...Steps to Moving to a new country Mayar Lampkin Everest University Ever wonder what it is like to move to a new country? Well wonder no more I will tell you. Moving to a new country can be fun and exciting adventure but it takes a lot of work and planning. Before you go and experience the new culture make sure you do research on the country. Another is to make sure you have the right paper work and documentation. The last step is to make sure you pack up essentials. It sounds like a lot and hard work but in the end it is all worth it. Doing research about the country you will live in is very important because you will be informed about the cultures and customs of the country. Also researching what cities are safe to live in and what cities are dangerous is good way of keeping yourself safe and out of trouble. Make sure to research living situations is it mostly apartment/condo living or is it houses? Knowing that information is good for when you are packing because you will know how much space you will have. A good way of research is finding a group on a social media website and asking them questions about the country and living situations. This step will be the most important step out of all three. Having the right paperwork and documentation is very important or you can get in serious trouble and or road blocks along the way. Making sure you know what you need is important.

...Factors such as globalization that leads to new technology, free flow of capital, increased competition, demand for innovation, changes in customer demand, changes in economic, and political structures are constantly reshaping the way business is carried out (Buckley and Carter, 2000; Thorne and Smith, 2001). Previous research has acknowledged the fact that organizations have begun to realize that sustainable advantage relies on managing intangible resources such as the knowledge embedded assets. According to Stewart (2002), in the 21st century, knowledge embedded assets have become more important to the organizations than financial and physical assets. Therefore, in order to compete in this millennium, organizations must have the ability to create value, be agile and sensitive to the market. Knowledge embedded assets like ideas, practices, talents, skills, know-how, know-what, relationships and innovations, that arise from the creation of IC, have become a pre-eminent economic resource and the basis for competitive advantage (Stewart, 2002; Finney, Campbell and Powell, 2004; Demediuk, 2002; Graves, 2002). According to Sveiby (1997), knowledge embedded assets can be found in three areas: the competencies of the employees; organization’s internal structure such as patents, models, computer and administrative systems; and organization’s external structure such as brands, reputations, relationship with customers and suppliers. Stewart (2002), on the other hand, suggests that knowledge...

...Based on my results of the “Willingness to Listen Measure” activity, I am a slightly moderate listener. My score was a sixty two.” Most people are generally inefficient listeners; they tend to forget rather quickly what has been said” (Sole, 2011 chpt. 7.3). I think this is true in my case because I consider myself an inefficient listener. For me to be an efficient listener, it would totally depend on the topic of the conversation. I hear what is being said but I am not listening to the actual words of the conversation. How do you think your willingness to listen score could impact your interpersonal relationships? It can impact my interpersonal relationships, by not getting a clear understanding of what is being said. I need to try to make sure that I understand what they are truly saying and meaning. I also need to be able to pay attention so that I will be able to interpret the message. “Several important reasons related to interpersonal communication are to satisfy your social and esteem needs, to obtain and to give affection, or simply for pleasure and to relax from other types of communication”(Sole,2011 chpt.7.7).Improving my listening skill is very important in building your interpersonal relationships. Do you think that this measure was accurate for you? I do believe that this measure is accurate for me. Sometime I have a hard time focusing on a subject that I am not really interested. I often times focus on other things around me. “ To listen and attend to...

...My Strengths and Weaknesses in Learning English In all levels of education, the quality of every learner’s grasp and understanding always varies since each student obtains knowledge from their educators in different ways. Additionally, it also reflects that students will have dissimilar strengths and weaknesses which can actually be seen through their study while they are all together learning in the same class. From what I have remarkably noticed since the start of learning English, I constantly find myself having many strengths and weaknesses listed below. To begin with, grammar is my goodness in learning English. I can analyze and catch up the grammatical structures, tenses, and usages sharply and clearly whenever teachers or lecturers have explained them to me. Also, I rarely make any mistakes in grammar exercises since I am quite careful and thoughtful when building sentences or choosing the right answers. Moreover, good time-management is my another best virtue in studying English. I can separate between my study time and pleasure time distinguishably. Furthermore, I usually sort out a study-calendar, which enables me to submit every homework and assignment to teachers or lecturers on time. To sum up, grammar and good time-planning are my strengths in learning English. Besides, listening is my feebleness in studying English. I am not able to understand the whole conversation well once the native speakers speak very fast. Also, I never get good scores in listening test since...

This will avoid users from accessing programs which are on other domains.

