Chapter Seventy Three: Influence

The world has become so fake that telling
the truth actually makes people uncomfortable.

The Sun is Shining Not Quite

PSYCHOLOGICAL TRUTHS
ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR

Lifted snipets from the important work of Dale Carnegie, exploring the clever ways of inducing desired responses from relevant behavior, to choose the right words in communicating commands or instructions, share the stated corporate mission and the future goals and vision of the company, within the sphere of leadership with the ultimate end in view of effectively influencing and motivating those concerned, and other matters related to leading or directing:
  1. Every man I meet is my superior in some way. In that, I learn from him.
  2. Criticisms are like homing pigeons. They always return home.
  3. Only knowledge that is used (remains) in your mind.
  4. The rare individual who unselfishly tries to serve others has an enormous advantage.
  5. The only way I can get you to do anything is by giving you what you want.
  6. A person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
  7. Arouse in the other person an eager want. He who can do this has the whole world with him.
  8. Every successful person loves the game. The chance to prove his worth, to excel, to win.
  9. Success in dealing with people depends on a sympathetic grasp of the other person's viewpoint.
  10. Pay less attention to what men say. Just watch what they do.
  11. Ask questions instead of giving orders.
  12. The average person is more interested in his own name than in all the other names on earth put together.
  13. Remember a name and call it easily and you have paid a subtle and very effective compliment.
  14. There is only one way to get the best of an argument -- and that is to avoid it.
  15. Three-fourths of the people you will meet are hungering for sympathy. Give it to them and they will love you.
  16. People are more likely to accept an order if they had a part in the decision that caused the order to be issued.
  17. Flaming enthusiasm backed up by horse sense and persistence is the quality that most frequently makes for success.
  18. Ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept. Then proceed to improve on the worst.
  19. Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.
  20. One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses.
  21. To be interesting, be interested.
  22. All men have fears, but the brave put down their fears and go forward.
  23. Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.
  24. Talk to someone about themselves and they will listen for hours.
  25. You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him to find it within himself.
  26. Criticism is dangerous because it wounds a person's pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment.
  27. Actions speak louder than words. A smile says, "I like you. I am glad to see you." :)
  28. You can't win an argument. If you lose it, you lose it; if you win it, you lose it.
  29. If you want to gather honey, don't kick over the beehive.
  30. It raises one above the herd and gives one a feeling of nobility and exaltation to admit one's mistakes.

Chapter Sixty Two: The Fable Beneath the Enclosure of Minneapolis

 Just as the enclosure called Planet Earth has a wealth of story and narrative to tell, waiting to be discovered by an "anointed one," like a true seer as some might allege at this point of comparative instance; just as a person's mind is littered with all kinds of thoughts and a wide array of options for the rational soul to decide, the newly created enclosures of the so-called New World of America are also full of fables and tales that merit intellectual attention and the discerning eye for a much open sense of literary appreciation. This comes as history is desperately trying to keep the balance of the continuous unveiling of universal timeline, as well as the many periods in the past, and that which holds the valuable lessons that came, primarily, from the victorious strategic demeanor that led to triumph, as well as the several notable failures of the wars that led to the development of military tactics, and the peripheral analysis of political and mercantile powers,...

Chapter Fifty Two: Enclosed

I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it amyway except a slow way, (instead) leave it the fastest  way you can.  Never turn back and never believe  that an hour you remember is a better hour  because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones,  vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance. Beryl Markham, West with the Night Renew, release, let it go. Yesterday's gone. There's nothing you can do to bring it back. You can't "should've" done something. You can only DO something. Renew yourself. Release that attachment. Today is the new day! Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it. A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh I've been doing this a long time --manipulating people to get my way. That's why you think you love me. Because I've...

Chapter Eight: Arrival at the Peaceful Enclosures

Back in the present day, the initial implementation of Genesis Technology was in full swing. There are many more protests and speeches and court cases initiated by organized women and politicians that has become very repetitive. Day two after the crucial Executive Order takes effect and enter into force, thousands of women arrive at the Peaceful Enclosures in Arizona and Wisconsin, and more States are expected to follow. Although mainly a federal operation, State governments were also enjoined to ensure the success of the application of the discovered benefits of the breakthrough Genesis Technology operation. Women politicians have all sought the floor of their respective legislatures to deliver a speech about the importance of keeping their seats and continue their political participation, as the government is trying to resolve the issue about the technology's universal application and its efficacious use on the health of others, especially the women. Many of them have also held t...
