Top 11 Benefits Of Learning A New Language - (2)

5. Stay Smart In Touristy Areas

Being a tourist who knows how to communicate with the local language does bring a whole lot of convenience. First of all, you won’t be easily targeted as “The Tourist”, like how Johnny Depp was targeted by Angelina Jolie in the movie or being an obvious target for tourist scams.
Secondly, you have a better chance to connect with the local sellers. Sometimes they might even get you a better bargain or a recommendation to a hidden gem where only locals will know. After all, you can afford to wander off, get lost and be independent without needing to ask for help, if you really master the local language. Therefore, it gives you a more authentic experience that sets you apart from being a typical tourist.

6. Connecting With Different Culture

A surprising discovery many multilingual or bilinguals might not even realise is that they are able to build a relationship with others quite effortlessly as compared to monolinguals.
In a scenario such as when buying goods in a market, a multilingual will be able to chat with sellers of different nationalities to find out more regarding the goods he or she is planning to buy. Although it may seem to be a simple chit-chat, by speaking in one’s native language it helps to build a deeper connection. As a saying by Nelson Mandela, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart”.

7. Open Up A New Door To Your Relationship

With the cultural diversity period we are living in, more and more couples coming from different backgrounds and cultures can be seen together nowadays, and the language barrier is no longer an obstacle.
Couples who are bilingual tend to see more from their partner's point of view, or rather, they appreciate the effort they put into their communication. Even though there will be a time where they may not be able to express their point accurately in their second language, chances are, mutual understanding can still be sorted out in two languages, leading to a deeper understanding of one another in a long run.

INVESTING : Can You Borrow Money to Buy Stocks?

  It seems like an obvious move. We’re in a bull market and stocks are soaring. Interest rates are still near historic lows. If you can borrow money at a single-digit annual interest rate, you should be able to earn enough in the market to pay off the loan and earn a substantial profit. But how does that work in practice? Can you borrow money to buy stocks? And more importantly, should you? Let’s take a closer look. Yes, You Can Borrow Money to Buy Stocks The simple answer to the question is yes: you can invest borrowed money in stocks. It’s a risky strategy. It’s also quite popular, especially during bull markets. Some people have used it very effectively and made money. Others have lost, sometimes badly. That’s the simple answer, but how do you go about doing it? The decision to invest with bor rowed money comes down to comparing the cost of borrowing versus the expected investment returns… If the returns exceed the cost, then the transaction makes economic sense. How Can You Inv...

The Magnificent Obsession - Creating A Compelling Future....

GIANT GOALS PRODUCE GIANT MOTIVATION So often, people ask me, "Where do I get my energy? With all that intensity, no wonder you're so successful. I just don't have your drive; I guess  I'm not motivated. I guess I'm lazy." My usual response is, "You're not lazy! You just have impotent goals!" Frequently I get a confused look to this response, at which point I explain that my level of excitement and drive comes from my goals. Every morning when I wake up, even if I feel physically exhausted from a lack of sleep, I'll still find the drive I need because my goals are so exciting to me. They get me up early, keep me up late, and inspire me to marshal my resources and use everything I can possibly find within the sphere of my influence to bring them to fruition. The same energy and sense of mission is available to you now, but it will never be awakened  by puny goals. The first step is to develop bigger, more inspiring, more challenging ...

Today we will learn about Finance  and the keys to building lasting wealth.  Wealth  today, has become a very critical aspect of our lives.Most of the tensions in life, relationship problems and self-esteem problems is because of  lack of wealth.  People don't see  who or what you are, they see  WHAT YOU HAVE.  We are often judged by our economic status.    We fail to remember that  "Money was made for Man, and not Man for Money".   True, wealth is important, but so also are human values. You may have all the wealth in the world but you may be too old to enjoy it, or you may have a  major illness which does not allow you to enjoy your wealth. Then what use is the wealth?  When we are young, our whole life goes by working hard in our jobs to  create wealth. Then after 30 or 40 years are over we find out that the wealth needs to be maintained so we work more hard to keep our wealth and we ...
