Five Helpful Tips To Get Smart

This is what I have found today:


1. Read aloud
This apparently lights up the brain like switchboard. Just a minute a day will benefit your brain function.

2. Get word-savvy
Playing board games reduces your risk of dementia, in particular Scrabble. In fact building a vocabulary is one of the best things you can do for your brain. So every day look up a new word in the dictionary, say it out loud, and then try to use it in a sentence, either in your mind or in a conversation.

3. Eat and drink to stay sharp
Blueberries, turmeric, soy milk and avocados are all great brain food, along with purple grape juice as the polyphenals it contains slows down brain ageing.

4. Routine swap
You may hit the gym for aerobics, but you should also be exercising your brain daily. These are easy, and mostly involve changing your routine to engage your brain more deeply from day to day. Try brushing your teeth or using the computer mouse with the opposite hand to the one you usually use, or simply take a different route to work once a week.

5. Walk
Not only does it increase blood circulation, oxygen and glucose to the brain, but walking just 20 minutes a day can decrease your risk of memory loss and stroke and improve learning ability, concentration and abstract reasoning.

Communication station

Important part of the exam and candidate must pass (preferably)--is the communication station

Remember that you must show empathy and discuss the meeting with primary team


Suggested interview structure:

Introduction
Introduce yourself and staff members
Determine names and relationships of family members or surgeon
Explain why you are meeting (state the goal of the meeting)

Gather information
Ask what the family members know about the medical situation
Ask what they have been told by others
Ask what thy think about the future prospects
Ask about the patient's function, values, fears and wishes
Ask who feel they best represent the patient
Ensure all the important decision makers are present (or involved)

Give information
Explain the current medical situation
Explain the expected prognosis
Explain any planned interventions/investigations
Explain what you think the future progression will be
Take care to use clear, non-medical language
Avoid ambiguity wherever possible

Check understanding
Check that everyone understands what you have just told them

Agree a plan
Ensure you have clear outcomes from the meeting i.e. ou have 'negotioted to a conclusion'
Confirm everyone understands and agree with the plan

Plan for next meeting
If a clear and final outcome has not been agreed, it is important to plan for another meeting before the family leaves

What more do I have to say?

I think this song is beautiful and I want to post the lyrics here. Anyway, regardless of how my special one may look at me ----I still want to wish her a very very Happy Birthday.

Only ArRahman knows what are the tangible or non tangible contributions or interpretation of my commitments in our lives.

“One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.”

Yeah, you don't agree with this but

“Why do we have to listen to our hearts?" "Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you'll find your treasure.”

Please enjoy every single day that blessed by Him on us;

"You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle."

This song is one of my favourites, I am not disheartened if you disagree.....

"Both Sides Now"

Rows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air

And feather canyons ev'rywhere, I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on ev'ryone

So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow

It's cloud illusions I recall

I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel

As ev'ry fairy tale comes real, I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughing when you go

And if you care, don't let them know don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now

From give and take, and still somehow

It's love's illusions I recall

I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud, to say "I love you" right out loud

Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say I've changed

Well something's lost, but something's gained in living ev'ry day

I've looked at life from both sides now

From win and lose and still somehow

It's life's illusions I recall

I really don't know life at all

I've looked at life from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow

It's life's illusions I recall,

I really don't know life at all
