Duplicated PeopleBy John TaylorOver the next 20 to 50 years, it will become harder to tell the difference between the human and the machine. All body parts will be replaceable. A computer will function like the human brain with the ability to recognize feelings and respond with emotions. They can then make fake people. We will then be able to create a machine duplicate of ourselves so we will appear to be alive long after we are dead. Maybe a few decades later, a way will be found to transfer our spirit to the new body. Then we can choose to live for as long as we want.Once one of you is duplicated, you will just have to press control "D" and you will have two of you, unless you have placed yourself on a clipboard, then press control "V". If you want 500, select 500.Naturally, when duplicates are running around all over the place, there will be a food problem. Changes will have to be made with how you eat. Your duplicates will have to combine vitamins with something we have in abundance.The most practical choice would be garbage. Your modified duplicate will be made to eat garbage like a goat. But don't worry, your taste buds and sense ofsmell will be changed so you will really enjoy it. You will want to eat lots of garbage.When it becomes possible to do a spirit transfer, they will figure out how to do them very easily. So you will be able to live within whichever duplicate you want, whenever you want and as long as you want.Just imagine what it would be like when you are with so many duplicates of yourself. You will be very busy enjoying many things. One duplicate of yourself is in the middle of doing a jigsaw puzzle and another duplicate has almost completed another puzzle. When you become tired of the joy of puzzles, “you”jump to the duplicate that is eating garbage, then to the one that is playing in a rock concert, then to the one that is scoring the winning goal. When it is predicted that things will be better in the future, it doesn't necessarily mean that things will be easier!。

EQ to IQ: Why Smart People FailResearch indicates that, for jobs of every type, Emotional Intelligence (or Emotional Quotient) is twice as important as IQ and technical skills combined. Moreover, EI accounts for 85% of what separates star performers from average ones.Daniel Goleman, author of the best-seller, Working with Emotional Intelligence, describes EI as "recognizing and managing our own feelings and those of others--the fundamentals upon which are built such important organizational competencies as outstanding leadership, customer service, and teamwork. "The good news," Goleman states, "is that Emotional Intelligence can be learned."Based on Goleman's book, this seminar explores how you can boost productivity, lead more effectively, and enjoy more satisfying relationahips through Emotional Competence. During the seminar, you'll complete an EQ map - an extensively researched and tested self-assessment.The map, along with other EQ activities, will enable you to:∙Gain a better understanding of yourself∙Plot your individual path to success∙See how you score on 20EQ scales and their inherent competencies∙Create a snapshot of your current EQ strengths and vulnerabilities∙Cluster your current EQ strengths and vulnerabilities。

How to Make A Strong First Impression:Seven Tips That Really Workby Bill Lampton, Ph.D.We have all heard this warning: "You never get a second chance to make a good first impression." Also, psychologists, writers, and seminar leaders caution that we only have from seven to seventeen seconds of interacting with strangers before they form an opinion of us.With this widely acknowledged pressure to "make our case" instantly, here are my seven tips for making your first impression strongly positive.The greatest way to make a positive first impression is to demonstrate immediately that the other person, not you, is the center of action and conversation. Illustrate that the spotlight is on you only, and you'll miss opportunities for friendships, jobs, love relationships, networking, and sales. Show that you are other-centered, and first-time acquaintances will be eager to see you again.Recently I attended a conference. At lunch, my wife and I sat with several people we didn't know. While most of our tablemates made good impressions, one man emerged as the person we'd be sure to avoid all weekend. He talked about himself, nonstop. Only rarely did anyone else get a chance to speak. Unfortunately, he probably thought he was captivating us with his life story.I applaud this definition of a bore: "Somebody who talks about himself so much that you don't get to talk about yourself."Closely related: You'll make a superb initial impression when you demonstrate good listening skills. Give positive verbal cues: "Hmmm... interesting!" "Tell me more, please." "What did you do next?" Just as actors benefit from prompts, your conversational partner will welcome your assistance in keeping the exchange going.Nonverbally, you show you're a skilled listener by maintaining steady eye contact. Remember how you respond to the social gadabout who appears to be looking over your shoulder for the next person he wants to corner. Remember, and avoid that habit.Use the name of a new acquaintance frequently. "Judy, I like that suggestion." "Your vacation must have been exciting, Fred." You show that you have paid attention from the start, catching the name during the introduction. Equally as important, you'll make conversations more personal by including the listener's name several times.Be careful with humor. Although a quip or two might serve as an icebreaker, stay away from sarcastic remarks that could backfire. Because you don't know a stranger's sensitivities, prolonged joking might establish barriers you can't overcome, either now or later.Follow Dr. Wayne Dyer's advice, offered in his wonderful book "Real Magic," by "giving up the need to be right." Confrontations with somebody you've just met will destroy rapport before you even start building it. Wait until you have established credibility before you challenge another's statements.Appearance counts. Several years ago, a professional colleague offered to meet me for lunch. I decided against wearing a suit, opting for a sport coat and tie. When he showed up in shorts and sandals, the message he conveyed was: "Bill, meeting you is a rather ordinary experience, and doesn't call for me to present a business-like appearance." Not surprisingly, that was the last time I met with him.True, standards for appropriate attire have changed drastically. Maybe the best advice I can share came from a participant in a seminar I conducted. She said, "I don't dress for the job I have now, I dress for the job I want to have."As a communication specialist, I have to point out that an individual's speaking style impacts the first impression, maybe more than we wish. Listeners judge our。

