Why information is more valuable and how to use it effectively

Importance of Information and effective usage tips

This may seem like such a basic question that you’ve never bothered to ask it, but what exactly is information?

It is so important to our modern lives, yet we don’t really understand why.

Fundamentally, information allows us to extend our experience of the World beyond the range of our five senses.

If we didn’t use information, we would only know what we directly see, hear, touch, smell or taste.
Information comes from the word “inform” – it informs us about things that we didn’t directly experience.

Power point presentation on importance of Information:

Information Is Like Water from Oscar Berg

Why information is valuable to us?

We all recognise that information is valuable – if you’ve ever paid for a newspaper or magazine, you have demonstrated this. But why – specifically – is information valuable, and why is one piece of information more valuable than another?

There are three ways information can be valuable to us….

1. It entertains us
2. It helps us make better decisions
3. It helps someone else make better decisions, and we can exchange this information for something else

Presentations are the effective tools to communicate, but how to make them simple and effective

Effective Presentation Creating Skills

As you all aware that, a good presentation will reach every corner of the audience and wins the attention.

This article will help you to understand the basic points to be considered during the power point presentation.

Effective PowerPoint Presentations

PowerPoint is now as much a part of office life as water coolers are.

Ever since digital projectors started appearing in board rooms, almost everyone seems to think that taking a few words from their talk, sticking them in bullet points, then adding some irrelevant clip-art, is going to win you a standing ovation.

Sadly, PowerPoint presentations are now a major cause of frustration for audiences, who desperately try to stay awake, as they notice the words “Slide 14 of 324″ in the corner of the screen.

Indeed, some people are so against PowerPoint that they suggest ditching it altogether. Some offices have banned it, demanding that their employees go to the effort of making speeches with handouts.

However, often the reasons behind this backlash are simply that they’ve sat through one to many terrible presentations – and are blaming the tool. There are ways to use PowerPoint effectively, but they are generally not practiced.

Here is some advice for using PowerPoint successfully.

1) Thinking of making a speech

2) Take turns with audience attention

3) Try not to use words

How to make effective presentation from Satyajeet Singh

Think of making a speech

The best presentations are actually speeches, with PowerPoint used to add supporting visual elements. When people are asked to make a speech, they spend far longer preparing than if they were asked to make a PowerPoint presentation.

Take turns with audience’s attention

Don’t expect your audience to pay attention to you and the screen at the same time.

When you are talking, and the subject you are on is not related to what is on the slide, switch the screen to black. You can do this by pressing the “B” key on your keyboard.

Conversely, when you put up a new slide, give them a few seconds to look at it before you start speaking.

Try not to use words

If you must use PowerPoint, use it as a visual aid – not a visual alternative of your presentation for people who can’t hear you.

The aim of having slides is to show people something that you can’t describe. Don’t waste ten minutes describing a new building, when a few photos will do. Don’t list the past six-months sales figures, when a simple graph with a trend-line will do.

In general, don’t use sentences and paragraphs of text in PowerPoint slides. It’s difficult to read from a screen, and you would be better handing out full-notes for them to read later.

How to improve your email writing skills with basic tips

Email Writing Skills

You may be writing personal or business mails, please remember the following basic common points to be followed while writing mails.

1) Subject Line

2) Say Hello

3) Be very careful of capital letters, punctuation, spelling and basic grammar

4)Think of who your reader is going to be 

5)The reader will also accept bad grammar in informal emails

6)Think about how direct or indirect you want to be

7)Be positive!

8)Get feedback

9)Short and Simple Sentences

10)Put your message in context

11)Focus on what they need to know

12)Use a well designed signature

1) Subject Line


This is the most important part of the e-mail. When people first check their new messages, this is what they see listed – and this is the information they have to use to decide whether your e-mail is either important or urgent.

Make sure you put a concise description of your message content here. If possible, write it in a way that means they don’t necessarily have to open the message to know what it is about.

e.g. Weekly Team Meeting moved to 3.30pm next week

2) Say Hello

3) Be very careful of capital letters, punctuation, spelling and basic grammar

While these can be tolerated in informal emails, they are very important in business emails as they are an important part of the image you create. Give yourself time to edit what you’ve written before you push that Send button. In today’s busy world, it’s very easy to send out many emails without checking them so make a conscious effort to edit.

4) Think of who your reader is going to be

Is it a colleague, a client or your boss? Should the email be informal or formal? Most Business Emails these days have a neutral tone. Note the difference between Informal and Formal:

Informal – Thanks for the email of 15 February
Formal – Thank you for your email received 15 February

Informal – Sorry, I can’t make it.
Formal – I am afraid I will not be able to attend

Informal – Could you…?
Formal – I was wondering if you could….?

Some emails to colleagues can be informal if they are friends. This is the style that is closest to speech, so there are often everyday words and conversational expressions that can be used. For instance, ‘Don’t forget’, ‘Catch you later’, ‘Cheers’.

5) The reader will also accept bad grammar in informal emails.

However, if the email is going to a client or senior colleague, bad grammar and an over-friendly style will not be acceptable.

6) Think about how direct or indirect you want to be

In some cultures it is common practice to be very direct in email correspondence. However, this can cause a problem if you’re writing to someone in another country and in a language that is not yours. They might find your directness rude and sometimes offensive.

Consider these:

Direct – I need this in half an hour.
Indirect and polite – Would it be possible to have this in half an hour?

Direct – There will be a delay
Indirect – I’m afraid there will be a slight delay.

Direct – It’s a bad idea
Indirect – To be honest, I’m not sure it would be a good idea.

By adjusting your tone, you are more likely to get a more positive response from your reader.

7) Be positive!

Look at these words: helpful, good question, agreed, together, useful, I’d be delighted, mutual, opportunity.

