Both tears and sweat are salty, but they will render different results. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change.
-Jesse Jackson
The ability to negotiate with other people without friction and argument is outstanding quality of all successful people.
The art of successful negotiations grows out of patient and painstaking self-control.
A single frown of disapproval or a single word denoting impatience will often spoil a sail.
Self Control is the result of thought control!
Deliberately place in your own mind the sort of thoughts that you wish to have there, and keep out of your mind those thoughts that others place there through suggestion, and you will become a person of self-control.
Losing your temper, or your argument, or your sanity, marks you as one who has not yet familiarized yourself with the fundamentals upon which self-control is based, and chief of these fundamentals is the privilege of choosing the thoughts that will dominate your mind.
Behind all self-control, behind all thought control, is that magic something called desire.
It is no misstatement of fact to say that you are limited only by the depth of your desires. When your desires are strong enough, you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve. No one has ever explained this strange phenomenon of the mind, and perhaps no one ever will, but if you doubt that it exists, you have but to experiment and be convinced.
If you are "different " it is only in this respect: They desire the object of their achievement with more depth and intensity than you desire yours.
Plant in your mind the seed of a desire that is constructive.
I wish to be of service to others as I journey through life. To do this I have adopted this creed as a guide to be followed in dealing with my fellow beings:
To train myself so that never, under any circumstances, will I find fault with any person, no matter how much I may disagree with them or how inferior their work may be, as long as I know they are sincerely trying to do their best.
To respect my country, my profession, and myself. To be honest and fair with others as I expect them to be honest and fair with me. To be a person whose name carries weight wherever it goes.
To base my expectations of reward on a solid foundation of service rendered. To be willing to pay the price of success in honest effort. To look upon my work as an opportunity to be seized with joy and made the most of, and not as a painful drudgery to be reluctantly endured.
To remember that success lies within myself in my own brain. To expect difficulties and to face my way through them. To avoid procrastination in all its forms, and never, under any circumstances, put off until tomorrow any duty that should be performed today.
Finally, to take a good grip on the joys of life, so I may be courteous to others, faithful to friends, true to God.
It is a peculiar trait of human nature, that the most successful men will work harder for the sake of rendering useful service than they will for money alone.
All successful people grade high of self-control. All "failures" grade low, generally zero, on this important law of human conduct.
One very common and very destructive form of lack of self-control is the habit of talking too much. People of wisdom, who know what they want and are determined to achieve it, guard their conversation carefully. There can be no gain from a barrage of uninvited, uncontrolled. loosely spoken words. It is nearly always more profitable to listen than it is to speak.A good listener may, once in a great while, hear something that will add to their stock of knowledge.
It requires Self-control to become a good listener, but the benefits to be gained are worth the efforts.
"Taking the conversation away from another person" is a common form of lack of self control that is not only discourteous but it deprives those who do it of many valuable opportunities to learn from others.
The person who exercises complete self-control cannot be permanently defeated, because obstacles and opposition have a way of melting away when confronted by the determined mind that is guided to a definite end with complete self-control.
Poverty
Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the goods we oft might win by fearing to attempt.
-William Shakespeare
Poverty is an undisguised blessing.
in poverty as a condition to experience to go through, and then to get out of; not as a condition to stay in. Some will say, "easy enough to say, but how can you get out of it!" No one can definitely tell another that. No two persons can find the same way out. Each must find his way for himself.
The law of retaliation
If I do you a favor you will reciprocal in even in greater measure if possible.
Through the proper use of this law, I can get you to do whatever I wish you to do. If I wish you to dislike me and lend your influence toward damaging me, I can accomplish this by inflicting upon you the sort of treatment that I want you to inflict upon me through retaliation.
If I wish your respect, your friendship, and your cooperation, I can get these by extending to you my friendship and cooperation.
You can compare these statements with your own experience and you will see how beautifully they harmonize.
How often have you heard the remark "What a wonderful personality that person has"? How often have you met people whose personalities you coveted?
People who attract you to them through their pleasing personality are merely making use of the law of harmonious attraction, or the law of retaliation, both of which, when analyzed, mean that "like attracts like."
You must learn to take all sorts of punishment and abuse without retaliating in kind. This self control is a part of the prize you must pay for mastery of the law of attraction.