Holland's Theory of Career ChoiceThe Career Key is based on John Holland's theory of vocational choice. At its simplest, this theory proposes that "Birds of the same feather flock together." In other words, people like to be around others who have similar personalities. In choosing a career, it means that people choose jobs where they can be around other people who are like them.It is the best known and most widely researched theory on this topic. It is used by many career counselors. Understanding it will help you make sense of your Career Key scores and how they are related to career choice.Holland's theory can be summarized in six statements:1.In our culture, most person are one of six personality types: Realistic,Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional.2.People of the same personality tend to "flock together." For example, Artisticpeople are attracted to making friends and working with Artistic people.3.People of the same personality type working together in a job create a workenvironment that fits their type. For example, when Artistic persons aretogether on a job, they create a work environment that rewards creativethinking and behavior -- an Artistic environment.4.There are six basic types of work environments: Realistic, Investigative,Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional.5.People who choose to work in an environment similar to their personality typeare more likely to be successful and satisfied:For example, Artistic persons are more likely to be successful and satisfied ifthey choose a job that has an Artistic environment, like choosing to be a dance teacher in a dancing school -- an environment "dominated" by Artistic typepeople where creative abilities and expression are highly valued.6.6.How you act and feel at work depends to a large extent on your workplaceenvironment. If you are working with people who have a personality type likeyours, you will be able to do many of the things they can do, and you will feelmost comfortable with them. How is this related to the scores you receive onthe Career Key?7.It means that you probably should choose an occupation whose type is thesame as, or similar to, your personality type. For example, imagine that yourhighest score on the Career Key is for the Realistic type. Looking at the tablebelow, you can see that the most compatible job environment is Realistic. This would suggest that you choose from the jobs that are in the Realistic group. Or, you might choose from the jobs that fall in the Investigative or Conventionalcategory.Compatible Work EnvironmentsYour Personality Type Most Compatible CompatibleRealistic Realistic Investigative & Conventional Investigative Investigative Realistic & ArtisticArtistic Artistic Investigative & SocialSocial Social Artistic & Enterprising Enterprising Enterprising Social & Conventional Conventional Conventional Enterprising & Realistic。

COMPARISONSEQ gets you through life vs. IQ gets you through schoolAppealing to reason and emotions to convince someone vs. Trying to convince someone by facts aloneUsing your emotions as well as your cognitive abilities to function more effectively vs. Relying solely on your cognitive skillsEXAMPLESamuel had a high IQ. He could reason, was analytical and logical, and had a steel-trap focus on tasks. He learned new things quickly. However, he ignored how he was feeling and how others were feeling. If things didn't do the way he expected them to, he would lose his temper and lash out at others. He was unable to relate to people who weren't as smart as he was and lacked empathy. This limited his ability to be effective in team situations even though his IQ was very high.Jose had a high EQ. He got along well with people, and managed his own emotions well. This made him highly effective in his work, even though there were others in the firm with higher IQs.
