How To Improve Your Mathematics
We have received many requests from our members for tips on how to improve Mathematics and English. In this first part, we will offer some tips on how to improve a subject that some love while others hate – Mathematics.
1. If You Hate Mathematics, Don't!
Like all subjects, you cannot master Mathematics if you already hate it.
"But I really hate it!" some students may say.
To these students, we ask you, "How many days do you get by without using Mathematics in your lives?"
Each morning when you wake up, you look at your clock or watch to read the time. You probably learn how to read clocks from your Mathematics teacher in Primary 1 or 2.
You reach the bus stop and prepare your bus-fare. During recess time, you go to the canteen and pay for some food items. You probably learn how to count, add and subtract money from your Mathematics teacher in Primary 2 or 3.
Back in class, your teacher asks you to form groups of four to discuss some homework. You probably learn how to count from your Mathematics teacher in kindergarten or Primary 1.
We can go on and on, but you get the point. The point is that Mathematics is part of our life and there is no way you can run away from it. So if you do not like Mathematics, you will suffer.
Hey, the least you can do is learn to accept Mathematics. Like it or not, it is a compulsory subject in primary and secondary schools.
2. Mathematics Is Not A Dead Subject!
Some students may like Mathematics but have difficulties learning it. The problem may be because these students do not realise that Mathematics is not a dead subject. You cannot learn Mathematics simply by trying to memorise it. You have to understand the basic Mathematics concepts, "see the pattern", and apply them.
For example, if your Mathematics teacher has taught you that 4 + 4 = 8, then you must realise that $4 + $4 = $8, 4 kg + 4 kg = 8 kg, 4 cm + 4 cm = 8 cm, and so on so forth.
But that's not all. Once you have understood the basic Mathematics concepts, you cannot just sit there and do nothing about it. You have to try Mathematics sums and problems, and as many as possible. Mathematics is a practice subject. The more you practise, the better you will be at it. This is especially true for the more difficult Mathematics topics, such as ratios, percentages and algebra.
Apart from that, you must also always try to solve the same type of Mathematics sums and problems using different approaches. For example, there are many ways to solve 39 + 4. You can either use the "count on" strategy, the "add the ones then add the tens" strategy, the "add 1 to 39 to make 40 and subtract 1 from 4" strategy, and more.
The more approaches you try to solve the same Mathematics sums and problems, the better your Mathematics problem-solving skills will be.
3. Learn Mathematics By Examples!
Sometimes, you may run into difficult Mathematics sums and problems. If you cannot solve them, always approach someone for help, such as your Mathematics teacher or tutor, and your classmates.
You can also get a good assessment book or guide book that offers plenty of worked examples. By learning from worked examples, you will begin to see the pattern in solving certain types of problem sums. Go through these worked examples carefully and understand how and why they are solved using the methods shown. Then try to solve the Mathematics problem on your own without looking at the method shown.
After that, try other similar Mathematics problems and see if you can also solve them using the same method. Where possible, find out if there are other ways of solving the same Mathematics problems too.
4. Try Challenging Mathematics Problems!
If you are already very good in Mathematics, then trying many more of the simple Mathematics sums and problems will not help you become better, nor will it be challenging for you. You should consider trying more difficult and challenging Mathematics problems that require more than just elementary Mathematics skills to solve. The pleasure of being able to solve a very difficult or challenging Mathematics problem is immeasurable and you can only understand how it feels like when you do that.
However, beware of books that claim to contain challenging problems when they actually do not.
So there you have it. The way to learn and master Mathematics is to like it, understand it, practise it and attempt challenging Mathematics problems!

A White House petition gathering force calls for citizenship to be stripped and exile for anyone who signs a petition in favor of a state's secession.
"Mr. President, please sign an executive order such that each American citizen who signed a petition from any state to secede from the USA shall have their citizenship stripped and be peacefully deported," the full petition reads.
The title of the petition is, "WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO: Strip the Citizenship from Everyone who Signed a Petition to Secede and Exile Them."
As of this writing, 2,205 have signed the petition; 22,795 more signatures are needed for the issue to be addressed by the White House.

