So as I sit here waiting on my girlfriend to finish getting ready for an engagement party we're attending (like I said....theoretically), I started thinking of what the best bit of advice was that I took from a book over this past week, that we could all put into play immediately.
The more I read and study people, the more I realize that success, more or less, all boils down to relationships and our ability to influence others. This posting from John Maxwell's Relationships 101 resonated as much as anything I came across this week.
A short course in human relations:
The least important word: I
The most important word: WE
The two most important words: THANK YOU
The three most important words: ALL IS FORGIVEN
The four most important words: WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?
The five most important words: YOU DID A GOOD JOB
The six most important words: I WANT TO UNDERSTAND YOU BETTER
The most important word: WE
The two most important words: THANK YOU
The three most important words: ALL IS FORGIVEN
The four most important words: WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?
The five most important words: YOU DID A GOOD JOB
The six most important words: I WANT TO UNDERSTAND YOU BETTER
In no way is this meant to be "preachy".....I write this for me, because I can internalize it when I write it, read it and share it. If you take anything at all from any of this, I'm glad I shared.
