Notes, summaries, assignments, exams, and problems for Teaching & Education

Hello! In this video, I'm going to talk about Twitter, perhaps my "main" social network.

What is Twitter?

Twitter is a social network created on July 13, 2006. It was invented by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams. Currently, it has 326 million users. This isn't anything compared to Facebook with 2.271 billion users or WhatsApp, which has 1.5 billion users nowadays.

What Can You Do on Twitter?

On Twitter, you can write short texts (with 240 characters or less) about anything you want, and then you can wait for your friends' answers. You can also use Twitter to read news, be aware of trending topics, or see memes when you are bored. Another functionality that Twitter has is that you can direct message your friends.

Separate the People from the Problem

The relationship tends to become entangled with the problem. Negotiators have to separate the relationship from the substance and deal directly with the people's problem. How to do it?

• Put yourself in the shoes of your counterpart.
• Talk about the ideas and expectations of both parties.
• Do not hold your counterpart responsible for your own problems.

Make sure the other party is involved in the decision and actively participates. Make it possible for them to "save face": Adapt your suggestions to the value system of your negotiation partner.

Articulate your emotions and acknowledge that they are justified. Allow the other party to let off steam.

Use symbolic gestures (e.g., shaking hands, a small gift).

Listen attentively... Continue reading "Effective Negotiation Strategies" »

Traveling can be an incredible and life-changing experience. One of the biggest benefits of traveling is that it allows you to see the world and learn about different cultures and ways of life. You can try new foods, learn new languages, and explore new landscapes, all of which can broaden your horizons and help you develop a more nuanced understanding of the world.

However, traveling can also be expensive and time-consuming. It can be difficult to balance work and travel, and you may find that you're constantly on the go, which can be tiring and stressful. Additionally, traveling can be dangerous, especially if you're traveling alone or in unfamiliar areas.

Despite these challenges, many people find that the benefits of traveling far outweigh... Continue reading "Time of useful consciousness" »
