Dressing well not only makes you feel more confident, but it can also help you look better and feel better about yourself. According to a study published in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, people who dressed well felt better about themselves than those who didn’t. They also had higher self-esteem and were more likely to feel confident in social situations. Dressing well can help improve your body image too. A study published in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology found that people who felt good about their appearance were more likely to have a positive body image. They were also less likely to feel self-conscious about their weight and body size.
Yesterday, I experienced the same when I got dressed to go for an outing. Generally, I do not care about my clothes and wear them without planning. Yesterday, I wore a dress gifted by my mother a few days ago. Soon after, I started feeling positive and confident as well. In the mall, I even noticed people were looking at me which I don't usually see. One of the ladies who was in mid 30s even complimented my dress while I was in a queue waiting for the milkshake. She was curious to know where I bought the dress. I felt really good and was happy at the same time. It is such a nice feeling when you get a compliment in a public place by a stranger. A friend's compliment will not matter much as compared to the person whom you do not know. After this incident, I am more conscious now to dress better and look good every time. Apart from this, I am practicing to wear one more thing every day. I read about it just yesterday in an outstanding article posted by Bill Abbate- The best thing you can wear
Happy dressing! Photo by Александр Слесарев

Qualifications play an important role in our success. With formal qualifications one gets a lot of opportunities to prove his/ her worth in the society. It even increases one's earning potential.
Today, I am not writing about our academic qualifications that most of us earn during our childhood and adulthood. I want to talk about a qualification which we may have but we do not take it seriously. The qualification of "Concentration" The capacity to concentrate is a very useful qualification. It not only helps us to meditate well but also helps in tracking the vagaries of our own mind.
The qualification of concentration helped me in the following: 1) I can meditate for long periods without feeling tired now. 2) I am more content which is the highest source of joy and the most valuable possession. It helps me in overcoming desire, greed, discrimination and lust.
With all of the above, I have trained my mind to overcome the drawbacks of an unsatisfactory environment. I remain calm and comfortable in any place. Now, no spot is exasperating to me nor any place seems repulsive.
I am happy to have this functional qualification. #qualification #contentment #concentration #possession #meditation #happy

I was facing the challenge to convert my files on a daily basis. My professor suggested me to use "Convertio" It is a free tool to convert audio, video, image, document, archive, presentation, font and ebook in any format.

Most of us end up selecting a wrong career path. We pay a lot of time, energy and money doing tasks which we don't like. This should be improved by reaching out to professional career counselors. Life will be different and interesting after being counseled well. It will be a life full of success when we love our job. I am enjoying my career journey. Thank you counselor.

Success and failure are two sides of a coin. We feel happy if we are successful and tend to do more work with a great amount of positivity. What happens if we fail in a certain activity? We get demoralized and can't bear the rejection. Gradually, we start the phase of seeing a state of depression. Our work life balance goes haywire. We start to see everything getting spoiled one by one. My failure story: I once faced the same situation when I could not diagnose one of my patients correctly. Though I was learning at that time, my batchmates did a better job. After this, I went into a state of depression by this single failure which is very small in the career of medicine. My seniors motivated me but it was not creating any impact on me. The more I think about it the more I get depressed. How I got inspired and bounced back? One day, I got a chance to meet one of the learned faculties in Pediatrics in my institution. She told me she even made the same mistake during her graduation but she never took it as a failure. In fact, she worked hard and improved her diagnostic skills drastically. Now she is one of the most reputed doctors in the world. This gave me a lesson to not get affected by failure or rejection in any situation. We should bounce back with more vigor.

We have daily chores that need to be done. Without realizing it, some of us keep on completing it one after another without taking a break. This decreases the overall efficiency. I have made a habit of taking breaks during work. Sometimes I take a break of one day or even one week. This keeps me motivated and quality of work improves as well. Complete your work but at your convenience.

How many of us think before buying any product or service? Are you buying things without considering the existing resources that are available to you? My experience: It had happened to me several times that whenever need arises for a product, either I buy it online or offline instantly. Most of the times I repent my buying decision because, later I would have found some article which was already present at my place that was good enough to satisfy my need. Due to heavy industrialization we get new products easily anywhere and also at economical prices. We overlook things that are present at our place. So, the whole objective of writing this post is to make you aware of the existing resources you have. Do you really need that product? Ask yourself.

We all know medicines have their own side effects. Despite of this fact we consume a lot of medicines on a daily basis. Be it vitamins, blood thinners and what not. I strongly suggest to consult your doctor first in case you start any medicine. Also, the duration is very important. Don't keep on consuming it for months. Take it in the prescribed format only. A few days ago, a patient came to me complaining of stomach ache. I asked him the medicines he was taking. Only during the discussion I came to know he was consuming calcium and vitamin-e medicines for no reason. I asked him to stop them immediately and now he is absolutely fine. After all, being healthy is in your hands. Share this information among your family members and friends. Stay healthy!!

I am happy to post it here. I have recently completed a 14-week training program in Medical Coding for Industrial Biotechnology. Medical Coding is the process of converting Verbal Descriptions into numeric or alphanumeric by using ICD 10-CM, CPT & HCPCS. I would like to thank my guide Dr. Svelt Narke and his entire team.
