Looking Outwards
The man have to Think Broadly to Achieve their Goals. There is more opportunities are available if we See Outwards. The following are the Look Outwards Thoughts.
- The Americans gave a phrase whereby they describe a man as “a good mixer”; a man, that is who is at home in any society, who “gets on” with anyone with whom he is thrown in to contact.
- There is no secret about such a man. It is, I grant you, partly a matter of personal characteristics, but it is still more a question of adaptability.
- If we dug a little deeper still we should find it was also a question of being able to see the other person’s point of view.
- There is one characteristic that is outstanding about the human machine – its well nigh limitless power of adaptation to circumstances and to emergencies.
- It is a power that it pays everyone to be fully conscious of, that it behaves us all to train and use.
- If we turn all our thoughts inward to ourselves we shall find it very difficult to adapt ourselves. It can only be done by continually thinking outwards, as it were.
- Your Self-centred man, whose first and only question when confronted by a new situation is “How is this going to affect me ?” can never be a good mixer.
- He erects a wall of selfishness between himself and others. He implies that there can be no other view point than his own.
- He broods over fancied wrongs, becomes suspicious, indulges in self pity.
- The remedy is to be interested in people, to lend a receptive mind to their views and opinions, and to realize that people are interested in you in the same way.
- Remember, too, that what seem so important to you may be negligible to someone else.
Cultivate a sense of perspective. Try putting yourself in the other fellow’s place. - You are not the only person in the world !.
