To Compromise

Motivational Power Quote

Compromise     

“A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind

and won't change the subject.”

Sir. Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of Great Britain      

As I see it . . . . . . .

Compromise

To compromise is to understand the other person’s point of view and their position and to find a point of cooperation, to make concessions to reach the desired outcome, to create a successful negotiations process.

Compromise is to be flexible and in finding a common ground with a little give and take.  

A fanatic is a person that has only one opinion and it’s theirs.  They are uncompromising in their thinking, rigid in their actions and inflexible with change.

A person that’s a fanatic is also very passionate in the things they do, but there passion is to the extreme.

There is a very thin link between being a fanatic and bring passionate.

When a person is a fanatic they turn off other people’s opinions. They will bypass information that will help them and will go down the path to crash and burn before they except another person’s input.

Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison were passionate about what they were doing and they both pushed forward with great conviction that they would succeed.

They became prominent in their endeavor not by bring a fanatic but by being passionate. Both adjusted when they had to adjust. They challenged their thinking and make changes when they were required.

Both Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison positively contributed to society not by being a fanatic but by being passionate. They compromise when things were not working out as planned and adjust their thinking and methods to come up with the best possible solution in reaching their objectives.

Both Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison achieved their goals.

To compromise is not give up the store in order to achieve a successful outcome nor is it giving up on your goals. compromising is adjusting to the conditions and in finding the best way to achieve the goals.
