How not to argue and beautiful Amazon Pictures

HOW TO NOT ARGUE

1. It takes two to argue. If you don't answer back, there cannot be an argument. Just say, "I don't want to talk about it now" and just softly repeat that phrase.


2. Arguments escalate with the volume of the arguers."A soft answer turns away wrath" (Proverbs 15:1). The more forceful the other person argues, the quieter your response becomes. You will see the other side tone down his/her voice in response.


3. You can't have an argument if you agree. "That's a good point." "I hadn't thought about that." "You are definitely right." Focus on where you can agree, not where you differ.


4. Admit you were wrong. No one is ever totally right. Find something to apologize for, to take responsibility for. The other person will feel better and may even own up to some mistakes of his/her own.


5. Do not accuse or attack. Don't say, "You said this!" "You did that!" Ask questions, don't make statements. And ask questions with sincerity not as a cutting sword to make an attack.


6. Remember your goal! In the case of marriage, you want harmony, peace, a good atmosphere, love. Arguments breed stress and anxiety, not peace and pleasantness. Tell yourself: I love my spouse, I love my kids, I love my money (divorces cost a lot of money).


7. Don't show disrespect to another person by saying things that are damaging, mean or not worthwhile. This especially applies to one's spouse. Remember, you chose your spouse over every other person on this planet!


8. Turn the argument into a discussion. Don't defend a position; set forth an idea or problem to be clarified. People of good will who reason together can come to a common conclusion. Listen with an open mind. Be a judge, not a lawyer! Although Lawyers are very important at the right time. Love your lawyer!!


9. Ask yourself, "Is this argument really worth it?" In the end, whatever you are arguing about may be ultimately trivial. Likely, there are other issues regarding communication, respect, responsibilities which create the angst and anger leading to arguments -- rather than discussions.

Pictures of the Amazon The biodiversity in these wet tropical forests is mind-blowing. It is home to the largest collection of living plant and animal species in the world. One in ten known species on this planet lives in the Amazon Rainforest. Amazonia is home to around 2.5 million insect species, tens of thousands of plants, and more than 2,000 birds and mammals. So far, at least 40,000 plant species, 2,200 fishes, 1,294 birds, 427 mammals, 428 amphibians, and 378 reptiles have been scientifically classified within this region. One in five of all bird and fish species live here. The Scarlet Macaws above are indigenous to the American tropics. The photographer wrote, ╲Red-and-Green Macaws DO grow on trees in the Amazon.â•   The San Rafael Falls and Quijos River are located at the foot of the highly active Reventador Volcano which rises out of the Amazon jungle east of the Andes . Based on archaeological evidence, it is believed that humans first inhabited this Amazon paradise at least 11,200 years ago. Streams of light in the Amazonian mist. Inside this rainforest, you never quite know what you might see . . . You might see a Tupi ╢red bird,â•˙ also known as the scarlet ibis, one of the most beautiful Brazilian birds, because of the color of their plumage.

Photo #6 by Free Pet Wallpapers Amazon rainforest jaguar. Bet you wonâ•˙t bump into one of these beautiful beasties in an urban jungle? Photo #7 by By Land Rover Our Planet Star of the water â•„ In the rivers of the Amazon. The photographer noted, ╲The water lily ( Victoria regia), an aquatic plant is typical of the Amazon region. Its leaves are large and circular, with folded edges, forming a sort of basin. They can reach 2 meters in diameter. The leaves of the lily pad can withstand the weight of a small child in the water without sinking.╡ According to an Indian legend about the lilypad, ╲As its flowers open at night, the Indians liken to the moon and stars. They say that once in the Amazon, there lived an Indian girl that he wanted to become a star. At night, she liked to look at the sky to admire the stars. She thought that the moon could come pick her up on Earth and take it to heaven. One night, a beautiful Indian girl leaned over the side of the river, where the moon was reflected. She was mesmerized by the image of the moon, fell into the river and disappeared into the water. The moon then turned into a lilypad. So the flower of the lily pad is called ╢star of the watersâ•˙.╡ Photo #8 by Miriam C de Souza A typical house in the Amazon.

Photo #14 by Hudson Alves The photographer wrote of the ╢Wild Boyâ•˙, ╲His eyes reflects the nostalgia of an almost extinct World. Wearing an Amazon Toucan, traditionally used only for the sacred dances and very special moments, this boy is learning from the Shamans the traditional dances of the Kotococha culture, a knowledge which is only transmitted from the shaman to the few chosen by word of mouth. Origin: Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest, Kotococha tribe.╡ Photo #15 by Gustavo MorejÃ"n Community Nova Esperança, Baré people. Cuieiras river, tributary of the Rio Negro, Amazonia , Brazil . Photo #16 by Daniel Zanini H. Folklore of Amazonas is nourished from legends and stories in which mystery and inexplicable things are always present. One example on Wikipedia includes ╲if you ask people about the lagoon of Cochaconga, they will say that it is enchanted. They say it has the ╢form of a neckâ•˙ and that with the smallest noise provoked by an animal or the scream of a person, there will be a tremendous thunderstorm in which an enormous monster will appear in the shape of cow. This monster will become mad with the strangers. Thatâ•˙s why, whoever passes by this remote place, does it with maximum precautions for not altering the local silence.╡ Photo #17 by NewWorldReview Aerial roots of Red Mangrove on an Amazonian river.

Photo #20 by Hudson Alves A great of deal of travel along Amazônia is by water. That may be due to the abundance of waterways. Photo #21 by Daniel Zanini H. Or perhaps travel by river may simply be easier than the adventure of trying to travel muddy Amazonia roads? Here you donâ•˙t get stuck in traffic, you just get stuck.Photo #22 by J.Gil Photography Amazon Rainforest, seen from the Alto Madre de Dios river, in Peru . Before 1960, access to the forestâ•˙s interior was restricted and the Amazon jungle remained mostly intact. During the 1960s, farms were established based on crop cultivation and the slash and burn method. Deforestation was so considerable that the areas which were cleared of forest were visible to the naked eye from outer space. Photo #23 by Martin St-Amant Strong drought in the Amazon rainforest. In 2005, parts of the Amazon basin experienced the worst drought in one hundred years. In 2010 the Amazon rainforest experienced another horrific drought, in some ways more extreme than in 2005. In a typical year the Amazon absorbs 1.5 gigatons of carbon dioxide; during 2005 instead 5 gigatons were released and in 2010 8 gigatons were released. Photo #24 by Hudson Alves Just as there can be droughts, the rivers of Amazon suffer flooding for 4 or 5 months of the year. The photographer said that on a hot day, they went ╢rock jumping.â•˙ Photo #25 by J.Gil Photography Amazonas floating village, Iquitos in the Amazon Basin .

Image taken from top of a 50 m tower for meteorological observations, and the top of vegetation canopy is typically 35 m . The image was taken within 30 minutes of a rain event, and a few white ╢cloudsâ•˙ above the canopy are indicative of rapid evaporation from wet leaves after the rain. Much of the Amazon is still unexplored, many of its indigenous plants and animals are unknown . . . perhaps even plants yet to be discovered that could cure diseases that plague the people on our planet. The leaves and branches of the rainforest are so dense that it creates a ╲roof╡ that does not allow the sunlight to reach the ground. The ground remains dark, damp and waiting for discovery.
