article: Criticism is easier to take when you assume that the people who are offering it to you are just trying to help you and make your work better.  If you assume that people are using their criticism to try to cut you down or make you feel bad, you will emit negative emotions and responses, which is not helpful to them or you. Try to focus on the elements of the criticism that you can learn from and improve on. Don't worry about the way the person said it or other details that aren't important. Learning and mastering an art or trade is a lifetime process. There is always something everyone can do to make their work even better, so try to embrace criticism. It’s part of the path to success. You may be correct in your result but wrong in the way you got there. Different people prefer different ways of doing things and there is usually more than one way to accomplish a task. Be open to alternative ways of achievement. It’s the best way to learn! This might seem counter-intuitive – especially if you hate criticism – but by asking for it, you are putting yourself in an empowerment position. Instead of people coming to you to tell you what’s wrong, you can go to them first and ask, even if everyone seems happy with your work.  Consider asking questions like, “How can I make this project even better?” “What can I do better next time?” “Is there anything I can do to improve my performance?” Asking for criticism helps you improve at a faster rate, which means you may be promoted, given a raise, or given more responsibility at a faster rate, too.

article: For a smart casual outfit, you must balance flairs of professionalism and fashion. Consider wearing bottoms that are comfortable but sharp looking; they need to be able to pull through a professional yet casual look. For example, a nice pair of slacks, darker-colored conservative skirts, and even a dark wash pair of jeans can all be appropriate bottoms for a smart casual outfit. Most times, your bottoms can act as a base from which you create your ensemble outfit.  Your bottoms can absolutely incorporate a pop of color. You could wear something like a brown or dark green skirt, navy blue slacks, or a dark, indigo wash pair of jeans. If you decide to wear a skirt, it must be a business appropriate length (at least to the top of your knees). However, keep in mind that if your bottoms include color and are more fashionable, you should try to balance your outfit with a milder, yet chic top. Since smart casual is all about balancing, your top must equalize your outfit. If your bottoms are dressier, your top can be more casual (ruffles, color, accents, prints, etc.). If your bottoms are more casual, dress up your outfit by sporting a sleeker, more professional top.  A professional top would be a button-down shirt, a dressy blouse, or a collared top.  Again, your top can incorporate color, it just has to stabilize out your outfit. If your bottoms are a muted color, opt for a colored shirt. If your bottoms are the outfit piece adding color, wear a more neutral top. Wearing a dress is a safe choice if you are trying to dress smart casual. A dress immediately elevates the “dressiness” of your outfit, but the print or material of the dress can add a needed casual element. No matter what kind of dress you choose to wear, the hem of the dress should reach at least the top of your knees. If you have a professional looking dress (conservative length, darker color), you can dress it down by pairing it with casual accessories like a colored scarf or simple, yet stylish jewelry.  Vice versa, if you have a more casual dress, you can spruce up the look by pairing it with stylish and conservative heels and simple, clean cut jewelry. When wearing a dress for a smart casual outfit, choose to keep it simple. When in doubt, you rather your outfit come off as more dressy than casual. A blazer is a great outfit piece that can add a professional tone to your outfit, but still keep it casual when paired with a softer top. If you’re considering wearing a blazer, make sure it has a fitted cut. This tailored piece can make your outfit look a bit more put together, while your other clothing items channel the more casual side of your ensemble. A plain black or navy blue blazer can incorporate a more professional feel, while a colored blazer can add in a pop of color as an accent piece. For a smart casual outfit, consider finishing your ensemble with a comfortable pair of dress shoes. Heels work great, and close-toed pumps are always a safe choice to complete your look. Flats can also be an option if you want to go for a more casual look.  You can make your outfit stand out while maintaining a casual look by having your flats be a main fashion statement. They can be colored or patterned, but it must balance out your outfit of mainly neutral, composed pieces. Wedges and some opened toed shoes can also work for a smart casual outfit if you are attending a more casual event. However, if you are dressing for work, stay away from these options.  Avoid wearing sandals with a smart casual outfit; sandals are plain casual.

Push down on your lever until you hear a click. Lift the rest of the pins in the door lock. Turn the tension lever counterclockwise to open the door."

Take the shorter, bent end of the tension lever and stick it into the bottom hole in your door lock. The tension lever will hang down the front of your doorknob. You’ll use the lever to maintain tension on the lock as you pick it and as a way to rotate the doorknob once you've picked the lock. Maintaining tension on the lever will rotate the barrel in the lock which will allow you to lift each individual pin. Push the lever until you feel some tension. You do not need to use a lot of force.  Keep tension on the lock as you pick it. This tension is necessary or the pins will just drop back down into the barrel, keeping the knob locked. Stick the slightly bent end of the pick into the lock so that the tip is facing upwards. The pins sit on the top portion inside of the keyhole. Feel for the pins with your pick by pushing down on the handle of the pick while it’s in the hole. Press down on the handle of the pick to push the pins up.  Most traditional doorknobs will have 5 or 6 pins. A key pushes the pins up in the exact position they need to line up with the barrel, thus unlocking the door. Some of the pins will slide up with ease as you push down on it with your pick, while others will have some resistance. Pins that have resistance are known as seized pins. Concentrate on the pins with a lot of resistance first. Locate a pin that’s hard to push up, and push down slowly on the handle of your pick until you hear a click.  The click is the sound of the pin setting on the barrel. You need to set the seized pins first before setting the other pins in place. Continue feeling for the pins with your pick and press down on the handle of the pick to lift up every pin. Once every pin is set on top of the barrel, the door will be unlocked. Grab the end of the tension lever and turn it like a key until the door is unlocked. Your door is now unlocked!  On most doors, you have to turn the tension lever counterclockwise to open the door but some doorknobs may differ. The tension lever will only rotate fully if the pins are correctly set on the barrel of the lock.
