In recent times the “civil service” has tented more and more to refer to the body of public servants whose careers in government are conducted under uniform regulations of appointment and promotion.

The term is British in origin and was first used as early as 1785 to mean the civilian officials of British East India Company.

By the 1850s the term was used not only to describe the civilian British government in India but also the civilian corps of officials of the British Government in England itself.

In 1855 the British Parliament ratified a system of examinations for entrance into the Civil Service and established a Civil Service Commission to supervise the examinations and applications.

2.  Give clear marching orders.  You’d think that by now, women would know they can’t just toss out directives and hope for the best.  Whether you’re dealing with a distracted husband, or your teenagers, you must communicate exactly what you expect.

3.  Kick the TV habit.  Turn on the set only when a specific program you want to see is scheduled.  Institute a once-a-week “blackout” nights, when nobody in your family gets to watch TV.  It’s amazing what you can accomplish in the time you usually spend staring at the screen.

4.  Use your peak energy level. Knowing when it’s highest — morning, afternoon, or night — allows you to tackle your most difficult tasks when you’re feeling sharpest.

5.  Call ahead when you run errands.  Before you make the trip, call the library to be sure it has the book you need or the video store to see if that tape you want is in. A few minutes on the phone can save you an hour or more.

6.  Don’t play the waiting game, at the doctor’s office or anywhere else.  Try to book the first appointment in the morning or the first one after lunch. That way, it’s unlikely anybody will be ahead of you.  When you phone your doctor’s office to arrange for an appointment, make sure the receptionist knows you’re on a tight schedule.  And on the day of the appointment, call ahead to see if there’s a wait. No patient should sit around for more than 30 minutes. If the office can’t accommodate you within that time, think about finding another doctor (or dentist or therapist). Your time has value too.

7.  Toss it!  It’s much simpler to streamline your routine. Select the quality products you use every day and dump the rest.

on our best behavior, at work, at play, day in, day out.

Get over it, there is too much stress, on a daily basis, in

life. When things get on your nerves, what would be

better than a good old fashioned, roof raising scream?

This is so therapeutic, for your mind and body. It’s like

a cleansing, from the depths of your lungs. Your entire

body will feel the effects.

We go through our days, enduring intolerances, both

large and small, from friend and foe. The build-up is

is not healthy, in the long run, most of the time, we don’t

even realize the damage we are doing to our systems.

Until we have a check-up, and the doctor gives us some

unpleasant news, stress in moderation is alright, but none

of us have stress meters. So we go along, thinking all is

well, when it really is not.

Now let’s be clear, let’s not go around, screaming at

everybody, and about everything, all over the place.

That should not be the plan, but a weekly scream

session, somewhere that you would be the only audience,

if you have a family, you have to make them aware of

your self-saving time.

It is delicious, your innards are stimulated, your brain cells

rejuvenated, your intestinal fortitude, gets reinforced. It’s

like a warrior’s charge forward. Now, you can opt to have

a silent scream session, but it is much better to have the

sound effect. You need this, it is a freeing force, a total

releasing of stress.

If you plan a scream time, you will be able to handle drama

much better. Things that used to tick you off, will become

much less important, because, you know your scream time,

is just around the corner. Make the appointment with yourself,

and keep it, this is important, it is a disciplinary tactic. Your

body and mind, will look forward, to your special time.

Your scream time should probably be scheduled at home, so

that afterwards, you can run a nice, scented bubble-bath, with

candles, a nice glass of wine, and soft music. Life is very hectic,

and you must be, a step in front of the craziness, so pampering

yourself, after your scream session is a must, and an effective

way to keep yourself above the fray. You will be able to handle

things, on your own terms.

Try it, schedule a rip roaring scream time, for yourself. It’s

exhilarating, and it ramps up your level of endurance. It is

a method of saying, “I’m in charge, I dictate the terms.

This will become an effective, part of my survival kit, and

I will use it fully.” Have fun. Stay in touch and let me know

how it goes, if you do start to schedule your scream time.

Your system will be better for it. Take care.

When she gets tired while climbing the mountain, accompany her to rest for a while. Carry her on your back, if she is unable to climb anymore. Do not grumble or scold her for giving you a trouble. Carry her properly on your back as tough you carry a laptop by not complaining tired even you may end up with sweating.

If she is allergy against ultraviolet, make sure you shade her with an umbrella during the summer time.

If she does not know how to use a knife, offer your assistance by cutting a Pizza into smaller pieces. Then, put a piece of them on her plate. Let her have a first taste.

Prepare yourself to eat her leftover meals.

If she feels sleepy while having dinner, feed her one spoon by one spoon as though you are taking care of a baby. (The Korean characters, saranghamnida says, “I love you!”)

Wipe her nasal mucus with your tissue, then fold it properly and put it back into your pocket. Throw away the tissue when you encounter any garbage bins down the street.

While watching movie, let her sleeps on your shoulder comfortably and remember to hold her right arm.

When she is out with friends, leave your cell phone on till late night. Wait her call before going to bed.

Hold her hand properly and do not let her fall off. Adapt your interest according to her favorite hobbies.

When you have to travel abroad due to work schedule, remember to give her a call and bring her back a present.

Whenever you call her, always begin by asking, “Are you feeling well?” “How’s your job?” “Is everything OK for you?” “What’re you doing there?” and etc.

Try whatever you can to spend time with her, even very short period will do.

Before sleep, give her a call and let her chats for a while.
