY POINT IS FORGOTTEN: While addressing the audience , if you forget any point, DON'T STOP. It gives a bad impression on listeners if you get stuck over the point and start thinking. Just skip that particular line and shift towards the next paragraph or statement.
• ADDRESS THE VIEWS WITH COURTESY: To win the debate doesn't mean that you have to get rude to your opponent. Address your opponent politely and also address to the chief guest by using the words RESPECTABLE SIR/MADAM or HONORABLE CHIEF GUEST etc.
• CONCLUDING DEBATE: Finish your debate with the saying of some philosopher or writer and summarize the whole discussion as a conclusion. In the end don't forget to say THANK YOU.

    By following these few tips you can improve to be a good speaker,a strong debater and increase the possibility to win the contest. However one thing must be kept in mind, winning or losing the race does not matter much. What matters is that you expressed the way you percept the things, you told everyone that with what angle you see the world.
