ANGELINA JOLIE REDUCED TO TEARS

Angelina Jolie

Sexy Angelina Jolie was reduced to tears on television on Thursday as she recalled the plight of refugee children around the world. The star, who is a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, appeared on Anderson Cooper's CNN show to highlight the cause ahead of World Refugee Day. Angelina fought back tears as she compared her own children to those she has seen living in poverty and suffering in war torn countries around the world. Telling the story of one 15-year-old boy she had met, Jolie said, "He had been shot in the back and paralyzed and his whole family had been killed, and he had nobody in the world. And yet he had this really strong, unbreakable spirit. He had lost everything. He was just so full of laughter and kindness, and he passed away. "The young people you meet, and you can't help but think, in any other situation, what an extraordinary adult they would have been. "I think of him and I can't complain about anything. He was grateful and he had nothing. And there are millions like him."

JAMIE FOXX ON HALLE BERRY KISS

Jamie Foxx

Comedian Jamie Foxx is laughing off the critics talk of his kiss with Halle Berry at a recent awards ceremony and is insisting their lip lock was a prank conjured up by the actress herself. Foxx presented Halle with the Hottest Girl on the Planet award at Spike TV's 2nd Annual Guy's Choice Awards in Los Angeles California last month, and they shocked the audience with a passionate kiss in front of the world to see. Jamie is still taken by their steamy kissing session, but insists he didn't step out of line by kissing the star, who has a 15-month-old daughter with Gabriel Aubry. Foxx explains, "It was a joke. First, I want to let everybody know that I respect Halle Berry and I respect her relationship. But after she won the Oscar, Adrien Brody came up and laid a little tongue on her. So she decided to get me back, which I didn't mind at all." Jamie also admits he was so nervous before pulling Berry's prank, he nearly backed out at the last second. He also adds, "I almost froze but I said, 'Think quick Foxx,' and I got into it ... she really gave it to me and I appreciate that."

What is hard skills? What is soft skills?

Hard skills are specific, teachable abilities that may be required in a given context, such as a job or university application.

Examples of hard skills include:

* facility with spreadsheets
* typing
* proficiency with software applications
* operating machinery
* software development
* speaking a foreign language
* calculus

Other attributes, such as the ability to empathize with others or to remain calm under pressure, are sometimes known as soft skills.

Soft skills are personal attributes that enhance an individual's interactions, job performance and career prospects. Unlike hard skills, which tend to be specific to a certain type of task or activity, soft skills are broadly applicable.

Soft skills are sometimes broken down into personal attributes, such as:

* optimism
* common sense
* responsibility
* a sense of humor
* integrity
* time-management
* motivation.

and interpersonal abilities, such as:

* empathy
* leadership
* communication
* good manners
* sociability
* the ability to teach.

It's often said that hard skills will get you an interview but you need soft skills to get (and keep) the job.
