Modern mass society presents a sharp contrast, as the young grow up. They are faced with confusions, delays and discontinuities. Adolescents in particular are uncertain about themselves. Some are in conflict with themselves, bewildered an insecure.

Values are usually influenced by the changing philosophical ideologies, cultural and religious perspectives, social, political and geographical conditions. In modern emerging society, there has been a revolutionary change in the field of values due to many factors in addition to the influence of modern culture, industrialization, modernization, urbanization, globalisation and multinationals.

Values are the guiding principles, decisive in day to day behaviors as also is critical life situations. Values are a set bring of principles or standards of behavior. Values are regarded desirable,important and held in high esteem by a particular society in which a person lives.

Value education means inculcating in the children a sense humanism, a deep concern for the well being of others and the nation.This can be accomplished only when we instill in the children a deep feeling of commitment to values that would build this country and bring back to the people pride in work that brings order, security and assured progress.

Value education refers to a programme of planned educational action aimed at the development of value and character. Every action and thought of ours leaves an impression in our mind. These impressions determine in our behavior at a given moment and our responses to a given situation. The sum total of all our impressions is what determines our character. The past has determined the present and even so the present our present thoughts and actions will shape our future. This is a key principle governing personality development. The human values are resolved having lasting impact necessary for bringing about change in thought and conduct, in the 21st century.

“If there is righteousness in the heart there will be beauty in character If there is beauty in character There will be harmony in the home When there is harmony in the home There will be order in the nation When there is order in the nation There will be peace in the world”

At the boyhood state, individual physical development is concerned, during manhood and old age intellectual and spiritual values start dominating the corporal values. Therefore while imparting moral education educators must keep in mind that the young must be educated.

Prizes may be given to the deserving persons for showing honesty, bravery, truth etc. The award should be given during school gathering. Contests may be organized on values of life.

Is it any wonder most people run to avoid network marketers?

One has only to listen to how the network marketing opportunity is presented to see why. Here’s the breakdown of what most mlmers say to the poor would-be recruit:

About the company: “Blah, blah, this is a ten year old company that is already listed on the S & P 500, blah, blah.”
About the product: “Blah, blah, this product will burn off fat faster than a million EZ Bake Ovens on steroids, blah, blah.”
About the compensation plan: “Blah, blah, this plan is a hybrid, super-compensating binary, matrix, break away, thingy plan that forces all the top producers upline into your compensation pool, blah, blah.”
What all these dismal presentations have in common is that they are not about the prospect and what the prospect wants or needs.

Have you ever told someone they could become rich when all they really wanted was to spend more time at home with their family? Not good.

So how do you tell people about your opportunity? You put the focus on what the prospect wants.

John, on the phone, you suggested that you might be interested in starting a home-based business. But before we get into that, perhaps you could tell me what changes you are wanting to make in your life that made you look into home-based business opportunities?

Or
John, I would like to explain a project I’m working on that I think could help a lot of us financially. But before we do that, tell me about your situation and why you think an extra income could make a difference in your life right now?

Or
Jane, I appreciate your meeting with me today. I’ve brought some material here that show what I think is an astoundingly unique opportunity. But before we get started on that, what is your perspective on potentially forming a mutually beneficial partnership?

Or
Sandra, it was very kind of you to meet with us today. We’re here to talk about an exciting opportunity that we believe could make us set financially for the rest of our lives. But before we get started, could you tell us why you agreed to meet with us and what you hope this business might be able to do for you?

Or
Kim, it was very gracious of you to invite me into your home to talk about what I believe is the most exciting business opportunity available today. But before we get into that, tell me about yourself and why you happened to be looking into home-based business opportunities at this time?
Notice that all of these openers invite the prospect to get the ball rolling and talk about themselves and why they indicated at least a little bit of interest.

These questions are called “Socratic Questions,” and I learned the format from a book called, Socratic Selling by Kevin Daley and Emmett Wolfe. I strongly encourage you to go on Amazon and order a copy of this book for yourself.

Socratic questions get the other person to do most of the talking. But also, they invite them to show you what they want.

Why would you waste time talking about your product, the company or the compensation plan to a single mom who just wants to be able to stay home with her kids? Why would you go on and on about anything other than the answer to that person’s needs?

Employ Socratic Questions in your next presentation or one-on-one meeting over a cup of coffee. When you try this method, you will have the feeling that you are gently pulling someone along who wants to be led along anyway.

