Jan Chipchase's investigation into the
ways we interact with technology has led him
from the villages of Uganda to the insides
of our pockets. Along the way, he's made
some unexpected discoveries: about the novel
ways illiterate people interface with their
cell phones, or the role the cell phone can
sometimes play in commerce, or the deep
emotional bonds we all seem to share with
our phones. And watch for his surefire trick
to keep you from misplacing your keys.
Anyone who has kids knows that any
life with kids is going to be
complicated, at least to some degree.
From extra laundry to bathing and
cooking and shopping and driving and
school and chores and crises and sports
and dance and toys and tantrums, there

miserable day, or negative colleagues.
Pessimism will drain both your
productivity and quality of life.
Developing the body language of
confidence can be really important when attending job
interviews, presenting, dealing with complaints and being
involved in related activities. One confident person differs
from another in their body language but these are some general
guidelines.

As you anticipate the new year, some of you will be seeking changes in your
health, life-style, and careers.
You probably know by now that most New Year's resolutions fail. The main reasons
they fail are that goals are unrealistically large and that resolvers have no
clear plan to reach their goals.
If you want to improve your conversation skills (and thus your relationships),
you can do so with a much greater chance of success by following a few simple
procedures. Choose small goals, then take small steps to reach them. Making
changes in this way helps you to avoid the kick-back effect you'd encounter if
you try to make massive changes in a short time. Your current habits have long
been anchored in place and resist change.
