The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet

And, Failure can mean Failure. And, Success can mean Success. It all depends on what you believe, what you truly know, and how you use what you truly know. And, of course, Emotions & Egos often have the ability to overrule Common Sense.

Attitude: Creating Positive Attitude | Thought Tweets

Life sometimes beats attitudes down

by Rick Baker
On Aug 8, 2014

All people have talents.

All people want to use their talents to create things of value. 

And all people want the things they create to be appreciated.

People want their work to be productive.

It's just that, over time, life experiences and troubling interactions with other people and bad-habit mindsets beat many people’s attitudes down. Ongoing series of real and perceived problems and other people's criticism and worries and grief and many other such things beat many people’s attitudes down.

When spirits are beaten down work performance shrinks away.

We need to bolster spirits before we can expect performance improvements.

Nowadays...technologies are becoming as fragile as relationships.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

When you disappoint a person, trust drops. Maybe you'll get a second chance to repair the trust. Maybe you will not.

It is easier to destroy an interpersonal relationship than build one.

Interpersonal relationships are fragile - we know that.

Now, there's another complication in our lives: technologies are becoming increasingly fragile. Technologies are becoming so fragile we replace them long before we break them.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Everyone knows relationships are an important part of business development. Many people think relationships are the most important part of business development. Some people understand an exchange of insight is one of the two fundamental aspects of business relationships, the other fundamental aspect being trust.

"Men trust their ears less than their eyes." It took 2400 years for psychologists to confirm this ancient wisdom.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

"Men trust their ears less than their eyes."

Herodotus

Greek Historian, 484BCE-425BCE

Now, 2400 years after Herodotus, psychologists are completing experiments that confirm Herodotus' ancient wisdom...our eyes overrule our ears...truly, we do believe what our eyes see them do more than what our ears hear them say. This applies to their major actions and to their minor body-language signals.
