41.Five Ways to Win Over Everyone in the Office Is it possible to like everyone in your office? Think about how tough it is to get together 15 people, much less 50, who all get along perfectly. But unlike in friendships, you need coworkers. You work with them every day, and whether they’re your boss, direct report or equal, you depend on them just as they depend on you. Here are some ways, based on psychological research and advice from career experts, that you can get the whole office on your side. 41._____________. If you have a bone to pick with someone in your workplace, you may try to stay tight-lipped around them. But you won’t be helping either one of you. A Harvard Business School study found that observers consistently rated those who were upfront about themselves more highly, while those who hid lost trustworthiness. The lesson is not that you should make your personal life an open book, but rather, when given the option to offer up details about yourself or studiously stash them away, you should just be honest. 42._____________. Just as important as being honest about yourself is being receptive to others. We often feel the need to tell others how we feel, whether it’s a concern about a project, a stray thought, or a compliment. Those are all valid, but you need to take time to hear out your coworkers, too. “Rushing to get your own ideas out there can cause colleagues to feel you don’t value their opinions,” Rita Friedman, a career coach, told Forbes. Do your best to engage coworkers in a genuine, back-and-forth conversation, rather than prioritizing your own thoughts. 43.______________. It’s common to have a “cubicle mate” or special confidant in a work setting. But in addition to those trusted coworkers, you should expand your horizons and find out about all the people around you. Use your lunch and coffee breaks to meet up with colleagues you don’t always see. Find out about their lives and interests beyond the job. It requires minimal effort and goes a long way. “This will help to grow your internal network, in addition to being a nice break in the work day,” Ryan Kahn, a career coach and author of Hired! The Guide for the Recent Grad, told Forbes. 44._______________. Positive feedback is important for anyone to hear. And you don’t have to be someone’s boss to tell them they did an exceptional job on a particular project, or offer thanks for help. This will help engender good will in others. But don’t overdo it or be fake about it. Studies have found that lavishing people with a torrent of praise doesn’t work nearly as well as providing a mix of positive and negative feedback. One study in particular found that people responded best to comments that shifted from negative to positive, possibly because it suggested they had won somebody over. 45._______________. This one may be a bit more difficult to pull off, but it can go a long way to achieving results. Remember in dealing with any coworker what they appreciate from an interaction. Watch out for how they verbalize with others. Some people like small talk in a meeting before digging into important matters, while others are more straightforward. Jokes that work on one person won’t necessarily land with another. Tailor your style accordingly to type. “Consider the person that you’re dealing with before each interaction and what will get you to your desired outcome,” Kahn said.

46.It’s almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure. But, the wonderful thing about failure is that it’s entirely up to us to decide how to look at it. We can choose to see failure as “the end of the world”. Or, we can look at failure as the incredible learning experience that it often is. Every time we fail at something, we can choose to look for the same lesson we’re meant to learn. These lessons very important; they’re how we grow, and how we keep from making that same mistake again. Failures stop us only if we let them. Failure can also teach us things about ourselves that we would never have learned otherwise. For instance, failure can help you discover how strong a person you are. Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends, or help you find unexpected motivation to succeed.

1. As agreed upon by scientists and representatives from around 60 countries last year, the world's measuring systems are shifting away from using physical standards. Among the most 1 of these is the international prototype kilogram 2 as Le Grand K, a small metal cylinder protected underneath Paris 3 has defined weights and measurements 4 1889. The change is meant to 5 the risk of relying on physical items. "Unlike a physical object, a fundamental 6 doesn't change," says Stephan Schlamminger, a physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, in a  7 statement. "Now a kilogram will have the same 8 whether you are on Earth, on Mars, or in the Andromeda galaxy." Kilogram is the standard unit of measurement used around the world, 9 a few countries like England and the US. Initially created and named in the 1790s, the kilogram was part of 10 was then known as the metric system, a concept developed during the French Revolution by a group of scientists hoping to 11 the myriad chaotic measuring systems across the country. The researchers' efforts eventually spread across the 12 , and in 1875, 17 nations created the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, commonly known by its French 13 , BIPM. Today, BIPM has expanded to 59 countries across the world. Even in a contentious political climate, 14 from countries including Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel, China, the US, Russia, Brazil, South Korea and others come together every four years to 15 the state of what is now known as the International System of Units, or SI. The kilogram wasn't the only unit 16 on May 20. Four out of the seven base units within the SI will be changed in total, 17 the ampre, the kelvin, and the mole. Ampres are used to 18 electrical currents. Kelvin measures temperature. Moles, 19 , are used to measure the number of molecules. The changes made to these three will most likely be 20 by all but scientists requiring the most precise measurements achievable.
