Welcome to September,
Do you enjoy having conversations with people? You can
learn a lot from others. But when you converse, there are
principles to follow.
In “Make What You Say Count” (p. 12), you’ll get some
good ideas about how to have a meaningful conversation. One
thing all of us can avoid is getting too wrapped up in our next
thought. Instead, really listen and ask questions about what
you’ve heard.
Businesses especially need to listen to their customers.
People are shopping more online, and their tastes are changing. Read
more about that in “Adjusting to Major Market Changes” (p. 18).
Tigers are my favorite animals, maybe because I was born in the
Year of the Tiger! The big cats are so majestic, so I am glad to hear
that the wild tiger population is increasing. I’d love to see tigers in
the wild, wouldn’t you? In “Tracking Big Cats Through the ‘Tiger
State’” (p. 16), you can share the writer’s thrilling experience
of seeing a tiger in India.
We have a lot of information to share with you this
month. You can learn something new and share with others.