No kidding.
No one has the right to demand punishment for a citizen who exercises their right to petition the government for redress of grievances.
There is going to be fraud in this issue too.
That's right! Think about this-Conservatives should not be conceding-we believe in America and the Constitution. Many of us swore an oath to defend it, then fought in foreign wars. Liberals are who should leave, they don't like it here anyway. If we didn't work, liberals would starve.
EXACTLY! So why is Obama the president then? Sad but true. Treason is what's vogue now.... but not if your a conservative... even when we do things the right way.
Exactly Jean!
Yeah right! They can't deport actual "Illegal Aliens" and they want to deport 2/3'rds the country? LOL....
Scott! ha,ha,... Right! And.....don't forget the Americans who may be up in the "international space station!" Maybe they wanted to vote on some of these things? OH!! That's right!! Obama gave the keys to Russia, and our Astronauts now have to stick out their thumbs for a lift! What about their absentee ballots?
No, they will just swap out all us tax paying citizen for all the illegals... that is their goal anyway, isn't it?
Some people who have read about this, said, "If Obama wants to pay my passage to Australia, or some country that is still free, that is fine with me".
New Zealand is my choice (I hate deadly Defnit-Kill spiders), but ... anyway, Australia will do.

The Matchless Grace of God
O the matchless grace of God!
What is it?
Who can describe it?
Let a poor worm venture to drop a hint or two upon it. It is the glorious, rich teeming out of the free favour of God the Father in election and its glorious bearings; of God the Son in redemption, and all he is and has, and has done for his spouse, the church of God; of God the Spirit in his quickening, enlightening, teaching, sealing, anointing, and sanctifying power.
Every act of the eternal Trinity, from the first contrivance of the plan of salvation to the full consummation of it in glory, when and where the whole church shall be with Christ and like him, is all of the rich free favour and sovereign grace of God the eternal Trinity.
By William Gadsby

Santa Claus is coming to town chords
As a kid I grew up listening to Christmas songs all year round, I don't quite know what it was, but there was just something about them that I could never get enough of. I'm not sure if it was the fact that it would make me happy or because I was just always excited for Christmas. One of my all-time favourite songs will always be "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town", I think almost everyone in North America has heard the song before and I know in many other parts of the world they have as well. All the song really talks about is how Santa is on his way and we should prepare ourselves and be ready. The song was originally written by two friends by the names of John Fredrick Coots and Haben Gillespie. The song was first sung in November 1934 on Eddie Cantor's radio show. It became an instant hit and sold hundreds of thousands of copies just after few days.
What makes this song so great is that many contemporary artists have actually recorded their and preformed their own versions of the song. Famous rock and roll superstar Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band also preformed their version live on stage on numerous occasions while on tour in the weeks leading to Christmas. They would dress up as Santa Clause himself and bring joy to the faces of thousands of adults singing along with them. Many other artists like Justin Beiber and Mariah Carey have also made their own unique versions of the song. The song has been such an inspiration to the lives of so many people that there was even a 50 minute movie produced just based on the song. The movie shows visuals of what the song stands for. It shows how excited and well behaved kids get before Christmas to prepare for Santa Clauses appearance and arrival.

Lets educate ourselves!
As a mental health advocate I want to learn, read, and soak in everything there is to know about mental health conditions. Understanding and knowledge are important steps toward empowerment.
Serious mental health conditions affect millions of people across the United States and the entire world. It is estimated that 26.2% of Americans ages 18 and older—about one in four adults—suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.The more engaged people become and the more they learn about their mental health condition, the more prepared they will be to develop a comprehensive treatment plan and begin the lifelong process of mental health recovery.
Remember, information is always evolving. There's a lot of information out there, so it's helpful to keep up with the latest information and research from credible sources. You can check out my Mental Health Resources page to find more credible information and support from websites I love.

