The 27 Principles to Teaching Yourself Anything (aka The Self-Guided Education Manifesto + PDF download
“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.” —Mark Twain Note: This post is intentionally long.

Here’s how it looks when you chart it out: And here’s how to do it in your own presentations. Craft the Beginning Start by describing life as the audience knows it. After you set that baseline of what is, introduce your vision of what could be. What is: We fell short of our Q3 financial goals partly because we’re understaffed and everyone’s spread too thin.

Humans have short attention spans when it comes to passively sitting and listening to a speaker. 4. Get closer to your audience by moving away from or in front of the podium. 5.

Was soll man noch sagen. Da wird immer noch diskutiert, ob denn Griechenland ein Problem darstelle, und Japan und die USA (und gelegfentlich auch Großbritannien) sollten doch zuerst ihre eigenen Schulden betrachten. Dabei sollten doch diejenigen, die das behaupten, erst einmal die unterschiedlichen Strickmuster der jeweiligen Schuldenstrukturen untersuchen, bevor sie sich zu solchen Äußerungen hinreißen lassen.
