Vital tips for your resolutions for the year 2014

Tips for the Year - 2014.

 The year 2013 found its way to completion. Soul searching on what we did well in 2013 gave us future directions on next steps what each one of us to capitalize and leverage. To me the success is the inevitable result of doing a number of specific things, in a focused manner and in a consistent way. Some people say resolutions last only until the first crisis erupts. However, most say resolutions are effective guidelines toward success. Vital tips for your resolutions for the “Year 2014”.

Dealing with people is probably the biggest problem you face every day and every minute, especially if you are in business and countless businesses are with people. Yes, that is also true if you are a housewife, architect, banker, lawyer, teacher, programmer, supervisor, mentor, entrepreneur or engineer. Research done few years  ago under the auspices of the Carnegie foundation these research investigations revealed that even in such technical lines as engineering, about 15 percent of one’s financial success is due to one’s technical knowledge and about 85 percent is due to skill in human engineering to personality and ability to lead people. The resolutions are:

1. Do not criticize, condemn or complain: Instead of condemning people, let you try to understand them. Let you figure out why they do what they do. That’s a lot more profitable and intriguing than criticism: and it breeds sympathy, tolerance and kindness.

2. Be hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise: Let you cease your accomplishments, your wants. Let you try to figure out the other person’s good points. Then forget flattery. Give honest, sincere appreciation.

3. Stimulate in the other person an excited want: the only way on earth to influence other people is to talk about what they want and show them how to get it.

4. Become authentically interested in other people: did you ever stop to think that a dog is the only animal that does not have to work for living? A hen has to lay eggs, a cow has to give milk, and a canary has to sing. But a dog makes his living by giving you nothing but love.

5. Smile till you live every minute: Till date it can’t be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away.

6. The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it: Someone said: ‘My wife and I made a pact a long time ago, and we have kept it no matter how angry we have grown with each other. When one yells, the other should listen because when two people yell, there is no communication, just noise and bad vibrations'.

7. Never say ‘you are wrong’: In other words, don’t argue with your customer or your spouse or your adversary. Don’t tell them they are wrong, don’t get them stirred up. [Captured from Dale Carnegie]
