People Do Things For "their" Reasons, Not

You Cannot Teach A Man Anything, You Can Only Help Him Find It Within Himself.

Tell A Child, A Husband Or An Employee That He Is Stupid Or Dumb At A Certain Thing, That He Has No Gift For It, And That He Is Doing It All Wrong And You Have Destroyed Almost Every Incentive To Try To Improve. But Use The Opposite Technique, Be Liberal With Encouragement; Make The Thing Seem Easy To Do, Let The Other Person Know That You Have Faith In His Ability To Do It, That He Has An Undeveloped Flair For It - And He Will Practice Until The Dawn Comes In At The Window In Order To Excel.

In A Nutshell - Fundamental Techniques In Handling People; Principle 1 - Don't Criticize, Condemn Or Complain; Principle 2 - Give Honest And Sincere Appreciation; Principle 3 - Arouse In The Other Person An Eager Want.

Remember That Other People May Be Totally Wrong. But They Don't Think So. Don't Condemn Them. Any Fool Can Do That. Try To Understand Them. Only Wise, Tolerant, Exceptional People Even Try To Do That.

If You Argue And Rankle And Contradict, You May Achieve A Victory Sometimes; But It Will Be An Empty Victory Because You Will Never Get Your Opponent's Good Will.
