Ways to become an inspiration for others

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. - John Quincy Adams

Post by Nixon University.

Leave your ego behind
If you really want to become influential, let your actions speak for themselves. It’s a timeless saying that still holds true today, but if you are doing great at something you don’t need to tell, you efforts always show and inspire others.

Think Big, Think Better!
Thinking big is not only about being inspirational to more people it’s also about the image and impact you have on others.  Don’t settle on making slight changes in a person’s life if they need a total makeover.  Instead, aim to change the whole thing.  Look to encourage in many areas instead of just one.

Be Expressive
Passion is impressive you must have and be willing to express it if you really want to motivate others.  You can gain a lot of influence just by public-ally expressing that you are thrilled and passionate about a topic.  You make it much harder to motivate others if you are boring an unenthusiastic

Stay Positive
The method of inspiring others comes without any negativity.  To get past this, you must stay positive, work past failures, and present optimism openly to others no matter what the conditions are.

Nixon University Live the Future wants to spread the message of education and humanity this campaign is an initiative towards a better and brighter tomorrow. 

Edmodo- the Next Thing in Education

Imagine having a classroom or learning place that is like Facebook. All your class mates and teachers are connected to you and you no longer have to worry about how to stay in touch with them. You submit your assignments online there and get to know about the grades assigned on them in the same way. Sound too good to be true? Welcome to the online classroom at Nixon University which is now designed using the education app Edmodo.        

Edmodo is like Facebook for education. A dynamic app that makes the most of education technology, Edmodo provides both teachers and students with a platform to connect effortlessly and create an environment online that is characterized by learning and personal development. Edmodo is not just an application; it is an entire experience that transforms the online classroom into an interactive learning space for both students and teachers.

Through the connectivity provided by Edmodo, students of Nixon University can no study together without any barriers. Edmodo allows students from all classes and schools to interact with each other, sharing information and resources. Students can also keep track of their progress in the course as the teachers send individual reviews to the student. This way, past and present performance can be tracked and compared easily. In addition, other Google education apps can also be used in combination with Edmodo to further enhance the online education experience. 

Edmodo makes the most of social media and education and connects students of one discipline through a solution that is easy to use and access. Because education is not restricted to a particular place or people, both teachers and students can share information about a wealth of topics that will increase knowledge base of all concerned. After all, education is not limited to a particular field or industry; a solid data bank of information is always handy.     

          

Personal Management – A Key to Success

It is not only important to understand the significance of personal management or at least this article is not ideally meant for the purpose. The aim of this article is to help you figure out how small and easy steps can help you with better personal management that will consequently lead you to your desired goals.

There is one assumption that we make before moving further; personal management is as important and as vital to success as strategic management. The reason why this is safe to assume is because it is a well-managed person who leads to a bigger, organizational success; hence, the person has to be managed first.

Coming back to our objective of making it happen, there is one change in perspective that is vital to growth and success; today is all I have to make it happen! This does not mean that we start believing that there is no tomorrow but rather what it implies is to be as productive and valuable as s/he can be on a particular day. Once you are on the path of productivity with distractions minimized, here is what the easier part is.

Peter Bregman, who is an adviser to many CEOs and their teams to tackle priorities, suggests the following:

1.       Set Plan for Day: Before you start your day, sit down, relax, sip your coffee and set a plan for your day (writing it down is preferred). This should help you in listing down the things and filtering out what to prioritize and otherwise.

2.       Focus: Follow the list. Check your list every hour to evaluate how productive you have been the last hour. The aim of this exercise is to help you re-focus on the tasks you prioritized, filtering out the distractions.

3.       Review: At the end of every day, review your list to find out how productive have you been today to check and mark your success on the right lines. This should help you for a better tomorrow.

Why we at Nixon University believe that this area needs greater emphasis is because Time and Personal Management are becoming more of an art in the modern day scenario and thus it is imperative to manage yourself better and making full use of the time that you have.

What a Top Performer does that others don't...

Do you ever wonder why we end up checking our Facebook account when we should be working instead? The answer is an overtaxed mind which might also be lacking some essential training.

The next thing we ask ourselves is how do we overcome this problem, the answer is simple but we need to dedicate some time towards this essential training and REST!

A study conducted recently that examined top performers suggested that it is their ability to focus on the defined objective, their un-matched stamina to train their body and mind regularly and systematically combined with the time they dedicated to rest that enables them to give out their best in the field; be it athletics, composing music or their workplace. The study aimed at proving that the common practice of giving up rest with the expectation of utilizing that time to finish the job at hand is actually a flawed approach altogether. 

During the study, it was also found out that Susan Butcher who was a veterinarian’s assistant and was well aware of the physical strength of her dogs trained them for four-to-six hour spurts and allowed them to rest of the same time, earned her team a four time win in the race at the takes place in the Arctic and is measured at 1,100 miles.

The point is to understand the importance of work-rest-work-rest cycle as the differentiating factor rather than to be over-occupied with just work or rest to perform well both in the short as well as long-run.

