Yesterday, when I started posting about Coronavirus by WEF, I was too curious to know what would be the measures and advice by WHO. I started thinking a bit broad. There are a few more articles on the WHO websites. I had chosen this article that would be beneficial to each and everybody.

So, I’m gonna paste the source link down below. We need to be extremely aware of it. I sincerely encourage you all to visit other articles by WHO.

Basic protective measures against the new coronavirus:

Stay aware of the latest information on the COVID-19 outbreak, available on the WHO website and through your national and local public health authority. COVID-19 is still affecting mostly people in China with some outbreaks in other countries. Most people who become infected experience mild illness and recover, but it can be more severe for others. Take care of your health and protect others by doing the following:

Wash your hands frequently

Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.

Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.

Maintain social distancing

Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.

Why? When someone coughs or sneezes they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing has the disease.

Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth

Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick.

Practice respiratory hygiene

Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately.

Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.

If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early

Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance. Follow the directions of your local health authority.

Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent spread of viruses and other infections.

Stay informed and follow advice given by your healthcare provider

Stay informed on the latest developments about COVID-19. Follow advice given by your healthcare provider, your national and local public health authority or your employer on how to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.

Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on whether COVID-19 is spreading in your area. They are best placed to advise on what people in your area should be doing to protect themselves.

 

Protection measures for persons who are in or have recently visited (past 14 days) areas where COVID-19 is spreading

• Follow the guidance outlined above.

• Stay at home if you begin to feel unwell, even with mild symptoms such as headache and slight runny nose, until you recover. Why? Avoiding contact with others and visits to medical facilities will allow these facilities to operate more effectively and help protect you and others from possible COVID-19 and other viruses.

• If you develop fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical advice promptly as this may be due to a respiratory infection or other serious condition. Call in advance and tell your provider of any recent travel or contact with travelers. Why? Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also help to prevent possible spread of COVID-19 and other viruses.

Thank you, ladies and gentleman.

It has been more than a year, I’m blogging. I must say this is the tiny momentum for me. A special experience with my followers and readers. Before sharing this valuable experience. I was a bit ashamed yesterday, I just lay on my bed and watching videos and I thought, I will start writing after an hour and hours passed. Finally, I slept and in the morning I felt terrible for my bloody laziness. Not 100% lazy but procrastination ruining me.

OMG,

Coming back to the anniversary, I received this happy anniversary with wordpress.com even a week before. I was in pressure, surroundings affected me a lot. The reason I postponed to post this content is, I cannot sit and write quietly over the past two months. I don’t find time to sit quietly before writing. I won’t write on that particular day. Because, I don’t think, please correct me, if I’m wrong. I don’t think, the content starts and ends bit well. Writing everyday matters, but, what I understood so far over a year. We should learn to sit quietly and think. Finally, start writing. Because my commute was too terrible and my sleep factors affecting me than ever before. Sleep deprivation. Even at this moment, I’m not justifying at all. I’m not writing simply. But, this is a true and valid reason. Even far more, at this moment, I’m writing in the midnight. The time is 12:48 AM.

I don’t wanna jump deeper into what’s going on aroung me?

Hereafter,

I started and learning to balance the stuff.

It wasn’t easy for me. I wasn’t fit at all. But, I started learning to manage the time and prioritize the tasks that would be fair and far enough for me.

From my first day of blogging until right now. It’s been a quite challenging for me. My English/writing skills was not bad. But, I still have to brush up and polish.

I got 80 followers, feeling a bit great. Few mentors. I was honestly and professionally engaged in this blogging network.

I decided to be a life-long writer. Quietly, no matter what.

I have the purpose, if I’m writing right now, I would love to pay gratitude to the WordPress and my respected followers and readers. I have something to convey, something valuable. I’m not gonna inject. But, I’m gonna convey in a professional manner with the good English with good grammar too.

Things were quite often worse. But my intuition says to do and my not bad English and grammar says, you need to do massive ground work.

Still, miles to go.

Thank you, ladies and gentleman.

I love you all.

 

With deep respect.

