Babudom Bad news have to be broken with empathy and emotional calm. there should be no panic or excitement while doing so. Your calmness will help the person to whom you are breaking the news.

Babudom It is not easy to judge a person who takes this extreme step. No one knows what was going on inside his mind. But try not to let this overtake your thought processes. It is important to retain your own equilibrium in this situation. Take care

Babudom I have made only a dollar, but I have no referrals also. I believe that is the best way to make money. Is it better to give a lot of short answers, or better to give a few will thought of answers ? Any suggestions ?
