The Keys To An Irresistible Appearance
Author: fiona
Now that you’ve learned how to control your attitudes and mannerisms, ask yourself whether your appearance is creating a favorable impression or not.
You’ve worked to acquire the bearing of a monarch, a charming voice and a bewitching gaze. Perfect! But now’s not the time to sit back and stop. There are two more elements which also play a fundamental role in forming not only the image you have of yourself, but the one you present to other people as well.
These two elements are your body itself, and its material envelope - in other words the clothes you wear.
“Why,” you ask, “should I be concerned with those aspects if it’s true that physical beauty doesn’t have much to do with charisma?”
Good question! Let’s look at this line of reasoning.

Are you ready to make the home-buying commitment?
There are lots of pros and cons revolving around buying a home versus renting one. The old advice that home buying always pays off is no longer automatic in all parts of the country and for some people.
Rent or Buy?
You should rent:
- If you don’t want the bother of home maintenance and repair
- If rental rates in your area are low (compared to home prices)
- If you plan on moving around a lot because of job or other commitments
You should buy:
- If you want to take advantage of (recently very high) equity appreciation
- If you want the interest and tax write-off from a home
- If you want added security and privacy
How To Improve Your Voice
Author: fiona
Your voice is just as powerful a weapon as your gaze. It can charm and soothe, or irritate and repel. Ideally, your voice should be calm, without putting other people to sleep!
Many of us are afflicted with voices which society, inexplicably deems unpleasant. We are referring especially to shrill, high-pitched voices.
If you’re one of those people, you surely regret having a shrill voice, and do your best to lower it.
Stop! Unless you use your voice at its proper pitch, you’ll damage your vocal chords. Accept the voice you were born with. It’s yours, it matches your personality, just like the color of your eyes automatically matches your skin color.
