Pay more, and you get unexpected results.
•Give what you can.
You clean out your closets, right? Perfect. You don't need a half a million dollar check written out to your charity of choice to help someone. Maybe you have a few shirts you don't wear anymore or a few children's books you can bear to part with. The thing about giving a little is that when everyone gives a little, suddenly it turns into a lot. .
•
In a world where smart phones rule and it's not just possible, but normal, to have entire conversations without ever looking someone in the eye, it can be exciting and wonderful to lock eyes with someone grinning. Happiness is contagious, and it only takes a couple facial muscles to spread it.
•Use please and thank you.
Not to sound like your grandmother (go ahead and sit still!), but the smallest ways to show your thanks are these little words. They take zero effort to say, but the impact is huge. Aren't you thankful someone held the door for you when your hands were full? !
•
This is the best kind of multitasking! Whenever you get a little, give a little. There's a couple ways to finish: You can do it yourself (donating an older shirt when you pay for a new shirt, etc), or support companies that are passionate, good-hearted (really fun) do-gooders. Doesn't it get much better than that, does it?
•Get in touch. Then listen.
Maybe a grandparent is eating at the bit to hear about your adventures, or maybe an old friend had a really bad day, maybe your mom wishes you,d ring her up more often. . You're member that your iPhone can make calls, right? Get in touch with those people that are dying to hear from you (because someone indeed is). Then, ask: How are you doing? What's new? These questions have such few syllables, but their depth is endless.

Question: I have recently got a senior position within my company. One of my new tasks is to make monthly progress reports on my department in front of other senior officials. During my first meeting, I presented and then opened the floor to questions.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#} My first reaction was to answer defensively. Later, I realized that I shouldn't feel that way. But how can I keep cool and effectively answer questions in this type of settings?