Now look at these: busy, crisis, failure, forget it, I can’t, it’s impossible, waste, hard

The words you use show your attitude to life so choose your words wisely.

8) Get feedback

Try and get some feedback on the emails that you write in real life. This could be from your English Teacher or someone you know whose English is better than yours.

Study the English in the emails you receive. If it is a well-written email, look carefully at some of the language used. Start your own phrase book and build a bank of phrases from the ones you receive and think would be useful in the future.

9) Short and Simple Sentences

Use short and easy sentences. Long sentences can often be difficult to read and understand. The most common mistake that I see my students making is to translate directly from their own language. This can often lead to confusing sentences. I always tell my students to use the KISS Test – Keep It Short and Simple

10) Put your message in context

Don’t expect the person you are sending the message to to remember all your previous conversations. If you’re not replying to an e-mail that they sent you, you need to make it clear what you are talking about. Use the first line to add some background information.

e.g. You may remember I spoke to you last week about the issues we were having with George’s schedule….

11) Focus on what they need to know

Don’t give any more information than they need to know to make a decision. Their first decision will be “do I need to deal with this now?” so it helps to give an indication of urgency or importance. However, avoid using the words “important” or “urgent” – as these are actually pretty meaningless on their own. If there is a deadline involved, just state the date/time they need to act by. If it is important, state the consequences of inaction.

You can use layered complexity here to keep the message short – just give them what you think they need, and offer a phone call or follow up message if this isn’t what they were after. This saves you time writing paragraphs and paragraphs covering the options in detail.

e.g. We have several of them available – our blue model costs £452.99. We have twenty available – if you want a quote on another colour, let me know which one, and I can give you more details. Alternatively, I’m in the office all afternoon if you want to give me a call to discuss.

12) Use a well designed signature

Most people spend a couple of minutes setting up their e-mail signature, then never change it again. Since your signature goes out on every e-mail you send, you can use it to offer some very useful information, including:

• When you check your messages (e.g. I check my e-mails every weekday at 10am and 3:30pm). This stops them getting annoyed when you don’t respond in three minutes.
• If you’re going to be unavailable shortly – add red text to draw their attention (e.g. Vacation: I’ll be on vacation from the 6th-19th June. Please call Mary on xxxx during this time.)
• Changes to your contact details. (e.g. Telephone Change: My new mobile number is xxxxxxxxxxx)

Don’t go overboard on this and have a 30-line signature covering all possible things they might want to know. If you think you will need more than seven lines, consider setting up a webpage somewhere with a personal FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) that you can refer them to. In your signature, just put your phone number, the URL to your page, along with any news items listed above.

What is the importance of Information and how does data helps to develop information

Data Processing and Information Engineering

Today, we would like to share one of best finding about the information engineering and how does it impact on your knowledge and decisions.

Data is the source of facts and information is a derivation of the facts.

Infogineering™ is about how to make the information you create and consume more valuable. It provides a structured approach to better handle the information you deal with – either in your personal or work life.

For example, you’ve just spent 15 minutes writing an e-mail. You’re sitting there, looking at the screen, wondering how to make it better. Infogineering gives you a series of things to do just that.
Infogineering sets out to answer three basic questions:

• What (exactly) is information?
  How is it different from data and knowledge?
• Why is information valuable?
  Why is one piece of information worth more to us than another? Why do we pay more for books than for newspapers?
• How do we make the information we create more valuable?
  What generic principles allow us to quickly and easily improve any form of information – e-mails, reports, letters, web pages, etc?

The above image depicts the brief idea about this model.

Colors and its real meaning in life - Chromotherapy

Colors are not only a delight for the eyes and soul, used skillfully they have the  powers of an unseen witch. It is proven that our body can be affected in specific ways by surrounding colors. Chromotherapy is thus considered an noninvasive alternative  treatment.

Who invented colors?

The importance of sunlight as the only source of light and heat is known from ancient times. With these properties it maintains life on earth. But the positive effects it has on us are endless, researchers are constantly preoccupied about their discovery.

Decoding and understanding some of the subtle light spectrum proprietary  is considered a great achievement of science. Therefore, chromo or cromopatia appeared as an implementation of this knowledge in the form of an alternative system of healing.

The existence of the seven colors of the spectrum in apparently colorless light of the sun can be proven when a rainbow appears or in an optical laboratory using a prism.

Free Yourself live your dreams - Failure is part of learning and we should never give up the struggle in life.

Free Yourself live your dreams

As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.


He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?

Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.

A simple difference between I have to and I want to - Inspiring Example

For many years in every morning at 10 o’clock sharp, a business woman had visited her mother in a nursing home. They were very close and she loved her very much. Sometimes she had business meetings in that time of day (10 o’clock) and her answer was always the same: “I can not, I have to visit my mother.”


Then her mother died. Shortly afterward, someone had asked the woman for a meeting at 10 o’clock. Suddenly realized that she could no longer visit her mother. And her next thought was: “Oh, if I could visit my mother once again.” From that moment I have to became I want to.

Pleasant things in life are the ones we want to do. “Today I want to go to theater” or “I want to go on vacation next week.” Things that are burdening us are the ones that need to be done. “Tomorrow I have to wake up at 6:30 to go to work” or “I have to clean up the house.”

Because perceptions hinder our thoughts and actions, try replacing I have to with I want to. Instead of saying “I have to go to work“, think of those that don’t have a job and you can say with enthusiasm “Tomorrow I want to go to work.” Instead of saying “I have to clean up“, think about how your home looks when it’s clean and then you can easily say “I want to clean up.” In time it will be easier to use I want to.

It’s amazing what a change of attitude occurs simply because of using words that do not involve constraint or obligation. You will see that by using this exercise  things that need to be done will become more simple and easy.
