Are you in love with your best friend? Some facts to keep in mind!

It is a very natural process when the companionship and closeness you share with your best friend, turns into a deeper emotion. Falling in love with one’s best friend might not be what one has in mind, initially. But when you share a loving bond with someone who understands you well, it is not surprising when you start developing feelings of love for that person. It is actually a more normal transition than we think and might happen to anybody.

There are several things which lead to a situation of love between two best friends. Firstly the bond which they share is a strong one, filled with camaraderie and affection. You share your deepest thoughts and feelings with your best friend, tell them secrets and keep their secrets, laugh and cry with them and you can be yourself around them. When you have so much of emotions floating around, the wind might suddenly turn and you might find yourself in love. But just as there are pros and cons to all situations, there are similar ratios which come into play when you fall in love with your best friend too. Here is a look at some of the things you need to weigh before going down that road.    

Employee motivation and retention

In today’s competitive world, retention of talented and experienced employees is one of the most challenging as well as important tasks, in a corporate. Companies spend a lot of money in recruiting, training and cultivating their talent pool and it is a great blow to them, when the same talent pool starts dwindling due to better prospects elsewhere.

So the aim should be to keep the interest of the employees alive by giving them new and challenging tasks and also improving their skill-sets. Another very important lookout while trying to retain employees is their benefits and perks, both in cash and kind. The highest attrition is found to be due to a better pay and incentive structure which competitors use to draw out the best people.

In order to motivate the staff to give their best and also to continue with the current job, the management and human resources need to look at drawing out different monetary and non-monetary schemes for their employees.

Sex with your ex - is it a good idea?

*Statistics reveal that a significant percentage of separated and divorced partners tend to share their beds again. It might sound unrealistic and weird when you're imagining  throwing your partner out, when murder is much closer to your mind than sex, but the numbers prove that there are high chances of you having sex with your ex.

When we share a deep bond with someone special in our lives, the connection remains alive to some extent even after we break off. We still feel an attraction and an affinity towards our ex-lovers and the temptation to become intimate with them is sometimes irresistible. Many times we find ourselves in situations where we are able to relive our pasts and that familiarity draws us closer to our ex-partners. And even though we might not have planned on getting intimate, we might end up walking the past lanes again.

Sex with our exes is a more common phenomenon than we think, and has often caught people unawares.  While it might be alright to be physically intimate if you are planning to re-work on your relationship and trying to give it another shot. But if that is not the case and you are still getting tempted to “do it” with your ex, then you might want to consider a few things first before going down that lane.

Dump your girlfriend: Know when to exit

Times have changed and the acts of cheating, infidelity, two-timing and ditching; which were considered to be a man’s domain; are now increasingly utilized by the female of the species. They are happy to dump their partners, boyfriends and husbands over small excuses without bothering to feel guilty or ashamed. Unfortunately it has been the men who taught them the rules and now the ladies are an expert at playing and winning in the game.
