Conquering Others By Doing The Opposite

Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty 0575737

Conquering ProfessorI had this Polish instructor in college for my Honors Calculus class and he could scribble on the blackboard with solutions to a problem from one side wall to the front to the other side wall. It was amazing. He called it conquering the problem. I called it getting writer's cramp. We should also learn to

Conquer Others By Doing The Opposite.

Some arrogant guys think they have conquered the hot babe girl as she is like a prize won to them. It rarely lasts. Arrogant REALTORS say they SOLD the million dollar home.

Not really. It was someone they assisted to BUY IT.

We do not truly conquer people in changing them. They have to do that for themselves. But in witnessing in our personal or business lives disturbing behavior right before our eyes and ears we CAN conquer them to show them there IS another way in life. I call it doing the OPPOSITE. Whether it affects them or not always remains to be seen BUT CONQUER OTHERS with these four tips:

  • Conquer the angry man by love

  • Conquer the ill-natured man by goodness

  • Conquer the miser with generosity

  • Conquer the liar with truth

One person at a time in your own world, you will make a difference.

Gary  You have a great attitude.  My wife keeps reminding me how little influence I have...and damn it, she's right.  I keep a catalog in my mind of all the kind and good things in my life.  That makes the rest just stuff.

Love it Gary. I'm focusing on being kind. I guess it's pretty much the same thing.

It surely is the path less traveled. In an ideal world I would sign up immediately and if I was a real man I would any way...
