Secret to understanding people
Everyone wants to feel important.
The Important Things
Don’t fall into the triviality trap. In making speeches, solving problems, counseling employees, think of those things that really matter, things that make the difference. Don’t become submerged under surface issues. Concentrate on important things.
Focus on the Big Objective.
Think strategy first, the overall aim and purpose.
Lose the battle, but win the war.
In sales, who cares you are right or wrong. The objective is to get the sale.
In relationships, its about happiness, peace and tranquility, not winning arguments.
in working with colleagues and employees, its about developing their full potentials, not making an issue out of their trivial and minor errors.
In life, ask yourself constantly, is this really important? The objective is to live a good life and add value to the world.
How to deal with quarrels
When something’s about to happen, ask yourself: Is it really important?
Is it really important for me to get all worked up over this?
Practice adding value
“See what can be, not just what is.”
Look at things not as they are, but as they can be. Visualization adds value to everything. A big thinker always visualizes what can be done in the future. He isn’t stuck with the present.
Positive words affect how big we think
“Where success is concerned, people are not measured in inches or pounds or college degrees, or family background; they are measured by the size of their thinking.”
– Magic of Thinking Big
