Thought Corner (July 10th, 2021)

 

LOVE & GOOD MORAL VIRTUES - I may be wrong, but based on observations; I think we live in times where "love" is fast becoming strictly based on vain criteria, while sound "moral virtues" are gradually becoming extinct. 

Love has become less of an unconditional character trait, and more of a temporary emotional state. 

This ought not to be, because if this ugly trend should continue in our society, an abysmal future is unavoidable for all. 

The solution I believe is, for all influential bodies (family, the media, religious institutions, educational institutions, and governments) to greatly reward, acknowledge, celebrate, and promote selfless acts. 

THERE IS NO SCAR THAT LOVE CANNOT HEAL. 

SILENCE - I have come to realize that knowing when to listen, when to speak, and what to ignore are the most valuable interpersonal skills to practice. 

Listen until your feedback is requested, if it's not - stay mute but maintain warm non-verbal cues. 

Speak with few but clear words if your feedback has been requested. Also speak, and speak politely when you need to correct a wrong generalization, opinion, or impression. Speak when others lack the courage to share a disturbing but common opinion. Speak against what is not favourable to you. 

Ignore statements or arguments that do not define who you know you truly are as a person. Ignore emotional outbursts or statements that you sense might be aimed at inciting you to react irrationally. Ignore closed-minded arguments and opinions. Ignore what wouldn't matter to you in five years time or more. Ignore one inefficient solution when there are several efficient options to consider. 

SILENCE BECOMES FOOLISHNESS WHEN YOU KEEP QUIET OVER THE THINGS YOU SHOULD SPEAK UP FOR OR AGAINST.

WINNING PEOPLE OVER

Image
We all have a few things in common: we want to be liked, loved and happy. Some people make us feel special, others make us feel significant, while others can make us discouraged, small and unimportant. The saying goes, “how you make others feel about themselves, says a lot about you” reigns true. When you lack ability to make people feel good about themselves it does nothing more than showcase your own raggedness for the world to see.  As leaders who believe that people matter, we must become masters at making people feel great – to build and maintain lasting relationships, to consistently influence (in a good way) the people around us, to always make people feel better about themselves, and to become the kind of people everyone wants to be around.    Some tips on making people feel great about themselves include:

EFFECTIVE FOLLOW UP

I understand the fear. No one wants to be annoying or bothersome to a professional contact, especially when you want a job, meeting, sales, sponsorship or something else very important from that person. If you don’t get a response right away, it doesn’t mean that person’s arrogantly ignoring you—it just may mean that he or she is too busy.  So, to the question: Should you follow up? Absolutely. In fact, it’s your job. And how often should you do so?  As many times as it takes. The important thing is to do it the right way. Here are a few tips to aid you with effective follow up :