Monkey mystery baffles Delhi
Police in the Indian capital Delhi are still on the trail of a mysterious creature which has allegedly attacked the city's residents.
The creature, which is described as part man, part monkey, has apparently struck in 65 locations and has led to the deaths of at least two people.
Police say they have been flooded with panic calls, not all of which are genuine.
"Altogether we received about 100 distress calls but only 16 attacks could be verified," Suresh Roy, the deputy commissioner of police, said on Thursday.
"Eighteen people have been injured since last night. We cannot yet say who, or what, is causing these attacks," he said.
'Nocturnal beast'
The attacks have taken place at night, and have targeted people sleeping on the roofs of their houses to escape the summer heat.
But their job has been made harder with the wildly varying descriptions of the creature. It is said to be anything between a tiny man to a tall beast - some say with metal claws.
"When I grabbed it, it turned into a cat with glowing eyes," one resident, who claimed to have encountered the creature, said.
"It looks like a monkey and has green lights as eyes and springs on its feet. It has a huge metallic silver hand which glows in the dark," he said.
Rumours dismissed
The event has made the front-pages of the capital's daily newspapers, which have even published police sketches of the mysterious creature.
"I am 120% sure they are humans," primatologist Iqbal Malick told the AFP news agency.
"These are most definitely pranksters who are getting kicks our of their jokes and, in the process, giving monkeys a bad name," she said.
Delhi is home to the rhesus monkey which has become a menace in recent times, attacking bureaucrats in government ministries and tearing files and documents.

The Hargrave Eye Center's latest post:
The days are getting shorter, temperatures are dropping, and certain parts of the country have already seen their first snowfall. As these signs of winter become more and more frequent and the new season finally rolls around, people will start reaching into their closets to bundle up anytime they need to go outside. Hats, scarves, mittens, and heavy winter coats are classic choices for winter weather, but these accessories leave one critical area unprotected: the eyes. There are a number of factors that can cause irritation or damage to the eyes during the winter months, so take a look at this list of ways you can protect your eyes this winter.
Keep Your Eyes Moist
Turning up the heat in your home or sitting by the fire will keep you warm when it gets cold outside, but it will also lead to dryness and irritation in your eyes. This will particularly affect sufferers of chronic dry eye, a condition that prevents the body from properly producing tears. Try to keep your exposure to a minimum by sitting or standing farther from heat sources, and use artificial tears and/or a humidifier to soothe dryness.
Wear UV Sunglasses and Goggles
Just because temperatures have dropped doesn't mean your eyes aren't susceptible to sun damage during the winter. In fact, snow reflects 80% of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, so you could be at risk from UV rays striking your eyes from every angle. The effects are amplified at higher altitudes, so activities like skiing, snowboarding, or hiking during the winter come with additional risk. Protect yourself by wearing sunglasses that reflect 99 to 100% of UV light for whenever you go outside.
Also, during the winter, there are opportunities for slush, ice, and other debris to get into the eye during outdoor activities. Although sunglasses will provide some defense against foreign objects like these, wear goggles for optimal protection.
Try to Limit Your Screen Time
Spending snow days inside watching movies or browsing the web can be fun, but too much of it can be harmful to your eyes. Staring at screens that are close to your face can cause your eyes to become dry and irritated, so make sure you take regular breaks from the computer or TV.
Avoid Touching Your Eyes
You may want to rub your eyes if they become dry or irritated, but this may only aggravate your condition. Additionally, touching your eyes may allow the bacteria on your hands to get into your eyes, which can lead to infection. Refrain from touching your eyes, and use eyedrops or wash them to relieve any irritation.

