So maintain eye- contact throughout your conversation but take breaks intermittently ( while laughing, nodding, and acknowledging the other person, looking at the sky/weather, looking off to the side briefly, as if remembering something, running your hands through your hair, etc) so that you don't intimidate the other person.

Future of Technology and its Users

PARADOX OF CONNECTION The transparent slide doors open as she walks out of the company’s building. An indecipherable expression remains on her pale face as the pink tech-lines glow against her flawless smooth skin. She has a petite and sophisticated body, an ideal figure. The pink electricity flows through her veins indicating her existence and entity. She is contemporary yet modest.The flying drones whizz above her, automated smart cars and bikes manoeuvre on the street ahead her as a few individuals bustle around her and her virtual assistant that floats beside her. She hadn’t joined this company due to a ‘want’, but due to a ‘need’. She had run away from her house when she was a small child, since back at her home planet, there was barely any technology and here, like many other planets, you could do whatever you wanted, the options were plentiful and the technology enabled you to do it. She’d grown a lot from the internet that was provided here, she could learn and do eve

OUR COMMON EARTH  The Earth is a majestic and alluring place. It is a really unique planet since it is the only planet with the existence of life, this is possible because it is located in the biosphere, which is a sphere or area located around the sun at a perfect distance from it. The sun is a source of life for all of living things. Earth is divided into biotic and abiotic components. Abiotic components consist of non-living things– air, sunlight, water and soil; they divide the Earth into three spheres or systems – lithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water) and atmosphere (air). Biotic components consist of living things – animals and plants, they make the forth sphere or system – biosphere. Abiotic and Biotic components are always interdependent on each other in some or the other way. Humans are a part of the biotic components, since we are living organisms and have evolved from the hominoid family of the great apes, hence we too are animals, more specifically moneys

Flow of life and it obstacles

NATURES JOURNEY OF SUCCESS The river flows through the jungle wide and limpid. The water is blue, darker in the shallows and lighter in the light, but so clear that you could see the smoothness of the pebbles at the bottom. The noise of birds’ chirping and water’s mummer is music to the ears. Pieces of glass drift down the river in contest with each other on who reaches the open bay first. Pieces of stones come and thwart them. Some shatter, some embed themselves on the larger stones, some deviate their path and some fall and bounce off the surface of the stones, chipping off the surfaces and polishing the edges. Soon the river forks into three divisions, one part undeviated the others going left and right. The right fragment is shrouded in a veil of thin white mist with  little light penetrating through it, as mystery and uncertainty looms around it. The left fragment is cloudless and the sun gleams brightly overhead, enabling one to distinctly contemplate everything with
