Some Vital Principles on Dealing Successfully With People

The greater part of instruction is being reminded of what you already know- Greek Philosopher, Plato. 1. Be yourself, regardless of whom you're dealing with. Don't shout back at her because she shouted at you. Be the calm person that you are. Don't say "he refused to help me the other day, so I won't help him too". Be the kind person that you are. Don't be the mirror image of the other person. 2. Be merciful. When you think you're helping others, you're helping yourself.

Seek Knowledge

Knowledge, they say, is power. The more you know about life, the better your life becomes. No doubt, to a large extent, you have come this far in life because of what you know. But you could have gone farther than this if you knew better. Not 'knowing', may be costly. It may lead to painfully saying "had I known". "Don't wish things were better, wish you were better."- Jim Rohn Let's keep devouring those books, attending those seminars and listening to those mentors. Seek knowledge, and more importantly, apply it!
