Women often complain that the men in their lives are not romantic enough. But men sometimes have trouble expressing their feelings, often resorting to cheesy Hall Mark cards or pricey bejeweled baubles to do the job for them. But there is a far better way to be romantic and it doesn’t involve spending a fortune or even opening your mouth.
In the days before courting consisted of hanging out and getting drinks, courting was a formal and dignified endeavor. Symbols were used to express feelings and thoughts deemed too special for mere words. During the Victorian Era, a whole romantic language developed around the giving and receiving of flowers. Everything from the type and size of the flower to the way it was held or presented conveyed layers of meaning and communicated a gentleman’s feelings and intentions. Each bouquet contained a secret message for a lady to eagerly interpret and endlessly dissect.
These days giving flowers has become a somewhat ho-hum cliché. Resurrecting this Victorian tradition will infuse the gesture with new life and romance and bring back some of the subtly, mystery, and fun of courtship. Your lady will swoon that you put far more thought into your selection of flowers than grabbing a bouquet out of the case at Wal-Mart. You’ll come off as a real gentleman and a hopeless romantic. It can become an amazing tradition you’ll both enjoy. Seriously, women eat this stuff up.
Of course, even women nowadays have forgotten the meanings of flowers. So buy your lady a flower dictionary. And keep a copy for yourself (it’s important that you both use the same reference, as the meanings were never set in stone and can sometimes vary from book to book). Then, each time you present her with a bouquet, she can search the volume to find what secret messages you have embedded in the flowers
Dịch bài đọc:
Phụ nữ thường phàn nàn rằng những người đàn ông trong đời họ không đủ lãng mạn. Nhưng đàn ông đôi khi gặp khó khăn trong việc thể hiện cảm xúc của mình, thường phải dùng đến những tấm thiệp Hall Mark sang chảnh hoặc những món đồ trang sức đắt tiền để thể hiện tình cảm của họ. Nhưng có một cách tốt hơn nhiều để trở nên lãng mạn và nó không liên quan đến việc tiêu tốn nhiều tiền hay thậm chí là mở lời.
Trong những ngày trước khi tìm hiểu bao gồm đi chơi và đi uống, tìm hiểu là một nỗ lực mang tính hình thức và nghiêm túc. Các biểu tượng được sử dụng để bày tỏ cảm xúc và suy nghĩ được coi là quá đặc biệt so với việc nói chuyện đơn thuần. Trong thời đại Victorian, cả một ngôn ngữ lãng mạn đã phát triển xung quanh việc tặng và nhận hoa. Tất cả mọi thứ từ loại và kích cỡ của hoa cho đến cách nó được gói hoặc tặng đều truyền tải các tầng ý nghĩa và truyền đạt cảm xúc và ý định của một quý ông. Mỗi bó hoa ẩn chứa một thông điệp bí mật để quý cô háo hức hiểu và nghĩ về nó không ngừng.
Ngày nay, việc tặng hoa đã trở thành một điều hơi sáo rỗng. Làm sống lại truyền thống lãng mạn thời Victoria này sẽ truyền cho hành động này sức sống và sự lãng mạn mới, đồng thời mang lại sự tinh tế, bí ẩn và thú vị của việc tìm hiểu nhau. Người phụ nữ của bạn sẽ ngạc nhiên rằng bạn đã dành nhiều suy nghĩ về việc lựa chọn hoa hơn là lấy một bó hoa ra khỏi giỏ ở Wal-Mart. Bạn sẽ trở thành một quý ông thực sự và một người lãng mạn. Nó có thể trở thành một cách thể hiện tình yêu tuyệt vời mà cả hai bạn sẽ thích. Nghiêm túc mà nói, phụ nữ rất thích những việc này.
Tất nhiên, ngay cả phụ nữ ngày nay cũng đã quên ý nghĩa của hoa. Vì vậy, hãy mua cho người phụ nữ của bạn một cuốn từ điển về hoa. Và giữ một bản cho chính mình (điều quan trọng là cả hai bạn phải sử dụng cùng một tài liệu tham khảo, vì ý nghĩa không bao giờ được cố định và đôi khi có thể khác nhau giữa các cuốn sách). Sau đó, mỗi khi bạn tặng cô ấy một bó hoa, cô ấy có thể tìm kiếm trong cuốn sách để tìm những thông điệp bí mật mà bạn đã đặt trong những bông hoa.

More often than not, you can't just "order up a job" by responding to an online posting and have it delivered in one or two days as if you were buying whatever your heart desires on Amazon. Even as employers are hiring at a higher rate than they have in the last several years, it can often take months to work your way through the job search process. If you are a new graduate yet to receive a job offer, if you recently moved to a new locale with your spouse or partner or if you are unemployed for any other reason, you may find success in your job search by spending time volunteering at a nonprofit organization.
