I was talking to an Indian friend in grad school when he explained why schools in India were better than those in the U.S. He said it had to do with how our kids learned the alphabet with a song. He learned it by memory forward and backwa

The best technique I ever learned was to say 'Mr. Smith Please' instead of 'May I speak to Mr. Smith please?'. The first sounds more confident and is a little devious (the receptionist often thinks you are a friend, coworker, or important
