Life, in all of its fullness, is happening right now. While our thoughts are sometimes elsewhere, beautiful opportunities and moments are being passed over and lost to the flow of time. And though we cannot possibly fully experience each leaf that falls to the ground, sometimes we get so attached to reaching our goals that we don't pay attention to the wonder all around us. When we do that, we live in a world that exists only in our heads, while we miss life itself. There is so much to be enjoyed and appreciated that we need to remember to pay attention to the present moment, because it is the only space in which we can experience being alive.
We learn from our past, but dwelling on it keeps us from being fully present to life in the moment. We create our lives with our thoughts, but focusing so firmly on our imagined future keeps us from co-creating with the universe, so we might never allow ourselves to live our dreams as they manifest. It's possible to be so happy and comfortable in our inner worlds that we lose touch with the business of life. We may enjoy spending large portions of time in meditation, or focused on our thoughts.
Life must be attended to, and if we are wise, we can enjoy it at the same time. We can awaken ourselves to the moment we are living right now by taking a deep breath and simply looking around. In doing so, we refocus our attention to our location in the real world. Then we can learn to appreciate the process of working toward our goals as much as their attainment. Balancing ourselves between the present moment and eternity, we can experience and enjoy the full range of reality available to us as spiritual beings living on earth.
Voice Quality
A person's vocal quality conveys a message that is independent of the words spoken. Every sentence you speak is uttered with sounds that say as much or more than the words themselves. 
The best example is the word, "Oh." It has absolutely no meaning without the voice inflection accompanying it. 
Think about it. 
Depending on how you say it, "Oh" can convey surprise, understanding, cynicism, doubt, anticipation, disappointment, or fear. Being aware of the emotion behind your voice will allow you to communicate precisely what you intend to say. 
It is easy for doubt, fear, boredom, or fatigue to color what you are saying to others. If you are aware of your vocal quality, you can instead convey the enthusiasm, confidence and sincerity. 
Be aware of your voice and keep in mind the following points: 
A strong, full voice projects confidence. 
Speaking clearly and distinctly conveys intelligence. 
A higher pitch and volume and faster rate of speaking convey enthusiasm. 
Vocal changes can add emphasis by drawing attention to the important parts of your message. If you slow down and lower your volume when you say something important, your message will sink in. Avoiding monotonous speech by varying your vocal qualities will keep the listener interested and make you more interesting. Let your voice ebb and flow naturally. Be relaxed. Otherwise you will appear artificial and uncomfortable.
依甸,
呵呵,是在狮城安顿好得以上来了,还是适逢周末回老家休息?
每一季在看So You Think You Can Dance,
都有很深的感触以及很多的收获。
看着人家在大大的竞争圈子里,如何充实自己来提升自身的竞争能力。
这是一个现实的世界,
他们年纪轻轻就抓稳舵,义无反顾地划向他们的目标和理想。
失败了、跌倒了不要紧,爬起来再尝试。
什么时候,我们这个舒适的地方让人们都忘记了与生俱来的竞相生存能力?
马来西亚今年正办着第二届相同的比赛,两届相比,也让人有感触...