I got "The Philosopher." What did you get?
News broke today that Jonathan Nolan, brother of acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan, is planning to adapt Asimov's classic Foundation series for HBO.
Prepare ye for the coming of The Mule.
Marin County author Isabel Allende is among 19 people to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country's highest non-military honor, the White House announced Monday.
This list is a partial one, a mere sampling from the titles of the books that I took from my grandmother's apartment and added to my own library on the shelves of my home in New York. This is the list of the place where my List, the list of a boy born in 1976 and still alive, overlaps with my grandmother's List, the list of a girl born in 1915 and who died in 2010; despite our differences, we share a set of books that neither of us have ever read but both of us feel like we should and hope that we will read someday, somehow.
On keeping lists and a lifetime of reading.
Did you know that Book Riot has a YouTube channel? We do. It's new and we are having fun with it. Check it out here.

Custodial Supervisor: Tish Hiott
Conejo Valley Unified School District practices a modified site-based management organizational structure. All custodians are supervised by a department head or school principal, and therefore, are not subject to District Office direction for everyday operations. This "decentralized" program has worked very well in many areas, and gives site-based managers the authority to tailor each custodial program to the specific needs of each site. However, because of the complexities of modern custodial programs coupled with the broad range of responsibilities and heavy work load assigned to site managers, many have found it impossible to keep up to date on important issues that are critical to the administration of an effective custodial program. Specific areas include:
Beginning 1999, the District has sponsored an Annual Custodial In-Service designed to address safety, cleaning quality and product issues at all District facilities. The Annual In-Services have been highly successful in demonstrating that the implementation of new processes and cleaning techniques could bring about significant improvement in the level of safety, cleanliness, and efficiency of each school sites' custodial operations program.

Once the province of survivalists on the fringes of society, prepping has "gone mainstream" within the past decade. There are television shows dedicated to following the exploits of individual preppers and prepper groups—I formerly reviewed Doomsday Preppers for PJ Media, and have been to Doomsday Castle—and you can now find many prepper-oriented items in both sporting goods stores and big-box retailers.
It's now quite common, as are prepping groups.
55-year-old Marty Winters belongs to a Florida prepping group called "River Otter Preppers," which is stockpiling food, survival supplies, knowledge, and weapons against possible disaster scenarios is on the run from the FBI this morning, allegedly for preparing to fight government agents after the Rapture written about in the Bible's New Testament Book of Revelation.
Apparently, the Feds also fear the end is neigh, as they acted on a tip and sent an undercover informant into the group for months, which resulted in a grand jury indictment for planning to build crude shotgun shell boobytraps:
The destructive devices — metal tubes designed to fire 12-gauge shotgun shells — were intended to function as booby traps, according to a 24-page search warrant affidavit that lays out the government's case.
Winters and the River Otter Preppers "are preparing for an end-of-times event as prophesied by the Book of Revelations in the Bible which he believes will occur in the near future," the affidavit states, "which will require individuals to rely on themselves for food and protection from other individuals and the federal government."
Last October, Winters told an FBI undercover employee that he had spent $200,000 on his preparations and that he had buried 60 AR-15 firearms in four barrels in the ground, the record states. They toured the neighborhood, and Winters pointed out bunkers that he keeps on three east Hillsborough County properties, two on Williams Boulevard and one on Spring Road.
He talked about shooting government agents in the back, first snagging them with fishhooks that would pop out of air-pressured pipes mounted on the eaves of porches. "Winters will then shoot the agents while they are entangled in the hooks," Special Agent Ronald Monaco wrote in the affidavit.
An unidentified FBI employee spent months in talks with Winters and wrote that he also talked of shooting tanks of propane gas to kill government agents as they entered his property.
Winters was either tipped off about the FBI raid or simply had luck on his side, and managed to escape the FBI team sent in to arrest him. He is now on the run, a wanted man.
But Winters is wanted for what, precisely?

