personalities: TALKING "at" or "with"?
- 09/12/21 05:47 AM
We take for granted when we speak that we are communicating but is it effective? Be mindful of speaking in rote which is mechanical or habitual repeating of something learned. Rote does not give a high rate of return in the intimacy realms. Another watch word? Script! Speaking in a canned response (predictable) which people tend to drown out RHETORIC Still another type of speak, rhetorical talk is one talking to themselves and for themselves essentially not including the other person but taking up their time. This triggers a signal to the listener's attention span to activate. Deer in headlights appears or eyes … (6 comments)
personalities: IT'S NOT THE PROBLEMS BUT THE PEOPLE
- 11/14/18 08:33 AM
Everyone should be able to relate with the title of this posting if you have lived for any length of time in a maturity stage. Where does it say or is represented to anyone on this earth that they will live a problem-free life and remain in an idyllic stage? Even trying to do this leads to other problems. Even if there is a silver spoon found in ones mouth it still will produce some strange results as the rich, famous & powerful will attest PROBLEMS ARE NECESSARY How does one exercise their God-given abilities, talents, skills and gifts without trial & error? Often we succeed because we … (43 comments)
personalities: IF YOU DONT LIKE BULLS
- 07/17/15 05:41 AM
Stay out of the bull ring. Become a viewer or observer but leave the fighting of bulls to bullfighters and matadors who understand what the dynamics are when entering into the arena. This applies to just about any venture too. Start-up, being a newbie, being green (naive), inexperienced all had to have a starting point to not be these things anymore FIRST TIME...good stuff I remember fondly my learning how to text but not after putting it off for months and months. When I finally figured it out, I picked up speed to my liking. Same for my first laptop too. Working without a mouse I thought interesting as … (11 comments)
personalities: THE WILD CARD OF LIFE
- 04/17/15 01:30 AM
It's adult people and what is in them. Billions of people no two are alike but similar and all are in different places, times, understandings with their own beliefs traveling in a place no one has visited before and trying to figure out navigation as we all go. Go where? Through life! WHO'S THERE? Why then are we continually amazed, shocked, stunned and thrown off when we meet with each other and find out what is inside folks is not what we were expecting? What is the factor at work here? Is it because we are trying to best each other to get ahead? Or we don't want … (7 comments)
personalities: KEEPING IT SIMPLE IS SIMPLE
- 03/13/15 12:53 AM
The life journey is not complicated. The premise is self-evident and the dynamic to experience it kicks in automatically. You wake up in the morning, and all your systems that were on stand-by are now awaiting fresh orders on how to proceed, when and where. Greet the day, make the way and then begin UNFOLDING THE SELF Priorities are presenting themselves as we pick-up speed. There are things in the moment beckoning and other things for the day presenting themselves. Good! We will get to all of them in due time. A little splash of water, some hygiene and a cup of joe... plus a … (2 comments)
personalities: DO YOU KNOW A MISANTHROPE?
- 10/03/14 03:24 AM
It is hard to believe that these exist on the planet but they do. You have met them from time to time too. Some disguise it and others are blatant about it. But in all cases, sooner or later, it shows itself for what it is. You see it takes energy to be one and wherever your energy goes...your results follow. WHAT IS A MISANTHROPE A person who dislikes human kind and deplores society. They cannot stand people or anything that reminds them of people and what people want. What a strange journey that makes and the person who is traveling that … (8 comments)

- 05/07/13 12:45 AM
I surf the net and what do I find? ActiveRain posts from different Rainmakers regarding all different subjects popping up here and there. It becomes even more compelling when I see that some of the data while relevant was written 1-3 years ago too. What does this tell us? Well first of all ActiveRain is a game-changer and if you are not using this portal into Cyberspace, you should be GOOGLE LIKES IT Then, Google likes it and continues to support the posts and rank them accordingly. Furthermore when I am searching for data on different subjects, when I see an … (7 comments)
personalities: HOW TO GET GOOD AT IGNORING PEOPLE
- 04/22/13 05:21 AM
Everywhere we go, two things will stand out...one, there are people everywhere and two, there we are with them. I have noticed that a lot of times when meeting people or passing by them, more often than not, correct or optimum interaction is compromised. Now when we start taking each other for granted our own private world becomes a lonely place....Let me share... WHAT DO YOU FIND HARD TO DO...? I once asked someone what their biggest challenge in life was. They answered:..navigating through the different personalities. At the time, I didn't think too much of this, but it stayed with … (43 comments)
personalities: BENDING OVER BACKWARDS MEANS COOPERATE PLEASE
- 07/02/12 12:20 AM
I never know what to expect in this business because people and transactions are different. We all may have the same ideas, but how we carry them out remains fascinating. I learned long ago that the most challenging things one can experience is not business or the unknown. NO. It is.... THE PEOPLE CARD How to navigate through all the different personalities. If you have ever worked in corporate or structured environment, this statement will ring true to you. If you do any public relating, you will find that what may work for one person or transaction may not work for … (11 comments)
