- 01/16/20 04:29 PM
If you do not ask that is what the answer will always be i.e. NO! What we should never do but find ourselves doing more often than not is asking the question mentally within our own minds and then answering it there too making it never really come out to play and stay. I ask you: Why then are you here? Thinking in and of itself only goes so far and too much of it causes one to sink in it (sinking in thinking) is no myth

- 01/11/20 07:08 AM
I discovered this dynamic called ignoring when I was a child but I didn't understand what it was or why it was or just what was it? It exposes itself as a feeling that pulls or pushes that is not pleasant when it is at work and the natural response as a child is to make a noise, do an action or with draw plus everything in between to counter this ugly invisible force at work in the moment
NOT INTENTIONAL?
Still exploring this as a child, ignoring someone can be on purpose or out of ignorance. If on purpose, the pain is … (28 comments)

This time of year is when the want, misery and lack in others makes itself known being more keenly felt and for a special reason too. It is a reminder of all the general principals at work that we tend to forget for one reason or another. We are all going through life together. We all want the same things and we have more in common than we think or know. This is a worthy reminder

Plain & simple, they like hearing their own names. It has been studied and gets high results too. It works in so many arenas as well. When customer servicing, counseling, placing an order or just plain introductions, referring to someones name and saying it correctly promotes a strong, likable connection
POLITE
Gets even better when someone knows your name and you don't know there's. Immediately you think that they took the time or went to the trouble and this brings about a down home, easy-peasy, cooperative dynamic that invites all. Who doesn't respond to politeness?

One of the things that I have made my business in life to never do to another is something I once discovered for myself and saw how much it hurt me when I was a child and even up into my young adult life too. It was simply this. Allowing someone to be ignored. It is an act of omission that hurts like you cannot believe it could

I went to Traders Jo's and bought some cornbread mix. Its good stuff and very easy to use. You go home, get the one egg, 1/2 cup of oil and cup of milk beat it all up and then put it in a greased pan and 40 minutes later, coming out of your oven is a golden brown, sweet smelling hot delicious corn bread
SO FAR SO GOOD...YUMMY
Let said cornbread cool for about 1/2 hour and then slice it into big portions. Carefully wrap those portions which are still warm in saran wrap and then here is the next best most important step. … (77 comments)

Giving a kid a hand held remote device that connects to a video game is the new pacifier and baby sitter and one of great conveniences too. Hey, it helps to develop eye to hand coordination and keeps their little baby brains active and baby sits them too. No nurturing takes place. Just noise and sounds. Then, as they get older, more devices are available but to what end?

Two words and look how powerful they are too. Try not using them and life can become complicated. Use them and navigating through life becomes more effective. Use them like you mean it and a lasting impression is made. Use them recklessly and you get a minimum reputation for being dishonest

What is success? How is it defined? What is it bounced off of or compared to as in a contrast? Does money define it? Does power or achievement? How about degrees, knowledge or being the best at something. These all have value but can success be defined in other ways?
SUCCEEDING WITHIN

A behavior that shows a type of politeness to others is what courtesy in motion simply is. This appreciation application that takes place in the moment that it is activated anywhere and accomplishes great things because it speaks instantly to the heart of all the players
AIM FOR THE HEART
Getting to the heart of the matter is our target. I often give courtesy without any conditions because I like to do this. I actually look for the opportunities too. The core of this dynamic supports all that is good, memorable and satisfying. Drink hearty from this cup!

You can apologize all day long for falling short on someones expectations. It wont hurt but it also wont help produce the coveted results and certainly is a poor substitute for the lack of the result. Often, people use the words I am sorry or I apologize and quite a few times it is disingenuous but on the record for compliance to customer service...Again...wheres the beef?

This subject is being tested more than it should. If a principal is working with another agent and comes across another agent who either wants to get involved or is roped in, what is the protocol?
