The persuasive Personality part 2

Speech is power, speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

You can never express an attractive personality, to best advantage, through a harsh or shrill voice. You must cultivate your voice until it becomes rhythmical and pleasing to the ear.

Remember that speech is the chief method of expressing your personality, and for this reason it is your advantage to cultivate a style that is both forceful and pleasing.

Seven Chief factors which enter into the development of a pleasing personality:
1. Form the habit of interesting yourself in other people, and make it your business to find their good qualities and speak of them in terms of praise.
2.Develop the ability to speak with force and conviction, both in your ordinary conversational tones and before public gatherings, where you must use more volume.
3. Dress in a style that is becoming to you and appropriate to the work in which you are engaged.
4. Develop a positive character.
5. Learn how to shake hands so that you will express warmth and Enthusiasm through this form of greeting.
6. Attract other people to you by first "attracting yourself" to them.
7. Remember that the only limitation within reason, is the one that you set up in your own mind.

There is a great power of attraction in the person who has a positive character and this power expresses itself in unseen as well as visible ways. The moment you become within speaking distance of such a person, even though not a word is spoken, the influence of the "unseen power within" makes itself felt

Every "shady" transaction in which you engage, every negative thought that you think, and every destructive act destroys something within your character.

Emerson wrote "There is a full confession in the glances of our eyes; in our smiles; in salutations; in the grasp of the hands. His sin bedaubs him, mars all his good impression. Men know not why the do not trust him. But they do not trust him. His vice glasses his eye, demeans his cheek, pinches the nose, sets the mark of  beast on the back head, and writes, 'O Fool! Fool! on the forehead of a king."

To cultivate kindness is a valuable part of business of life.
-Samuel Johnson

Acquire the habit of making yourself agreeable and you profit both materially and emotionally, for you will never be as happy in any other way as you will be when you know that you are making others happy.

Get the chip off your shoulder and stop challenging people to engage you in useless arguments. Remove the dark glasses through which you see what you believe to be the negative side of life, and behold the shinning sunlight of friendliness instead. Throw away your hammer and quit knocking, for surely you must know that the big prizes of life go to the builders and not to the destroyers.

The man who builds a house is an artist; The man who tears it down is a junk man. If you are a person with a grievance, the world will listen to your caustic ranting only if it does not see you coming. But if you are a person with a message of friendliness and optimism, it will listen because it wishes to do.

No person with a grievance can also be a person with an attractive personality. The art of being agreeable just that one simple trait is the very foundation of all successful salesmanship.

Try not to become a man of success, but rather to become a man of value.
-Albert Einstein

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

So what is your money blueprint set for?

Are you programmed for managing your money well or mismanaging it? Are you a spender or a saver ? Wealth principle: The only way to permanently change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat. In the same way, the only way to change your level of financial success "permanently" is to reset your financial thermostat. You can become an expert in real estate or the stock market. All of these are tremendous "tools." But in the end, without an inner "tool-box" that is big enough and strong enough for you to create and hold on to large amounts of money, all the tools in the world will be useless to you. Your income can grow only to the extent that you do. Remember that the first element of all change is awareness.Watch yourself, become conscious, observe your thoughts, your fears, your beliefs, your habits, your actions, and even your inactions. Put yourself under a microscope. Study yourself. Wealth principle: Consciousness is observin...

Wealth File #4 Rich people think big. Poor people think small

Wealth principle: The law of Income: You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according to the marketplace. The keyword is value. It's important to know that four factors determine your value in the marketplace: supply,demand,quality and quantity. The factor that presents the biggest challenge for most people is the quantity. The quantity factor simply means, how much of your value do you actually deliver to the marketplace? Another way of stating this is, how many people do you actually serve or affect? Most people choose to play small. Why? First, because of fear. They're scared to death of failure and they're even more frightened of success. Second, people play small because they feel small. They feel unworthy. They don't feel they're good enough or important enough to make a real difference in people's lives. But hear this: your life is not just about you. It's also about contributing to others. It's about living true...
