Let The Other Person Save Face.

People Are Not Interested In You. They Are Not Interested In Me. They Are Interested In Themselves - Morning, Noon And After Dinner.

George Bernard Shaw Was Right. He Summed It All Up When He Said: "the Secret Of Being Miserable Is To Have The Leisure To Bother About Whether You Are Happy Or Not." So Don't Bother To Think About It! Spit On Your Hands And Get Busy. Your Blood Will Start Circulating; Your Mind Will Start Ticking-and Pretty Soon This Whole Positive Upsurge Of Life In Your Body Will Drive Worry From Your Mind. Get Busy. Keep Busy. It's The Cheapest Kind Of Medicine There Is On This Earth-and One Of The Best.

People Aren't Interested In You. They're Interested In Themselves

Why Prove To A Man He Is Wrong? Is That Going To Make Him Like You? Why Not Let Him Save Face? He Didn't Ask For Your Opinion. He Didn't Want It. Why Argue With Him? You Can't Win An Argument, Because If You Lose, You Lose It; And If You Win It, You Lose It. Why? You Will Feel Fine. But What About Him? You Have Made Him Feel Inferior, You Hurt His Pride, Insult His Intelligence, His Judgment, And His Self-respect, And He'll Resent Your Triumph. That Will Make Him Strike Back, But It Will Never Make Him Want To Change His Mind. A Man Convinced Against His Will Is Of The Same Opinion Still.

Obviously, Circumstances Alone Do Not Make Us Happy Or Unhappy. It Is The Way We React To Circumstances That Determines Our Feelings. Jesus Said That The Kingdom Of Heaven Is Within You. That Is Where The Kingdom Of Hell Is, Too.
