13.The Best Ways to Offer Support and EncouragementWhether it is a friend,family member,or coworker,at some time or another somebody will need support and encouragement.This could be theresult of a disappointing change in life,a health change or other similar challenges.(36)EEven if you do not think that you have the ability to offer the proper support and encouragement,your willingness to be there and to listen may be enough.
Each situation is different,and each would require different levels of both support and encouragement.(37)GHelping keep up someone's spirits when they are feeling helpless just by letting them know you are there,can make a serious difference in their lives.
(38)BFor people in this situation,often a telephone call,or dropping in to say"hell"is more than enough.You may not feel that you are doing much of anything,but to the person who is feeling isolated the effort you take to stop and see them,or call them can make a big difference.For someone who has recently lost a job,you may be able to offer support by helping them network effectively.Or,you may be able to help them craft a new resume,apply for benefits,or a number of other"small"things that may seem insignificant to you,but to them can be a very significant event.
(39)DHowever,if you let them know that you are there for them,and make it a point to check in with them regularly,they may soon feel more comfortable and share them with you.Take for example a person who is suffering with depression.
(40)AThey may not be willing to admit that there is something wrong.However,if you trust your instincts(直觉) and take a little extra care to support and encourage them even in little ways,you can make a huge difference in their overall outlook.
A.You know that there is something wrong.
B.All too often,people feel isolated and do not know where to turn.
C.So you may need support and encouragement to pull through.
D.You may not always understand all of the issues going on in someone's life.
E.In such cases,it is natural for you to reach out and offer your support and encouragement.
F.You know better than anyone the best ways to support and encourage someone who is going through a difficult time.
G.The support you offer could be as simple as helping with simple household tasks,running errands(跑腿儿),or even being available for telephone calls.

4Hotels That Will Make Your Life Easier BY JOHN BRANDON For the business traveler who is all about efficiency:Check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum of trouble. When you are pressed for time on a business trip,nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process.On your next trip,try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process. 1.Yotel New York The self-service kiosks at this high-tech New York hotel work just like the ones you'd see at an airport.There are just five-steps to register and obtain your card key.There is even a robotic luggage bellboy.You tap in the number of bags you are carrying and sizes,then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker (say,for a day trip).This also speeds up the check-in process if the first thing you need to do,like me,is head to a series of meetings. 2.Marriott Detroit Airport Another option for business travelers in a hurry:Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325hotels this year,including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel.(I've tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) Here is the basic idea:you download the iphone or Android app.The night before,you can"check-in"virtually.When you arrive,you get an alert that the room is ready and your key,which is already tied to your reservation,is waiting for you at the desk. 3.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works.Like the Yotel,the kiosk asks you to insert your credit card,similar to an airport terminal.The whole process took about three minutes,when I left,I was equally impressed with the fast check-out.An agent meets you in the lobby with an ipad and asks for an email to use for a receipt.The big advantage:you never have to wait in line. 4.Radisson:LaCrosse The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster,at a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin,you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode by email or text.When you get the kiosk,you scan the barcode to get your key without any other steps required.It's super fast.You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City,Seattle,and Phoenix as well. |
