Thought 195: The holistic approach to life



Part 4 - Dealing With People

- "Do not under estimate people merely because they over estimate themselves"

- "Do not talk about people but talk to people". "We are masters of our unsaid words and slaves of those that slip out"


- Never ever make personal jokes about others. If you have to, let the jokes be on you

- Friendships are rarely accidental. They have to be painstakingly cultivated and promoted.

- "Be slow in choosing a friend, even slower in changing"

- Have a small close circle of friends and a large circle of acquaintances. You share freely with the close circle only. Remember, "shared joy is double joy and shared sorrow is half sorrow"

- Every one has strengths and weaknesses. No one should be considered as inferior or superior to any one else but should be respected as a person basically


- We get complexes when we compare our weakness with the strength of others or our strength with the weakness of others. Do not compare. Comparisons cause unhappiness

- Learn to deal politely with people, in general. When necessary, learn to be firm. When it is essential to say"no", have the courage to say so.