Contrast that to the feeling you probably associate with your previous presentations in which you are pushing and chasing. There really is a better way.

Feeling some nervousness before and during your workshop is a natural thing. Actually, I rather have some butterflies than a bumblebee flying around in my stomach. It protects me from getting stung with the venom of cocky. But, too much nervousness can be harmful. Here’s how you can control your nervousness and conduct effective, memorable presentations:

1. Know the room.

Be familiar with the place in which you will speak. Arrive early.
I usually suggest no less than 6o minutes before the start of your session.
Practice using the microphone and any other audiovisual equipment you plan to use.

2. Know the audience.

Greet your participants as they arrive. It’s easier to
speak to a group of new friends than to a group of strangers.

3. Know your material.

If you’re not familiar with your material or are uncomfortable with it, your nervousness will increase. Practice the delivery of your workshop. If you must refer to a prepared script than practice reading sections and maximize eye contact with your audience.

4. Relax.

Ease tension by doing exercises and stretches. Simple push-ups on the wall can work wonders. However, you do other things like practicing your smile and stretching your face muscles. Don’t forget to stretch those neck muscles too. Oops did I mention deep breathing?

5. Visualize yourself giving your workshop the days before and as you travel to the workshop site.

Imagine yourself speaking, your voice loud, clear, and confident. See your participants looking attentive and interactive. When you visualize yourself doing a good job, you will be successful.

6. Believe that people want you to succeed.

Most workshop participants want you to be interesting, stimulating, informative, and entertaining.
They don’t want you to fail. Don’t you feel the same way about your trainer and facilitator when you are a workshop participant?

7. Don’t apologize.

If you mention your nervousness or apologize for any problems you think you have with your presentation, you may be calling the audience’s attention to something they may not have noticed. Keep silent. Remember -if you point to the sweat, they will see it!

8. FOCUS on your important messages.

Focus your attention away from your own inner anxieties, and outwardly toward your messages and your audience. Your nervousness will dissipate.

9. Gain experience by presenting as often as you can.

Experience builds confidence. Like any skills set -the more you do it the better you will get! That includes mistakes. Also, check out a Toastmasters club in your area. It is a great place to build your confidence for workshops and speeches. (www.Toastmasters.org)
10. Put your butterflies into a flying formation by turning your nervousness into positive energy.

Harness your nervous energy and transform it into vitality and enthusiasm. Allow your passion to ooze out whenever possible.

Looking for a great birthday present to surprise your kids? Want to find the perfect Christmas present to give to one of your nieces or nephews? Here’s a great suggestion…why not look for a Mini ATV? Mini ATV is a smaller version of what we used to call the All-Terrain Vehicle. ATVs were first used in farms and fields to aid workers in their daily tasks. But now, many people ride ATVs for fun and for recreation. In fact, it’s so popular these days that even kids can have fun on their own Mini ATVs.

With the growing demand for Mini ATV, manufacturers have designed and developed smaller ATV to suit young kids…as young as 4-years-old. Is it safe for kids to ride ATVs? Well, an ATV can be dangerous in the hands of an ill-informed rider but if you educate and train your kids well, there’s really nothing to be afraid of. In fact, many latest Mini ATV models these days come packed with safety features to help parents intervene in times of trouble. The important thing is to make your children understand that they have to abide by the safety rules that you have outlined for them whenever they ride their Mini ATV. It’s advisable for parents to invest in some safety gears and Mini ATV accessories. So, get some Mini ATV accessories to go with the present as well!!

When Mini ATV was first introduced, they were a little on the pricey side considering their size and capacity. But now, things are different. Many companies from the US and other parts of the world are producing good or reasonable quality Mini ATVs today, therefore, the price have taken a dramatic dip. So, Mini ATV today is actually quite affordable. It will make a fabulous present for young kids who love the outdoor and likes adventures!! It may sound as if only boys will enjoy Mini ATV, but this is far from the truth because we have seen many young girls who are addicted and attached to their Mini ATVs!

It would be even better if each family member have their own ATV to ride. This will make family trips more fun! Imagine, everyone can ride their own ATV…you on your own full-sized ATV and the kids on their Mini ATV…and you can spend holidays out in trails or camping locations!

So, start surfing for the right ATV to give to your children for their birthdays or as Christmas gifts now! You won’t regret it.
