Less Regret

Many of us as teenagers broke the rules of society. These rogue actions haunt us the rest of our lives. The successful person leaves these irresponsible policies. Modern media has society’s consent to dig into anyone’s past and put it on the internet.

Motivation

Motivation moves forward in midst of fear. When we keep the future in sight, our motivation or desire to reach the goal stays fresh. Our desire to move forward reduces the devastating effect of negative circumstances by fifty percent.Another way to keep our desire active is to reward ourselves when we move a small step toward our goal.

Criticism

Criticism is always around. Criticism can be powerfully destructive. It wounds that person’s pride and shatters one’s confidence. Now and then people make a direct critical remark. Sometimes they imply a criticism. Although the criticism was well intended, it makes us feel disappointed. Mean and spiteful critical remarks are damaging. Criticism automatically lowers our sense of importance. Unfair and unprovoked criticism stirs up resentment. We must immediately work to stop our resentment.

Occasionally criticism proves constructive. At these times, criticism motivates us to improve. God’s criticism is always constructive.

There are ways to handle criticism. Norman Vincent Peale took the constructive part out of the criticisms he received on his newly published book Positive Thinking. He forgot the other part and did not feel guilty. Benjamin Franklin vowed to speak ill of no man but speak all the good he knew about them.

Name Recognition

Hearing our name mentioned in our native tongue is the sweetest name in the world. Following an introduction to a new person, if you didn’t catch their names, ask them to repeat it. Then use it in the next sentence or two to reinforce that in our mind.

The way to get employees to produce to their maximum level is to show your appreciation. There are a number of ways such as…

Friendliness

f we want cordial relations with employees, we should be friendly to all we meet. What we continually plant we will receive.

Arguing

There is an underlying reason why arguments start. Undisclosed secrets, half-truths and incomplete information are the seeds from which argument germinates.

Respect

Respect is treating others as we would like to be treated. The way we treat our relatives and close friends reveals who we are deep within.

Follow the Leader

We can follow Jesus, The Great Example. This model of leadership always yields positive results whether one worships Him or not. Negative aspects are naturally eliminated. Our mindset or lifestyle will produce a pleasant and attractive personality.

Discipline

There are degrees of discipline. As the middle child, we thought discipline was awful. Our little brother/sister didn’t get punished but we did, while the other brother or sister was considered an adult. In the business world, there are also degrees of discipline or favoritism.
