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.
Treat people with kindness- your family, friends, acquaintances and even strangers.
That stranger may turn out to be an 'angel'.

3. Don't be quick to judge.
What you saw or heard about that person may not be enough for you to conclude.
There's usually more to it than meets the eye.
You may be wrong; just hold your peace.

4. Don't condemn.
No matter how deplorable or contemptible someone's case may be.
You are not the standard; everybody needs Grace.

5. Be forgiving.
Being forgiving is a choice, not a talent.
Unforgiveness is like swallowing poison and expecting the other person to die.
It may be hard, but for your own good, always choose to forgive.
Be forgiving, so that you too can be forgiven.

6. Be a giver.
You directly or indirectly make life easier for someone when you give.
Being a giver has nothing to do with having plenty money. It's about being giving-minded.
Whatever you give comes back to you in multiple folds.
Always take advantage of opportunities to give.

Passwords and Keys

Consider a scenario where you had to quickly rush home from work to get an important file, only for you to get to your doorstep and realise that you're not with the key. Gosh! You can even see the file on the table through the window, but you can't get in to pick it up. It's not because the door cannot be opened, but because you don't have what will open it. When I was a little boy many years ago, I entered the wrong password repeatedly on my brother's phone, until the SIM was blocked. It's not because it's impossible to gain access to the phone, but because I didn't know what will give me access to it. Now this is my point: Everything has   a key! Whatever it is you desire to acquire, has a password! In my high school and college days, I never believed a subject or course was hard, even if it appears to be so. Hence, if I did not get an A in a course, I do not blame it on the hardness of the course, but on myself. It's either because I was not ...

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!