The SKA SA project seeks to encourage our best young people to pursue careers in science and technology, and to create expertise in cutting-edge technologies.
Youngsters living in towns close to the SKA site are benefitting from training opportunities that have come with the project, as well as potential jobs.
Since 2011, 40 young people in the Northern Cape have been awarded bursaries aimed at equipping them with the professional skills that will make it possible for them to work for SKA South Africa and in the industry.
The programme is aimed at building the required capacity for the telescope and operations team working with the MeerKAT telescope.
Currently, 19 students supported by SKA South Africa are completing their N1, N2 and N3 courses at Technical Vocational Education and Training colleges (previously known as FET colleges) in Kimberley and Bloemfontein. An additional 10 students are being supported for their technical training.
Five of the bursary holders are already employed full-time with SKA South Africa and by 2017, more bursary holders will have potentially found employment within the organisation. Their trades range from fitting and turning to diesel mechanics, boilermaking, instrumentation and control, and electronics.
SKA South Africa partnered with the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation, JMC Technical, Adcorp and other training centres where the students complete their third and fourth stages of qualification.
The courses are structured into a four-month bridging course, followed by another eight months of theory, divided into four months of a National Certificate 1 course and another four months for a National Certificate 2 course. This is followed by eight months of practical training at a SETA-approved training centre plus 18 to 24 months of on-the-job training.
A month of pre-trade qualification followed by one day of trade testing completes the rigorous training to qualify as an artisan.
In brief
SKA SA sponsors five matric learners' bursaries to study science and engineering-related fields from 2016. The learners achieved matric exemptions in maths and science, a first for Carnarvon High School.
SKA SA has awarded more than 40 student bursaries since 2011.
SKA SA has supported more than 116 Masters students and 52 PhD students as well as funded six research chairs at South African universities.
SKA SA bursaries have supported the training of seven young people, who are now completing their training at the Losberg site, 90 kilometres outside Carnarvon and will start work in industry once their training is completed. They will work as electricians, fitters and turners; and in instrumentation and control.
SKA SA has employed four local young people from Carnarvon as interns after they have received training in optical fibre technology.
So far, SKA SA has spent more than R2.5 million on laptops, training and connectivity, with 366 new computers with state-of-the-art software being donated to schools and the library in Carnarvon.
The SKA SA supports the training of young people in various trades ranging from fitting and turning to diesel mechanics, boilermaking, instrumentation and control, and electronics.
SKA SA apprentices engaged in the construction of the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionisation Array radio telescope (HERA) at the Losberg premises outside Carnarvon.
The SKA SA have created jobs in several areas in the Northern Cape.

CFP® certification indicates to the public your ability to provide financial planning unsupervised, and CFP Board requires you to have 6,000 hours of professional experience related to the financial planning process, or 4,000 hours of Apprenticeship experience that meets additional requirements.
Are you ready to report experience? Log into your CFP Board account, and click on the Experience section within the CFP® Certification Tracker. You will be able to review previously submitted entries, update hours for your current position, and enter new experience.
If you have already reported experience, open your Experience Profile to review past entries and confirm your remaining hours balance. Please note that once your experience requirement is met, your account will show a "Provisionally Accepted" status. After final CFP® exam results are released verifying you successfully passed the exam, the "Provisionally Accepted" status will change to "Accepted," and an email notification will be sent with instructions guiding your through the next step of the certification process.
There are many ways to attain the experience required for CFP® certification. Hear some CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals talk about their path to CFP® certification in this new video.
Updated August 2018
Experience can be reported to CFP Board at any time through the online Experience Reporting Profile available in your CFP Board account by clicking on the Experience section of the CFP® Certification Tracker.
Full-time qualifying activities and responsibilities, or the equivalent 6,000 hours of qualifying experience, must satisfy a two-part requirement.
PART 1: Experience must fall within one or more of the seven primary elements of the personal financial planning process:
PART 2: Experience can be satisfied through one or more of the following five ways:

Because CFP® certification indicates to the public your ability to provide financial planning without supervision, CFP Board requires you to have experience in the personal financial planning process. Qualifying experience includes activities involving the delivery of financial planning services to individual clients. Whether you engage with clients directly, supervise or support the financial planning process, teach finance-related courses, or participate in internships or the FPA Residency Program, there are many paths to completing the experience requirement. Report experience activities and responsibilities that reflect your financial planning knowledge and competencies.
For additional details, please contact the Experience Department directly at email@example.com.

