INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The easiest way to meet people, even briefly, is to start a conversation. Research shows that communication, even when required, actually makes us happier and have a more positive outlook on people generally.  Be assertive. Assertiveness is about talking about your thoughts and feelings in appropriate and respectful ways. Be honest. Be transparent with people about who you are. People can sense honesty, and it encourages them to trust you in return. Additionally, beginning a relationship with lies means those lies have to be maintained thence forth, and increases the risk of the lie being exposed, compromising the relationship.  Ask open-ended questions. Get people to talk about themselves. Not only does this enable sharing, trust and intimacy, but it helps you guide the conversation toward topics that are comfortable for you. Listening is the first step to building a strong rapport with others. It shows that we value who they are as well as what is being said.  Some keys to good listening are:  Maintain eye contact: This doesn't mean staring, but it does mean focusing your attention on the companion as opposed to your phone or a person across the room. Maintain appropriate body language: Your body language can help reinforce confidence in your companion. Don't fidget or check your watch.  Nod when the other person makes a relevant point. Don't interrupt: Let the other person finish before asking “May I ask/add something?” You can, however, show that you are listening by nodding and making affirming noises, like "Uh-huh," or saying something like, "I see." Keep an open-mind: Don't let fear or bias guide your communication.  Demonstrate that you respect the other person, in spite of points on which you do not agree. Think carefully about what your non-verbal cues say to others. Non-verbal communication reinforces and accents what we are thinking and feeling. In order to appear confident in non-verbal communication, try to speak at a normal rate (not too fast or too slow), make frequent eye-contact (but don't stare, look away sometimes), avoid shaking your legs or fidgeting, and try to keep an open presentation (e.g. no arm crossing). Conflict, even between like-minded people, is inevitable, and when we are frustrated, it can be easy to say things and act in ways that reflect that frustration and not our values.  In order to resolve conflict constructively:  Avoid aggressive body language (such as pointing in someone's face, standing too close, rolling your eyes, etc.) or language. Ask questions and present views fairly. Refuse to name call or resort to character attacks. Always remind the other person that you respect his views and the right to have them.

SUMMARY: Engage in verbal communication. Listen. Display non-verbal communication. Resolve conflicts in healthy ways.

You can clear, overwrite or add to the print area from the same dropdown menu. The menu is in the top left corner of your screen and brings up “Print Settings”. In the dropdown menu under the printer device, make sure “Print Active Sheet(s)” is selected and that the “Ignore Print Area” checkbox is NOT selected.

Bare windows can make your room seem dull. Hanging curtains in a fun print or bright color can make a huge impact on the look of your room! Let them puddle on the floor for a luxurious look or choose a shorter style for a more modern take.  Choose curtains in colors that complement your existing paint and decor. For instance, pick a color in your favorite photo or piece of artwork and choose curtains in that color. If you’re not a big fan of curtains, opt for blinds instead. They’re available in lots of different materials and colors, so you’re sure to find a style you like. If your walls are mostly blank, an easy way to give them a makeover is to hang up artwork. Pick pieces that you love so you’ll enjoy looking at them for years to come.  You can opt for a large statement piece or even create a gallery wall with smaller framed pieces. Head to thrift stores to find cool artwork and frames for cheap. Monochromatic flooring can look drab. Whether you have carpet, vinyl, laminate, or wood flooring, you can easily break it up by adding a large rug in the center of your space or even a small rug under your desk or chair. If you don’t have a lot of prints in your room, go for a patterned rug. If you do have a lot of patterns, stick with a solid-colored rug. A bench not only makes the room feel finished, it’s functional, too. It can be used for seating or you can display a nice throw pillow and a few decorative pillows. If you need more storage space, use a bench that opens so you can put clothes, blankets, or other items inside when you’re not using them. If you have artwork or knickknacks that you love, put them to good use by displaying them on your dresser. Aim to create visual balance by grouping items in threes and varying the height of the pieces. For instance, you could put a tall vase full of flowers in the center of your dresser and frame it with candles and photos. Add a few small collectibles, like statues or figurines, and voila! If you like a romantic, whimsy feel, install a chandelier in the middle of your ceiling. The soft glow and sparkle will make your room feel lush and elegant. If you’re not into the idea of adding a chandelier, install some pendant lights or add a few lamps. You can buy new lampshades cheaply to transform your old light fixtures. Nothing breathes new life into a room like some greenery. Pick out a few potted plants or flowers and space them around your room. The possibilities are endless, so head to a garden store and find a few plants that you think are beautiful.  Be sure to keep your room’s light conditions in mind when choosing plants to ensure they’ll thrive in your space. Don’t forget to water them, either! For a minimalist look, opt for succulents. If you like something a little different, choose cacti.
