If You Must Make A Mistake, Make

Tell A Child, A Husband Or An Employee That He Is Stupid Or Dumb At A Certain Thing, That He Has No Gift For It, And That He Is Doing It All Wrong And You Have Destroyed Almost Every Incentive To Try To Improve. But Use The Opposite Technique, Be Liberal With Encouragement; Make The Thing Seem Easy To Do, Let The Other Person Know That You Have Faith In His Ability To Do It, That He Has An Undeveloped Flair For It - And He Will Practice Until The Dawn Comes In At The Window In Order To Excel.

First Ask Yourself: What Is The Worst That Can Happen? Then Prepare To Accept It. Then Proceed To Improve On The Worst.

A Good Deed, "said The Prophet Mohammed, "is One That Brings A Smile Of Joy To The Face Of Another." Why Will Doing A Good Deed Every Day Produce Such Astounding Efforts On The Doer? Because Trying To Please Others Will Cause Us To Stop Thinking Of Ourselves: The Very Thing That Produces Worry And Fear And Melancholia.

If You Increase Your Success By Even A Mere 10 Percent, You Have Become 10 Percent More Effective As A Leader Than You Were Before.

Forget Yourself By Becoming Interested In Others. Do Every Day A Good Deed That Will Put A Smile Of Joy On Someone's Face.
