Tony Robbins, an American author, quotes, “To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others” (BrainyQuote 1). Communication is an everyday thing that connects us with people from all over. It’s necessary to be open-minded to other cultures and their way of communication. It’s the only way harmonious tunes can be played in sync around the world. How can we truly be other-oriented
I watch this TED talk video called the art of misdirection and the filmed occurred in 2013. The filmed was about how Apollo Robbins shows the audience by stealing their attention through a distraction. The human mind is tremendously important for people to get easily distracted, even though the object is right in front of us. At the beginning of his talk, he told the audience to close their eyes and inquire them what was he wearing. He was wearing a purple shirt, black and purple tie, and a black
I participated in a series of Self-Assessments by Robbins and Judge (2008) to be conscious of my personality, to recognize how I work with others, and to figure out life in organizations. Organizational behavior is a dynamic force of research, advancing toward enriching and enhancing the workforce. First, I must understand myself toward becoming an effective employee, co-worker, or manager. As a result, I am directed toward the advancement of the knowledge of these discoveries.

The Overachievers by Alexandra Robbins is a non- fiction book that follows the lives of nine high school/ college overachieving students. On the outside they look healthy, happy, and perfect, but upon closer look the reader realizes just how manic their lives and the lives of many other high scholars are. It is no secret that high school and college has become more competitive, but the public doesn’t realize just out of control this world is. “Overachieverism” has become a way of life, a social norm
The work is composed by Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins in the year of 1968. It is originally written as a rhythmic music game for children and clients who are hearing impaired. The piece is a rhythmic composition, which includes parts for vocal, piano and drum. Between parts, there are structured interplay to provide interaction between therapists and clients.

his audiences, Robbins can be held responsible for the industry’s serge in popularity over a short amount of time. It can be said by many that Robbins took a fresh approach to choreography to introduce to the world with a more energetic and dynamic performance to display. Robbins creative work elevated the role of dance in musical theatre, which was claimed to be the industry’s ‘Golden Era’.

Overachievers, by Alexandra Robbins, is an exposé about the lives of driven high school students at Walt Whitman High School in Maryland. Throughout the book Robbins argues the point that college admission expectations have made high school a very cut-throat environment, leading students who try to meet these expectations to have deteriorating mental and physical health.

There is no a set procedure or pre-designed format for Nordoff-Robbins music therapy. In sessions with clients, the therapists need to continue assessing the needs of clients and adjust the program in time. For example, some clients need to have a clear rhythm and dissonance to get immediate stimulus while some clients need to have soothing and slow music to get into a relaxing comfortable space so they can be interacted with.

wisdom to someone unaware of the process to OF becoming wise, one may say that wisdom is knowing all there is to know about life; another may say that wisdom is having ultimate knowledge and insight through experience.