Experts suggest that one should always keep in mind the limit to which a body and mind can be put to work to ensure appropriate levels of attention and performance. Although the fact remains that one can take help from meditation to strengthen the brain muscle. From the perspective of cognitive science all meditation methods are methods to train attention. An increasingly popular method to grow the power of the brain’s circuitry for attention is “mindfulness,” a meditation method stripped of a religious belief system. 

Other methods include solutions such as ‘lunchtime stops, during which employees are allowed to go home, have a hearty meal followed by a nap, ideally so as to ensure performance later in the day.

What You Need To Know Before You Decide Your Career Path

It seems all very well to choose the most trending industry for your ultimate career path, especially when a lot your peers are getting into it as well. The trouble starts when you get in and realize it really is not your cup of tea. You might have thought you could pursue a career in public relations but then you realized you really weren’t into the whole publicity and event management scene. You were actually a lot more interested in digital marketing and working your magic form behind the scenes, using the anonymity afforded by the internet. The trouble is by the time you had this realization in full, you had already completed your education or were halfway through it. You had not only wasted your time but also years of your life pursuing a career in a field that you realized wasn’t suited to you.      

   

This is the story of not one but many students around the world who fail to make this professional realization sooner. The result is loss, both financial and personal. A career choice is not one that can be made lightly. It requires a lot of thought unless you are already aware of your propensities and know you can do something. Before you make a choice, consider the following tips (compiled by the Nixon University Career Center):

• Do some soul searching. Find out what your strengths and weaknesses are.  Find out what you are good at. This way, you will be able to judge better what you can and can’t do.
• Choose a field that matches your abilities. There’s no point in trying to become a cryptographer when you are bad at math and complex logic. Unless you can really change that, look for other options no matter how attractive the other may seem.
• Do a little research about the field you are considering pursuing your career in. It will give you a good idea about what kind of jobs and opportunities you can expect in it. 

At Nixon University, students are always encouraged to ask for career-related advice from the counselors who are always available to guide the students in the best way. Such tips are useful in saving time and as well as making you think twice before you make a wrong choice that will result in loss.

UN Montreal Protocol Helping to Slow Down Melting Ozone Layer

The ozone layer is a layer in the earth’s atmosphere that is responsible for absorbing most of the Sun’s heat in order to keep the planet from overheating. This is very necessary in order to maintain a balance in the Earth’s temperatures and ensuring that they remain tolerable for human, animal and plant life. For the past few years, however, the ozone layer has been depleting at an alarming rate due to the increased production of greenhouse gases and chemicals that are harmful to the ozone. Use of products containing chlorofluorocarbons, like aerosol sprays, are also on the rise and with the increase in population, more and more people are using these products.

The thinning of the ozone layer has caused several climatic and environmental problems for the planet. Several areas of the world now have longer and hotter summers. Glaciers and icecaps have started melting at accelerated rates, causing water levels of oceans, seas and river s to rise around the world. In certain areas this has brought flooding and disaster as water reaches uncontainable levels.

Because of the far reaching effects of the diminishing ozone layer, countries all over the world meet regularly to propose measures to control the situation.  The UN Montreal Protocol has recently proved to slow down this thinning of the ozone layer. The Protocol states reduced usage of products containing CFCs around the world, a measure that has brought with it positive results. A recent study showed that without the Montreal Protocol, the Earth’s surface would be 0.1 degrees Celsius hotter. This study was shared among all the students of Nixon University. The treaty is helping to slow down the drastic depletion of the ozone layer and contributing to making the planet more environmentally healthy. Awareness about the importance the ozone layer and global warming and the threats it poses to our planet has increased and countries are paying more attention to taking stringent measures to help control the situation.

At Nixon University, students of Natural Sciences study issues such as these in depth, while students of other departments are also provided with such information so that they may know what is going on in the world.  This is done so that students of Nixon University may be able to contribute positively to solving world problems. This is an indication of the University’s indication of commitment to producing quality human resource that can work for the betterment of the environment they live in.             

Nixon University Celebrates World Mental Health Day

The World Mental Health Day was celebrated this year on the theme of “Mental health and older adults”. People around the world made contributions in their own way. Most educational institutes carried out informative sessions on mental health among older adults and its importance in society. Many volunteers made trips to nursing homes to spend some time with the inmates and get to know about their needs and problems better.

At Nixon University, the School of Psychology carried a special online session that covered topics relating to mental health in older adults. Specialists, including Nixon University faculty members spoke about the need for more awareness in this regard and the steps that can be taken to make their lives more comfortable. Students were made aware of the common mental illnesses and their causes in older adults and preventive measures that can be taken. Several students of Nixon University from countries all over the world shared their experiences on the celebrations of the World Mental Health Day this year.

The World Mental Health Day was observed this year amid a lot of enthusiasm from students, doctors and social workers alike. Senior citizens expressed their delight in being treated with special attention. It was a source of learning as well as a humbling experience for the students to visit these older adults and get to know about the kind of life they are living, the treatments they are receiving and what can be done to make their lives easier.          

Nixon University has always encouraged its students to take part in such activities so that their exposure to the world is enhanced. Nixon University students are known for their caliber and initiatives and taking part in such activities will add to this quality.