 

 

 

If the word sounds research for me. I feel more curious and interesting than others. I feel like feed me more. So far from my research definition, even if you made a deep research over a certain period of time. You might not get full satisfaction. Our curious brain search feel hungry.

Sometimes or quite before I write/started searching about personalities or information. I won’t settle with what I had seen. I look bit forward. I just keep on making bookmark on the particular information.

Here in the University of Michigan-Flint. I got, how to select a research a topic?

I should say those eight are very informative. It will give a fair amount of knowledge. Additionally, it also says narrow and broader practical exercises to extend your learning.

If you jump into a bit deeper on every point by point. That will be spectacular.

I would like to paste the source link down below. I sincerely encourage you all to visit further.

Selecting a Topic

The ability to develop a good research topic is an important skill. An instructor may assign you a specific topic, but most often instructors require you to select your own topic of interest. When deciding on a topic, there are a few things that you will need to do:

Step 1: Brainstorm for ideas

Step 2: Read General Background Information

Step 3: Focus on Your Topic

Step 4: Make a List of Useful Keywords

Step 5: Be Flexible.

Step 6: Define Your Topic as a Focused Research Question

Step 7: Research and Read More About Your Topic

Step 8: Formulate a Thesis Statement

Practical Exercises to Extend Your Learning

Identify three narrower aspects of the following broad topics. In other words, what are three areas you could investigate that fit into these very broad topics?

Sports

Pollution

Politics

Identify a broader topic that would cover the following narrow topics. In other words, how could you expand these topics to find more information?

Menus in Michigan prisons

Urban planning in Flint

In the early days of my blogging. I have the habit of searching more about how to be a writer and how to write with better grammar. When I kept on searching, I got Writing bad.org. Even the content makes me more curious. I wasn’t looking for a secret or recipe at all. I just need to know the reality of a writer. And pain and pleasure of being as a writer.

When I started writing, I was totally exaggerated. Right now bit well.

Let’s come to points straight-away.

I’m gonna paste the source link down below. I sincerely encourage everyone to visit further.

All writers have experienced the first draft blues. The idea for the story came to us in a flurry of inspiration; the characters sauntered through our door, greeting us with their riveting personalities. Yet, as we sat down to write the story, the sentences stumbled and clanked together in an oafish web of prose. Too many writers have sat and stared at these first drafts thinking themselves too unskilled to give justice to their stories and characters. Yet, with only six simple steps writers everywhere can begin writing with style today.

1. Write primarily with nouns and verbs.
2. Write in the positive form.
3. Show, Don’t Tell.
4. Use the Active Voice.  
5. Manage the Flow.
6. Avoid Redundancy.

LinkedIn is one of the most professional and most valuable networks too. I think I was in LinkedIn over the last 4 or 5 years. Over the last two years, I was quite engaged in LinkedIn. Precisely, I was connected with different sets of people across the globe. No matter who they are/where they come from.

Even more, I bit deeper about the learning through LinkedIn. I will sign-up and I will see the possibilities of learning. Quite honestly and even sadly, I can’t afford to pay. Just, what I do, whatever the information I see, I made a bookmark. Sounds crazy. It just helps me when I see my stacks of bookmarks. So, one of the valuable information what I got, creating a culture of learning in 6 steps. I would love to share.

I will attach the source link down below. Unfortunately, I could not deliver everything, what I would like to give here is a glimpse of this content. I sincerely encourage everyone to visit further.

What is a culture of learning?

Whether you know it or not, your organization has a learning culture. If you employ humans, learning happens in your workplace every day. We’re biologically wired to learn. We can’t stop ourselves.

Learning is necessary for survival. It’s a natural instinct. We constantly absorb information, determine what’s important, and decide how to act.

Learning experiences happen all around us. Are you directing them? Or are you allowing them to happen on their own?

This guide explores six steps you can use to successfully create a transformative culture of learning at your organization.

Creating a culture of learning in 6 steps:

STEP 1: Honor the ever-present nature of learning.

STEP 2: Value learning as a path to mastery.

STEP 3: Make learning easily accessible

STEP 4: Use Blended Learning to Maximize Options.

