How to end a letter or email

Today we are going to explain different ways to end a letter or email. It seems a quite easy thing to do at first sight, buy you will be surprised to know how many people simply don't find the way to do it. Apparently these persons suffer from some kind of O.C.D (obsessive compulsive disorder) which prevents them from bringing their writing to an end. If you are one of those, please read carefully.

    Nowadays, the rush and pressure of modern live, combined with unhealthy habits and family issues in a sort of 'Molotov cocktail', makes many people develop some weird behaviors that are described like a compulsive pathology (such as washing, checking, ordering); and between them, the one that is our concern: the inability to stop writing.

     In order to deal with this problem, you have to focus on what you want to communicate in that letter or email and apply in presenting it in the clearest way. Once you objectively consider that your subject is properly printed in words, you just have to hold your hand and stop writing. As plain and simple as that. It can be hard, at first, but with some training you'll be able to do it. Try to occupy your mind with some other stuff: watch a movie, go out for a walk, call a friend, do some cleaning (but not so much, just the necessary). Maybe, the first times you won't be able to avoid the temptation to go back to your text and write some more lines, but step by step, day after day, you'll finally succeed in refraining yourself from doing it.

     If after some months of training you are still unable to stop writing at all, maybe you have to consider seeing a specialist. He or she will be capable of conducting you through all the process. Sometimes medication may be needed, but not always. If so, do not panic, it is just some more approach to deal with your problem.

     And remember, frequently all you have to say can be said in a few lines. Recognize when you reach to this point and respect it, just as I am doing right now.

  

How to download youtube videos and audio in an easy way

Above all, we must clarify that by doing this you could be violating the copyright laws, SOPA law, PIPA law, and even CISPA law, which is even worse than all previous ones all together. You could face serious charges and spend the rest of your days in prison or also pay onerous reparations to the affected companies.

    Now, if you still want to venture out, here I give you these simple tips to download all the music and videos you want.

    In order to download music it is essential to have two computers. One can be a notebook, or even a tablet, but at least one of them must have a good sound system with external speakers. The louder the sound is played, the better the results. The following thing is to play the YouTube video from which you want to download the music. It is important to make it from the computer that has the best sound. Then, on the other computer or tablet, run the "Sound Recorder" (This can be done from the "Accessories" or simply typing "recorder" in the Start Search box). Once in the "Sound Recorder" we give "Start Recording" and all the music from the video of the other computer will begin to register in this one effectively. The best results are obtained if the two computers are as close as possible to each other, and if the ambient noise is minimized.

    On the other hand, to download videos from YouTube, the process is similar. In this case, for reproduction you must choose the computer with the larger screen, and the second computer must run a little program to capture video, as there are thousands on the web. In the event we have a tablet, it will be much easier because you can record directly with the software provided by the manufacturer. In this case it is important that both the first computer, but especially the second, remain completely motionless during the entire recording process, as any slight movement that is applied on one of them will be recorded in the final video with undesirable consequences. You should place both devices on a suitable support rather than hold them with your hands; also it prevents you from the frequent problem of putting your fingers in front of the camera.

    As you see, it's not so complicated and in this way you’ll be able to download all your favorite videos and music.

How to analyze a poem

First of all, you have to have a poem to read. 

 Second, you have to start reading it.

 As you go on reading (it's strongly recommended to do it aloud), you have to pay attention to the words, not only the meaning but also the sound. 

 You have to figure out the images in your mind and combine them with the sound coming out from your mouth.

  After completing the reading of the poem, you have to consider to important things: one, the sense of the poem (what the author tried to mean), and two, the rhythm of the poem (how it sound aloud). 

  Once you make your opinion about these subjects, it is advisable to reread the poem once again.

  It is possible that you liked the meaning and not the rhythm or vice versa, but if you like both it sounds like magic.

   Poems are quite like people, you don't have to like all of them, but for certain must be one over there you can fall in love with.