Denotes an individual person who engages a practitioner and for whom professional financial services are rendered. Compensated and pro-bono experience is accepted as long as (1) there is a client, and (2) you are acting as a financial planning professional who is qualified to offer objective, integrated and comprehensive financial advice to, or for the benefit of, individuals to help them achieve their financial objectives using the financial planning process. Clients may not be immediate family members, as defined by FINRA Rule 3240. Immediate family includes parents, grandparents, mother-in-law or father-in-law, husband or wife, brother or sister, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, son-in law or daughter-in-law, children, grandchildren, cousin, aunt or uncle, or niece or nephew, and any other person whom the registered person supports, directly or indirectly, to a material extent.
All levels of supervision are acceptable if the chain of supervision eventually leads back to the financial planner/professional.
CFP Board defines Teaching as serving in the capacity as a full-time or adjunct faculty member responsible for the planning and delivery of financial planning related topics, at an accredited college or university, where instruction is equal to a minimum of 30 hours per quarter/semester.
To qualify for experience credit, a teacher must meet the following criteria:
If the institution employing the teacher is not a CFP Board registered program, teaching experience is capped at 4,000 hours.
Financial planning-related internships are eligible for credit toward the 6,000 Hour Standard Pathway. Experience is calculated at an hour-to-hour match.
Completion of the Financial Planning Association's Residency Program is eligible for credit toward the 6,000 Hour Standard Pathway. Experience is calculated at 500 hours.
Individuals who are self-employed and/or are reporting Pro Bono or Volunteer activity will require the verification of a Qualified Attester. To be a "Qualified Attester" the individual must hold one of the following certifications or licenses:

Experience must be completed within 10 years before and five years after successful completion of the CFP® exam. If the start date for an experience entry falls outside of the 10-year or five-year windows, the candidate will need to add additional experience within the appropriate timeline.
Professional experience (6,000 hours) in relevant personal financial planning activities, or Apprenticeship experience (4,000 hours) that meets additional requirements, is required to meet the Experience requirement. CFP Board calculates hours based on a 40-hour work week; hours in excess of 40 hours per week are not accepted toward the Experience requirement.
Activities that do not relate to the personal financial planning process for clients (such as time spent in corporate finance, training, practice management, marketing, software development or administrative duties) cannot be included in the reported number of experience hours.
If the Experience requirement is not met within 12 months of successful completion of the CFP® exam, candidates will be required to meet a continuing education (CE) requirement before certification.
Candidates have five years from the date the CFP® exam is passed to complete the Experience requirement. If progress has been made, but more time is needed, the Candidate has the option of submitting a Policy Exception Request Form for an extension of up to three years. The Policy Exception must be received at least 60 days in advance of the five-year deadline and candidates must enter all qualifying experience earned to date in their online Experience Profile. Candidates should allow 30 days for a response to the request.
Experience can be reported to CFP Board at any time through the online Experience Reporting Profile available in your CFP Board account by clicking on the Experience section of the CFP® Certification Tracker. Select "Add Experience" to enter information about your experience, and the system will ask you a series of simple questions to update your Experience Profile.
Current experience (with no end date) recorded in an individual's Experience Profile can be refreshed at any time. The Refresh Hours function recalculates hours from the date entered to the current date.
Candidates will enter experience or refresh hours for a current position until the required number of hours have been met. It should be presumed that the entered experience is considered "Provisionally Accepted" unless otherwise noted. Some experience types will be automatically reviewed and/or verification requested.
Once the required number of hours have been met, the candidate will have the ability to Submit entered experience. Once submitted, each experience record entered will have an updated status of Accepted, Pending Verification, Provisionally Accepted and Under Internal Review.
A status of Pending Verification indicates that CFP Board has sent a verification request to the Supervisor or Qualified Attester identified with that job experience, asking them to complete an attestation. This attestation includes verification of the position, start date, end date (if applicable), hours worked per week, and selected relevant primary elements if applicable to the job type,
Verification requests are automatically generated under these conditions:
Verifications will be handled in this manner:
Credit will be granted only for experience completed within 10 years before and five years after successful completion of the CFP® exam.