STEP 5: Teach managers how to coach.

STEP 6: Evaluate performance based on learning.

Conclusion:

Your organization as a whole, as well as every person in it, has unrealized ability. The most effective way to cultivate that potential is through building a transformative culture of learning. You can help your organization achieve new heights and develop employees who achieve great things.

This is something catchy post. I got it. Sorry, I’m not quite sure where I got it.  But I took all the three a bit seriously.  Feeling like something new this post conveying about. I sincerely encourage everyone to visit the link a bit further. .

Here it is,

Where does mental toughness come from? I’ll let Mr. Rollins start me off here with a quote I love about the Iron Mind…

“People have become separated from their bodies. They are no longer whole. I see them move from their offices to their cars and on to their suburban homes. They stress out constantly, they lose sleep, they eat badly. And they behave badly. Their egos run wild; they become motivated by that which will eventually give them a massive stroke. They need the Iron Mind.”

Henry Rollins

What is Mental Toughness?

Wikipedia says:

Mental toughness is a measure of individual resilience and confidence that may predict success in sport, education and the workplace.

Mental toughness is “Having the natural or developed psychological edge that enables you to: generally, cope better than your opponents with the many demands (competition, training, lifestyle) that sport places on a performer; specifically, be more consistent and better than your opponents in remaining determined, focused, confident, and in control under pressure.” (1)

Some key words stand out in these definitions:

• Resilience
• Confidence
• DeHabit #3 Monitor and Adjust Your Self-Talktermined
• Focused
• Psychological Edge

Habit #1 Test Your Metal

The only way to get the iron mind is to push yourself physically beyond what you were previously capable of. Growth is hard and painful. The mind resists and begs you to stop. This is your chance to prove to yourself that you can overcome pain and difficulty.

Habit #2 Choose How You Interpret Stress

Mentally tough people do not just react to stress. They choose how they interpret stress and how they will choose to deal with it. They realize that the stress itself has no real power. All of the power lies within us to make a choice on how we’re going to deal with external stressors.

Habit #3 Monitor and Adjust Your Self-Talk

“our findings suggest that self-talk strategies can make
a valuable contribution to skill acquisition, learning, and task
performance enhancement” (2)

How to Improve Self Talk for Improved Mental Toughness

According to an article in Psychology Today, there are 4 steps you can take:

1. Notice what you’re already telling yourself. Pay attention to it.
2. Ignore unhelpful self-talk
3. Pick a “power phrase.” Something that makes you feel motivated
4. Pick a phrase or reminder word to help you stay focused.

Our mind can be our greatest enemy or our most valuable asset. Monitoring and adjusting your self talk can be a huge step in increasing mental toughness.

Habit #4 Visualize

Taking just a few minutes each day to visualize can make a big impact on how we react and perform. Studies have shown that the mind doesn’t really know the difference As Tony Robbins says.. “In life, we get what we are, not what we want.” You have to BE, not want. If something is important enough that you dream of it, then you have to be willing to forego temporary satisfaction in the name of achieving, and becoming something much greater.

between strong visualizations and actual activity.

Athletes use visualization all the time. Research has shown that visualizing shooting and making free throws can actually improve shooting.

Habit #5 Be Disciplined. Delay Gratification

“The moment the alarm goes off is the first test; it sets the tone for the rest of the day. when the alarm goes off, do you get up out of bed, or do you lie there in comfort and fall back to sleep? If you have the discipline to get out of bed, you win – you pass the test.”

Jocko Willink

A hallmark trait of someone with mental toughness is the ability to forego what they want right now, in exchange for something greater later on.

Habit #6 Control Your Emotions

Mentally tough people remain in control. They tell themselves that nothing is going to stop them, and they mean it. When something is making you feel like you’re going to lose control of your emotions, use your self talk and focus on who you are. Like i said before, it will become a habit just like anything else repeated over and over.

Conclusion

YOU are in control. This is your life, your mind. You get to choose who you are and what you’re going to accomplish. Being mentally tough is a choice. If you want it, you’ve got a great start with this article. The only question is.. what will you do now?
