Improve Relationships With Others By Assuming That

Contrary To What Most People Believe, Trust Is Not Some Soft, Illusive Quality That You Either Have Or You Don't; Rather, Trust Is A Pragmatic, Tangible, Actionable Asset That You Can Create.

It Is Futile To Put Personality Ahead Of Character, To Try To Improve Relationships With Others Before Improving Ourselves.

Lose/win People Bury A Lot Of Feelings. And Unexpressed Feelings Come Forth Later In Uglier Ways. Psychosomatic Illnesses Often Are The Reincarnation Of Cumulative Resentment, Deep Disappointment And Disillusionment Repressed By The Lose/win Mentality. Disproportionate Rage Or Anger, Overreaction To Minor Provocation, And Cynicism Are Other Embodiments Of Suppressed Emotion. People Who Are Constantly Repressing, Not Transcending Feelings Toward A Higher Meaning Find That It Affects The Quality Of Their Relationships With Others.

Start Small, Make A Promise And Keep It. Then, Make Larger Promises And Keep Them. Eventually, Your Honor Will Become Greater Than Your Moods Or Your Circumstances, Which Includes Your Medical Condition And Other People's Stereotypic Observations. Once You Overcome This Comparison Based Mentality, Your Confidence Will Soar.

The Essence Of Synergy Is To Value Differences-to Respect Them, To Build On Strengths, To Compensate For Weaknesses