Keep Production Simple
Being on camera can be overwhelming and the last thing you need to be focusing on is if you've got your fancy equipment set up correctly. You would hate if you discovered that after this long shoot, your body was slightly out of the shot the whole time.
This is why when you are just getting started being comfortable on camera, I recommend eliminating all the stress that comes from working with equipment you are unfamiliar with.
So what can you do instead?
Use the camera that you are most familiar with using, such as your smartphone. Smartphone cameras have dramatically increased in quality in recent years and are a great starting point for shooting video.
Don't worry about setting up fancy "3-point lighting" (the most popular professional lighting technique to light a subject). Just worry about making sure there is enough light on you. You can do this by shooting your video close to a window to use natural light, using an easy to set up ring light that will illuminate your face evenly, or find light sources such as lamps around your house or office and place them slightly off camera to brighten you up.
Talk to Yourself Off Camera
Ya know when you're walking on the sidewalk next to a stranger and you hear them having a conversation with themselves? You likely do a double take and think, "Is he talking to himself?"
Well it's time you start talking to yourself!
Let me be clear. I'm not telling you to be a crazy person!
(Even though you will probably feel like one.)
I am, however, actually saying that talking to yourself will ease your nerves on camera.
Of course I recommend doing this when you are alone such as in the shower, in the car on the way to work, or talking in the mirror.
Why is this an important thing to start practicing? Well, think about it. When you are having a conversation with your friends, you are probably thinking about the conversation topic, and you are not likely thinking about what your voice sounds like. Typically we spend very little time thinking about what our voice sounds like – until we turn on a camera.
The second we turn on a camera and stand in front of it, we begin to nitpick every little thing about us, including our voice. When you get in the practice of talking to yourself you start to get used to what your voice sounds like and and this will help get rid of negative thoughts about your voice when you get on camera.
What should you talk about when talking to yourself?
Honestly, you can talk about anything. Talk about your plans for the rest of the week. Are you excited about them? Do they make you stressed? What about that email you just got; good news or bad news?
I recommend talking to yourself in the mirror after you get out of the shower. Why? Because this practice kills two birds with one stone. On one hand you are getting used to your voice and what your voice sounds like, and on the other hand you are getting used to your face and how your face moves when you talk and the facial expressions you naturally make!
It may sound silly but these are the details people critique about themselves when they get on camera.
Don't worry about being perfect.
This piece of advice is very simple, yet it is much easier said than done.
Take the pressure off of yourself by allowing yourself to mess up every once in awhile. Don't be afraid to make mistakes.
When you are not afraid of mistakes, you will find yourself making less of them because you are no longer thinking about making those mistakes. That seems a bit ironic because it is. But it's effective! Don't be afraid of mistakes and don't strive to be spotless and perfect.
In fact, we need to define what "perfect" even is.
When you define perfect as you see yourself on camera, it might be a very surface level definition. You might include details such as your looks, the camera shot, or the way you say things not being as polished as your competitor.
But the way you should start defining perfection in your videos is by asking one simple question. "Did my audience get value out of this video?" Whether it's learning a new technique, understanding how a product works, or getting to know your brand and what you do, ask yourself if the audience will receive value.
If the answer is, "Yes they did," then I would say that your video is perfect, because it's perfect for your audience.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
—John 1:5
What is dark in your life?
What challenges do you face?
What personal battles are you struggling with?
What things seem to rob you of joy?
The light of Jesus can shine on any of these.
