The Real Reason Why We Shout In Anger

Why We Shout In Anger" A Hindu saint who was visiting river Ganges to take bath found a group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other.  He turned to his disciples smiled'n asked. 'Why do people shout in anger shout at each other?' Disciples thought for a while, one of them said,'Because we lose our calm, we shout.' 'But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner.'asked the saint.  The disci ples gave some other answers but none satisfied the other disciples. Finally the saint explained, . 'When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other to cover that great distance. What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softl

How to Fish for Success in 5 Ways

When your men come to you looking for answers to their problems, do you give them the fish or you teach them how to fish? When you give them the fish, they deprive themselves the chance to learn. Instead of leveraging on you, they rely on you. But when you teach them how to fish, they become leaders too. There are 5 ways to teach people how to fish: Look for obvious and most pivotal answers to problems . Don't beat around the bush trying to cure symptoms of problems. Instead go to the root of the problem and look for permanent solutions. Like the solution to sales is not to look for new prospects, but to improve your offering first Go for the kill, be daring and go all the way . Most followers like to do things step by step. But leaders know that it is more productive to take a few steps forward at one go than to take one step at a time and lose momentum along the way. Like in sales, the 3 steps to take to get more customers are to prospect more, prospect deeper and prospect

Are you being mindful or being mind full?

Being mindful is to be aware of what is around, and be alert to things happening and absorb whatever good the environment is. Being mindful is also about to take the right response to what is happening.  If there is pollution, a mindful person would be aware of it, and choose a right response, and do not react to it. This is because reacting is futile as you cannot change what has happened and your reaction (like getting angry) would only make yourself more unhappy.  A mindful person would respond appropriately, like wear masks.  The opposite of being mindful is to have your mind full. When your mind is full, you cannot take in any new material anymore. That's why people with minds full will find the training "not useful".  In fact it is their mind fullness that is causing the blockage. We need to turn ourselves from being mind full to being mindful if we want to be effective in learning. How to be mindful during and after training? First thing is to pay attentio

There Are No Lazy People, Only People With Lousy Dreams

There are no lazy people, only people with lousy dreams. Dreams are lousy when: It depends on luck 100%, like striking a lottery It is selfish, like getting rich and make a lot of money for yourself only It is bad for mankind, like be a king in the casino industry It appears that most people have dreams that depend on 100% luck, they are lousy because there is no effort on the individual. Life is a random chance of success, so why work hard?  That is why these people become lazy. To correct these people and make them not lazy, it is important that we inspire them to have their own dreams. What are 'not lousy' dreams?  They are dreams that inspire you. Dreams will inspire you when: It pulls you forward, because you are doing what people consider as impossible It is not just about you, it is about other people too It is not something that can be achieved without much effort It is something that you have never thought of before In short, a dream is inspiring wh

When Your Bonus Becomes an Onus

Whether you are a trainer, manager, salesperson or professional, you often give extra things to people. Such bonuses usually are in non-monetary terms. Common bonuses include free coaching, extra tuition, paid holidays and of course training (paid by companies).   Unfortunately, many people consider such bonuses as onouses instead. This is because they don't see any value in these bonuses. They also feel that they incur extra effort and time to get these 'free bonuses", like to attend training they must wake up early. When the staff see these bonuses as onuses, their perception of their bosses will become more negative than before.  Thus it is important that we must ensure that bonuses do not become onuses or this will backfire and make us look stupid.  There are 3 things that we must do if we don't want our bonuses to become onuses: Place a value in the bonuses , let them know how much they have to pay if they were to buy from outside, and incur extra costs

Secret Art of War in a Mandarin Shirt

What's the best way to turn a weakness into a strength and sell it like hotcakes?  The ancient Secret Art of War taught us that the use of deception is the most powerful way to change people's perception. Instead of avoid mentioning your product's weakness, mention all your weaknesses upfront. When you are open about your weakness, you convey the perception that you and your organization are honest and trustworthy. This puts you in a position to be more persuasive when promoting your genuine strengths.  This stratagem of exposing your weakness can be used in negotiation. Your negotiating partner is likely to see you as more trustworthy if you mention your weakness upfront rather than having it to be discovered later. The same goes for direct sales. If your product is more expensive, say you're sorry that your company's offer may not be seen as generous for customers, but you have no choice but to mention the reasons why it is more expensive. In short, when
