2.Fr abut a decade, I knew that I needed t imprve my handwriting, but I always put it ff. “My typing skills are gd, my cmmunicatin skills are gd, and all my ther abilities are adequate fr the jb I d and the life I live. Why wuld I need t imprve my handwriting in such a mdern wrld?” I thught.
I was srt f hit by the fact that my handwriting needed imprving quite suddenly in the frm f a nte frm my bss. Obviusly ne f the ntes I had psted n the ffice message bard had been misunderstd because f my handwriting. My bss demanded that I learn t write in a neat way, smething I culdn’t ignre any lnger.
I tried a lt f different methds t imprve my handwriting. Nwadays, there are mre resurces than befre. Yu dn’t even have t g t the stre and can buy handwriting training materials nline. I tried ut a lt f these, and my handwriting did imprve smewhat. Nw I make sure I frm every letter crrectly. This is incnvenient and time-cnsuming, but it is better than having my cmments misread.
Peple cme up t me and tell me hw nice my handwriting is. I have never thught f that, but this is exactly what has happened. It really is a pleasure, but it isn’t enugh. In the lng run, I actually have t g t a handwriting cach t imprve my handwriting. It seems like I have years and years f bad habits that I have t break, and this isn’t smething I culd handle n my wn. I need smene t teach me hw t write clearly frm the grund up.

3. If yu're like a lt f married guys, yu dn't need t be reminded abut men being frm Mars r wmen frm Venus. Chances are that yu're all t familiar with the feeling that yu and yur wife are frm different wrlds. When married peple start nticing their fundamental differences, it can lead t a breakdwn in cmmunicatin. The way t have a successful marriage is thrugh cmmunicatin, cmmn grund and understanding. Here are sme pinters t guide yu in the right directin.
Rather than ending up in an endless back and frth, frget abut the issue fr a minute. Instead, think abut hw yu feel she's acting tward yu and ask her if that's hw she feels abut yu. If yu think she's being unfair, ask her if she thinks yu're being unfair. Switching the fcus t that shared feeling can help yur wife see things frm yur pint f view.
It's imprtant t accept the fact that there's a tw-way street between yu and yur wife. If yu think she desn't make enugh f an effrt t see things frm yur pint f view, yu have t ask yurself if yu're making an effrt t see it her way.
Realize nbdy can wave a magic wand t make yu and yur wife cmpletely understand each ther all the time. Many cuples have an extremely clse friendship and d almst everything tgether befre they're married. Once yu've tied the knt, yu may begin t ntice that yu're nt as alike as yu nce thught.
It seems bvius, but sme guys get fled int thinking their wife will be as excited abut all f their interests and hbbies as they are. Dn't be surprised when yu find ut that she's nt just like "ne f the guys." Sner r later yu'll realize that she might be ging alng with sme f yur interests just t make yu happy.
Rather than feel ffended if yu find ut she's nt as int yur favrite hbby as yu thught, appreciate the effrt she put int making yu happy. Swallw yur pride and try t take part in sme f her hbbies, t, even if yu might be a little put ff at first. While yu're nt ging t be trying n makeup with her, yu culd try baking a recipe tgether.
If either f yu is always giving everything and getting nthing in return, there's ging t be bitterness. The best marriages are built n cmprmise. Yu knew yu were ging t have t give and take fr yur marriage t wrk; nw it's time t make it happen.
