Dress for Success

Your clothes express a great deal about the confident, super-achieving professional that you are. Dressing to impress is never more important than when you’re stepping out for a professional rendezvous. Clothes that exude professionalism, control and comfort can go a long way in cementing your image as the perfect power woman who will deliver as she promises. Here are a few tips to dress right and crack that business meeting that will propel your career further:

Suits: A crisp and tidy formal suit is an ideal dress which can never go wrong for any kind of business meeting. Neutral colours like black, brown, blue and off-white are perfect as business outfits. Stay away from flashy colours as they will snatch all the attention from your presentation to your outfit. Pair the suits with long pants or a formal skirt with a collared shirt or a shell top. A professional suit denotes the importance you give to that particular meeting.

Pants: Your choice of pants indicates a lot about you. In fact pants can make or break your look, so be extra careful while sporting them. Khaki, corduroy and twill are excellent choices for fabric. The pants should be properly ironed. Make sure that the hem of the pant covers your ankle but doesn’t fall on the floor. Avoid pants in denims, synthetics (polyester and rayon) and pure cotton materials.

Skirt suits: Skirt suits are suitable for those who want to look graceful and stylish, while keeping their corporate look intact. The colour, material and length of the skirt are highly important. All these attributes of your skirt should complement your personality. An inch here and there can make you look less than immaculate. Ensure that your skirt suit is properly fitted, neither too long nor too small.

 Shoes: When it comes to shoes, keep it as simple and modest as you can. Stick to closed-toed pump shoes for a professional look. The colour of your shoe must go with the outfit you are wearing. Try to avoid high heels, flat sandals and stilettos.

Your walk and handshake are two things that show how confident you are in a business meeting. Don’t let the walk go wrong by choosing a wrong pair of shoes.

Wear minimal accessories: Prep up your look with a pair of elegant earrings and perhaps an understated neck-piece. A classic bag and a tasteful watch will further enhance the look. A little more than this will reverse the impact. Try to avoid glittering and showy accessories.

Color and Patterns: Choose your colours wisely and thoughtfully. Stick to sophisticated shades like dark grey, beige and navy blue which will keep you on the safer side. Conservative and sober patterns can further add to your professional and business-like demeanour.

Other details: Fashion simply means being comfortable and presentable. Don’t go for something that doesn’t match your personna. Learn to carry off good outfits with a greater panache. It is imperative that clothes be clean, ironed and crisp and shoes be polished properly. A judicious combination of the right clothes and right attitude will do wonders for you in a business meeting.

Cost / Quality: Put your money on quality, not on popular brands that are uber expensive. Business meetings are not for showing off labels but to present a pleasing yet sophisticated image in front of your potential clients.

A Quote worth Contemplating

Quotes are one of the many sources of inspiration. They are life’s essence in short and it is very important that we make it a habit to read a t least a new daily this will enlighten us.

We read many quotes and hear them also but there will be some which will strike straight at heart and you will never forget them. Some time such quotes change your entire perspective of life.

I heard one quote in a movie which is by Yendamuri Veerendranath it goes like this “life is not a key that you keep it in some one’s hand and sleep peacefully” what more can anyone say in short about the value of ‘your’ life. This is a quote which I will never forget in my life.

Yes, many of us depend on others for each and every thing and every minor and major decision in life which is not a right thing.

God has blessed us each and every one of us with brains and wisdom so that we can think what is good for us and then act in such a way.

There is no harm in taking others opinions and consulting someone, but it is not at all good to depend on others when it comes to life changing decisions.

It is easy to put the burden of our life on someone else and live a carefree life, but to take the responsibility of your behavior, of your decisions and ultimately of your life into your own hands, and accepting the results whatever they are instead of putting the blame on someone else is a thing that everyone must learn.

As long as you don’t value yourself, know your worth, and the value of your life, you will never live your life, you will be a puppet in someone else’s hand.

But the day you recognize your own worth, you give value to yourself and start living life that way that is the day when you started living ‘your’ life. So, take time and think about this.

• Failure give us a hint, they act as a warning signs for us, and let us know that the direction in which we are leading our life is not right and some changes need to be made
• Failure teaches us the value of time, value of persons and resources.
• Instead of thinking and taking it for granted that this is it with this failure ends my life. If we change our attitude and see this phase of failure as a passing cloud, we will leave failure behind
• Failure gives time for us, to think and introspect ourselves.
• Failure gives the right direction to our life. It shows that may be the direction in which we have been going is not good for us, and we need to change the direction.
• Failure if used properly increases our patience.
• Failure gives us the strength to accept things and to with stand and absorb the challenges that life throws at us.
• Failure prepares us for life, most of the times we don’t do anything out of fear of failure, but when you experience it, you overcome it and equip yourself for success.

Every person at some stage in life must have experienced failure. But it is our attitude towards failure and the way we treat it and understand it, that makes the difference between a failure and a successful person. Failures are the pillars to success, and right quote to adopt in life.

Bill Gates: 11 Rules You Will Never Learn In School

1) Life is not fair get used to it.

2) The world doesn’t care about yourself esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

3)You will not make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice president with a car phone until you earn both.

4) If you think your teacher is tough wait till you get a boss.

5) Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

6) If you mess up it’s not your parents fault so don’t whine about your mistakes learn from them.

7) Before you were born your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation try delousing the closet in your own room.

8) Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they will give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANY THING in real life.

9) Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

10) Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the Coffee Shop and go to jobs.

11) Be nice to nerds. Chances are you will end up working for one.