...1. Based on the descriptions in the text, where do you see yourself on the Kolb Inventory of Learning Styles? I see myself as concrete experience, and as active experimentation. I see myself as “Concrete Experience” because I am and have always been open to other people’s feelings and experiences. I love listening to others, and being able to empathize with them. I see myself as “Active Experimentation” because I have always really been quick on my feet and ready for any situation that is going to be thrown at me. I am a good decision maker, and problem solver, normally. I love testing myself. 2. After reading about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, determine which personality is most like you, such as ENTJ. The personality that is most like me would be ESFP: E – Extravert because I am outgoing, and talkative. I always say what is going through my mind without thinking. I am an incredible communicator. I am quick to act, and I love being a leader. I do talk too much, and too loudly. S – Sensing because I am interested in the facts. I am practical, and down-to-earth. I would like to say that I am not always very patient though. I am always in a routine; I am not a fan of spontaneity. F – Feeling because I am empathetic, sympathetic, and interested in others being happy as well as myself. I love when everyone gets along, and it’s a happy environment. I must say that I do hate arguing, but I can be an assertive arguer if need be. Sometimes, I have a few of the “Thinking”...

...The first thing you will have to realize is that most people don’t like their jobs. It’s just the reality. The best thing to do is to hire the right people for the right job. It’s not about hiring the most capable person for the job though, at least not always. It’s about hiring the person who will love the job. People will tend to be more motivated to do their work when they love what they do, or at the very least don’t hate what they do. Since it’s hard to gauge whether someone will love their job during an interview since everyone puts on their best face, most of the time you will have to take a different approach. The first thing you will want to do to increase employee motivation is to find out if it’s an environment thing or just an individual thing. If it’s an environment thing then you can do different things to make the workplace a bit more fun. If you don’t think people can have fun and be productive at the same time, you may want to take a look at Google. If it’s an individual thing then you will need to find out what motivates them and use that knowledge to get them to be more enthusiastic about work. Different people are motivated differently. For some people, all you need to do is pay them more money. For others, money won’t do a thing, but recognition will. Still for others, it’s all about feeling appreciated for what they do. The lack of motivation can be a combination of many different things. It could be both the environment, people having the wrong jobs...

...Too Old To Learn? HR 590 October 1, 2012 This article possess what many are going through on a daily bases. When companies are trying to transfer from paper pushing processes to a more computer software based company it’s harder on those who are not so computer savvy. Usually the people who seem to struggle the most are the middle age and older employees who haven’t grown up in an era where computers served a major purpose, whereas younger employees have had a lot of exposure and knowledge of technology and how it works. The case of Ed and Roger is a classic case of what is displayed in many companies. It’s the story of the younger employee having to teach the older employee how to use the computer and all of its many processes. This can have many situations result from it. The older employee could feel threatened by the younger employee (who have been there a fraction of the time that the older). Also the older employee could be opposed to change feeling that there isn’t any reason for the change. The younger employee could simply get irritated with the older employee and refuse to continue to help. I believe this is what happened in this case study. C.J. thought he was doing a great service and money by creating a mentoring program where the younger employees helped the older employees. This many work for some but not for all. I think that C.J. should have created a continuous training for the employees who have trouble with computers to get them on the same level...

...1. Love in Education, an essay. Love in Education Love is a powerful emotion, it drives us to become better then who we are, to learn, understand, and become knowledgeable, to make proud the person you love, or for who loves you. Socrates was famous for loving his students, and used this to drive them forward and inspired them to become the best they can be. Socrates said "the love I bore... [allowed me to] draw honey and milk in places where others cannot even draw water from wells." Here Socrates display's how powerful love is, that allowed him to see the goodness, and beauty in students that others would only see a common, ordinary man. Patrick Carmack says in his essay 'Clas sical Vs. Modern Education.', "Indeed, education did not mean for Socrates the cultivation of the intellect alone - to the neglect of all else - but since man is attracted to the good first by what is beautiful, education must first begin with the sense, proceed on to the memory, imagination, intuition, and intellect, spurred on to all by love.'(Pg. 2) Carmack says here that education should first begin in a number of steps to fully drag out the beauty and goodness of man, and to win the students attention so he will take to heart learning subjects, and doing his best. All too often students are told "Do your best!", or "Try your hardest!" But why should they? There's no inspiration, no motivation for them to "do their best", no need to try and liberate and expand their minds. Their own parents sent...