Both the nonprofit and for-profit worlds need people with many of the same talents. The best volunteer jobs for you to consider are ones where the experience you acquire will be applicable in the "for-pay" position you want to attain. It's often the case that once you display your passion for the organization and its mission, and have demonstrated your abilities, you'll earn strong consideration when a paying position opens up that can benefit from your talents. Even if you don't have a path to employment at the place you volunteer, by highlighting your volunteer experience on your resume, you can demonstrate that you haven't been wasting your time away staying at home watching the grass grow.
There are a few strategies you might adopt when considering at which organization you'll want to volunteer. You'll probably want to make a priority of volunteering to do what you've already done, or want to do, in the for-profit sector. Alternatively, however, it might make sense to volunteer to do something where you can turn an area of professional weakness into a new strength. Remember, as well, that nonprofit organizations maintain strong relationships with their corporate sponsors, and you might look for a volunteer position that would enable you to be that nexus point between the two. And, especially if you are recently out of school, you should look for positions that let you learn about an occupation, a field of interest or an industry.
As you try to determine what you want to volunteer to do, and where you want to do it, make three lists: your marketable skills, the roles you seek and the kinds of charitable organizations you would want to support. For example, perhaps your skills cluster around accounting, marketing or event planning. Think about how these might come in handy for organizations that need financial help figuring out how to brand the organization to attract other volunteers or donors or run anything from charitable golf tournaments to gala dinners.

Thông thường, bạn không thể chỉ "đặt một công việc" bằng cách trả lời một bài đăng trực tuyến và được giao trong một hoặc hai ngày như thể bạn đang mua bất cứ thứ gì bạn muốn trên Amazon. Ngay cả khi các nhà tuyển dụng đang tuyển dụng với tốc độ cao hơn so với những năm gần đây, bạn thường có thể mất hàng tháng để hoàn thành quá trình tìm kiếm việc làm. Nếu bạn là sinh viên mới tốt nghiệp chưa nhận được lời mời làm việc, nếu bạn vừa mới chuyển đến một địa điểm mới cùng với vợ/chồng hoặc bạn đời của mình hoặc nếu bạn thất nghiệp vì bất kỳ lý do nào khác, bạn có thể thành công trong quá trình tìm kiếm việc làm của mình bằng cách dành thời gian tình nguyện tại một tổ chức phi lợi nhuận.
Cả hai loại hình phi lợi nhuận và vì lợi nhuận đều cần những người có nhiều tài năng như nhau. Những công việc tình nguyện tốt nhất để bạn xem xét là những công việc mà kinh nghiệm bạn có được sẽ được áp dụng ở vị trí "được trả lương" mà bạn muốn đạt được. Thông thường, một khi bạn thể hiện niềm đam mê của mình đối với tổ chức và sứ mệnh của tổ chức, đồng thời thể hiện khả năng của mình, bạn sẽ nhận được sự cân nhắc mạnh mẽ khi mở ra một vị trí trả lương có thể hưởng lợi từ tài năng của bạn. Ngay cả khi bạn không có những điểm mạnh để có được công việc làm tại nơi bạn tình nguyện, bằng cách nêu bật kinh nghiệm tình nguyện của bạn trong sơ yếu lý lịch, bạn có thể chứng minh rằng bạn không lãng phí thời gian ở nhà nhìn cỏ mọc.
Có một vài chiến lược bạn có thể áp dụng khi cân nhắc xem bạn muốn tình nguyện ở tổ chức nào. Bạn có thể muốn ưu tiên tình nguyện làm những gì bạn đã làm hoặc muốn làm trong lĩnh vực vì lợi nhuận. Tuy nhiên, cũng có thể hợp lý nếu bạn tình nguyện làm một việc gì đó mà bạn có thể biến điểm yếu chuyên môn thành điểm mạnh mới. Đồng thời, hãy nhớ rằng các tổ chức phi lợi nhuận duy trì mối quan hệ bền chặt với các nhà tài trợ doanh nghiệp của họ và bạn có thể tìm kiếm một vị trí tình nguyện cho phép bạn trở thành điểm kết nối giữa hai bên. Và, đặc biệt nếu bạn mới ra trường, bạn nên tìm những vị trí cho phép bạn tìm hiểu về nghề nghiệp, lĩnh vực yêu thích hoặc ngành công nghiệp.
Khi bạn cố gắng xác định những gì bạn muốn tình nguyện làm và nơi bạn muốn làm điều đó, hãy lập ba danh sách: kỹ năng có thể được nhà tuyển dụng thấy hữu ích, vai trò bạn tìm kiếm và các loại tổ chức từ thiện mà bạn muốn hỗ trợ. Ví dụ, có lẽ các kỹ năng của bạn xoay quanh kế toán, tiếp thị hoặc lập kế hoạch sự kiện. Hãy nghĩ xem những điều này có thể hữu ích như thế nào đối với các tổ chức cần hỗ trợ tài chính để tìm cách xây dựng thương hiệu để thu hút các tình nguyện viên hoặc nhà tài trợ khác hoặc điều hành bất kỳ hoạt động nào, từ các giải đấu gôn từ thiện đến dạ tiệc.