When an angry person starts in to vilify and abuse you, justly or unjustly, just remember that if you retaliate in a like manner you are being drawn down to that person's mental level. Therefore that person is dominating you!
The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
If you refuse to become angry; If you retain your self-composure and remain calm and serene. You take the other person by surprise. You retaliate with a weapon with which he or she is unfamiliar, consequently you easily dominate.
Like attract Like! There's no denying this!
Literally speaking, every person with whom you come in contact is a mental looking glass in which you may see a perfect reflection of your own mental attitude
There was a brothers named John and Jack
John took a notion of peanuts without asking permission to jack he reached over and made a grab for the bag. Jack retaliated with his left fist, which landed on John's jaw.
But when John offer some cracker to Jack before Jack would touch the cracker, He insisted on pouring some of his peanuts into John's pocket. He "retaliated in Kind";
We are all just grown up children and easily influenced through this principle. If a person presents us with a gift, we never feel satisfied until we have "retaliated" with something as good or better than that which we received.
If a person speaks well of us,we increase our admiration for that person and we "retaliate" in return!
Through the principle of retaliation we can actually convert our enemies into loyal friends.
If you have an enemy whom you wish to convert into a friend you can prove the truth of this statement if you will forget that dangerous millstone hanging around your neck which we cal pride,or stubbornness.
Make a habit of speaking to this enemy with unusual cordiality. Go out of your way to favor them in every manner possible.
They may seem immovable at first, but gradually he or she will give way to your influence and "retaliate in kind"!
It is for you to decide what you want others to do and it is for you to get them to do it through the law of retaliation!
"The Divine Economy is automatic and very simple: we receive only that which we give."
I implore you to make use of this law, not alone for material gain, but, better still, for the attainment of happiness and goodwill.
This, is the only real success which to strive.
Kindness and unkindness and injustice beget unkindness and injustice.
Our action toward others, whether of kindness or unkindness, justice or injustice, come back to us, in an even larger measure!
Human mind responds in kind to all sensory impressions it receives; therefore we know what we do to influence any desired action on the part of another.
Pride and stubbornness must be brushed away before we can make use of the law of retaliation in a constructive way.
We have not learned what the law of retaliation is, but we have learned how it works and what it will do. Therefore, it only remains for us to make intelligent use of this great principle.
The evolution of transportation
Nothing is permanent except change. Time is even shifting, changing, and rearranging both the stage setting and the players. New friends are constantly replacing to old. Everything is in a state of flux. In every heart is the seed of both rascality and justice.
Honesty and dishonesty are largely matters of individual viewpoint. The weak and the strong, the rich and the poor, the ignorant and the well informed are exchanging places continuously.
Know yourself and you know the entire human race. There is but one real achievement, and that is the ability to think accurately.
We move with the procession, or behind it, but we cannot stand still.
Nothing is permanent except change!
The law of evolution is working out improvements in the methods of travel, and all these changes took place first in the human mind.
If you are successful, remember that somewhere, sometime, someone gave you a life or an idea that started you in the right direction. Remember, also that you are indebted to life until you some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.
The two great major influences that cause the human mind to grow are the urge of necessity and the urge to desire to create. Some minds will develop only after they have undergone failure and defeat and other forms of punishment that arouses them to greater action.
Other minds withers away and die under punishment, but grow to unbelievable heights when provided with the opportunity to use their imaginative forces in a creative ways.
Study yourself and find out to which of the two great major urges to action your mind responds most naturally -The urge of necessity or the desire to create.
The law of evolution is always and everywhere at work - changing, tearing down, and rebuilding every material element on this earth and throughout the universe.
The human mind is also under going constant change. If this were not true we would never grow beyond the child-mind age.
The mind that is driven by the urge of necessity, or out of the love to create, develops more rapidly than does the mind that it never stimulated to greater action than what is necessary for existence.
The imaginative faculty of the human mind is the greatest piece of machinery ever created. Out of it has come every man made machine and enemy man-made object.
Behind every one of the great industries and commercial enterprises is the all-powerful force of imagination!
Force your mind to think! Proceed by coming old ideas into new plans.
Time gives the law of evolution a chance to expand your mind so it can see and understand more.
