LOVE

When Two People Are Under The Influence Of The Most Violent , Most Insane, Most Delusive and Most Transient of Passions, They Are Required To Swear That They Will Remain In That Excited, Abnormal And Exausting Condition Continuously Until Death Do Them "Part".


  George Bernard Shaw.

JACK CAN'T SEE

There is something Jack can't see.
He knows there is something he can't see,
but he doesn't know what it is that he can't see,
But Jack can see Jill can see
That Jack can't see something.

Jack doesn't know
What he doesn't know
but he thinks
Jill knows whatever the something is which he doesn't know.

FAIL TO NOTICE

The range of what we think and do
Is limited by what we fail to notice
And because we fail to notice
That we fail to notice.
There is little we can do
To change
Until we notice
How failing to notice
Shapes our thoughts and deeds.

ART OF LISTENING

Stop talking . You cannot listen if you are talking.Put the talker at ease.Remove distractions. See the situation from the other persons point of view.
Be patient. Go easy with argument and criticism. When you argue, even if you win, you lose. Ask questions to show interest and encourage response.
Listening requires two ears, one for meaning and one for feeling. Decision makers who do not listen have less information for making sound decsions.
Words are swords we use in our battle for success and happiness. How others react towords us depends in a large measure upon the words we speak to them. Life is a great whispering gallary that sends back echos of the words we send out. Our words are immortal too. They go marching through the years in the lives of all those with whom we come into contact.

REAL ESTATE

The best investment on earth is earth. ( Louis Glickman )

Real Estate is the closest thing to the proverbial pot of gold. (Ada L. Huxtable )

The instinct of ownership is fundamental in man's nature. ( William James )

Before the cherry orchard was sold everybody was worried and upset, but as soon as it was all settled finally and once for all, everybody calmed down, and felt quite cheerful.             ( Anton Chekhov )

PERSONALITY

We were born individuals, and this individuality came, as we grew, to express itself  in selfhood.Indeed some men seem scarcely able to attain personality, like those who, Dante says, lived and never were alive. Starting from the basis of individuality and selfhood, personality is a growth, and even so, not an automatic growth. It is an attainment. 
God made children and they cannot sit still. They were meant to move, to be active, for so they must grow and learn. If they did not they would never be even teachable. This activity, of course, will not be undirected. The child does not consciously direct it, but just as each animal develops according to its species, and is modified more or less by its surroundings, so will it be with the activities of the growing child. These factors we must accept and make the best use of. What is no less important and inevitable is the tendency to seek conscious ends or ideals definitely. IT IS OUR IDEALS MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT MAKE OUR PERSONALITY.

SELF

The greatest factor in making selfhood is other selves. Without them we could hardly be ourselves. Each self develops by imitation of others, and exchange of thought with them. We have but to realize how many of our thoughts are coloured by our times. we are what we are because of what we have got from them.

A HAPPY MAN

When a man is always occupied with the cravings of desire and ambition,
and is eagerly striving to satisfy them, all his thoughts must be mortal, and,
as far as it is possible altogether to become such, he must be mortal every
bit, because he has cherished his mortal part. But he who has been earnest
in the love of knowledge and of true wisdom, and has exercised his intellect
more than any other part of him,must have thoughts immortal and devine, if
he attain truth, and in so far as human nature is capable of sharing in immortality,
he must altogether be immortal; and since he is ever cherishing the devine power,
and has the divinity within him in perfect order, he will be perfectly happy.

POSITIVE ELECTRODE

Expecting to become a winner isn't the result of having family power or money so much as
having the imagination and intelligence to recognize one's ability to change life for the better.
Being born poor simply forces a persion to function in a different manner if he plans on
becoming a winner. Jeno Pauluchi was a poor son of immigrant parents who grew up on the
Iron Range of Minnosota. But he realized that LIFE WAS HIS to SHAPE, so he borrowed a few
hundred dollars to form the ChunKing Chinese food company. He sold ChunKing some years
later for many millions of dollars.
Each person can be said to have a Positive or Negative ELECTRODE in his life, according to
Berne. A negative electrode draws failure and disappointment like an old fasioned lightening
rod attracts electricity from the sky. A negative electrode draws failure and unhappiness,
because they are incompatible with one's expectations. It brings distructive friends, self-deva
luation, unplanned pregnancies, ill health and early death. A man or a woman with a negative
electrode feels that he is jinxed by bad luck, when he is actually bringing most of it on himself
by his life style. It is part of his self-fulfilling game plan,which was formed when he was a confused, two or three year old child.
On the other hand, a positive electrode attracts good preperation, thoughtfull decisions, supp
ortive friends and bold ventures. Winning events when they occur, have been carefully planned
for and fully expected.
I don't want to give the impression that winning or losing in life is connected to the amount
of money you earn, for that is not the case. The crucial aspect is the realization that you can shape life as you want it to become, rathen than being acted upon by forces and people beyond
your control.

TAO

Woman is the generous and welcoming valley of soft mountains where man willingly comes
from the hardness of the world to be overcome.
She is warm promise and tenderness of full earth and moon to which even the wisdom of heaven
is left speechless.
She is the presence of primal beginning from which man arises.
Birth and life struggle him away but desire and death enchant him back.
A man's death in woman is his birth again. She is confirmation of the small and which rhymes of
blood and generations to which he keeeps returning for comfort and release.

THE LAW OF RECIPROCITY

When men and women meet,they invariably go through a series of unspoken and often
unconscious transactions that are a survival tactic from our primitive past.
Men and women take their cues from each other because life is filled with spoken and unspoken
trade offs that people require of each other. If we offer friendship , it is normally returned.
If we are critical and harsh ,they protect themselves in much the same manner.
THE WAY YOU WANT PEOPLE TO ACT TOWARDS YOU IS THE WAY YOU MUST FIRST TREAT THEM.
(The next time you walk down a crowded sidewalk, smile at the people you meet. Almost everyone will return your greeting with a smile of his or her own, and many may wish you
a good day as well.
But if you frown and stare at the on coming people, be prepared to get out of their way. They
may glare,swear aloud, clench their fist, stare back at you and generally become hostile )

.......(continued)

When answering questions, speak concisely, but don't leave out essential informations.

Avoid monosyllabic replies, hard luck stories, tragedies,apologies and recitals of illnesses.

Don't leave negatives arround for the interviewer to remember you by.

Know when to leave. Pace yourself. Think ahead.Don't let the conversation lose its way or

die. Recognize the peak moment of the interview and be ready to concludesoon after.

When you have said all you have to say, stand, smile, give the interviewer your hand,

thank him,and Go ....leaving a positive image behind.

INTERVIEWS

A few days ago I happened to watch my friend Moshi Dayan give a wonderful lecture on 'how to

attend interviews' to a bunch of girl students who are on the brink of turning themselves

into budding professionals.I came across some more material and I would like to share with you guys......

First, Are you pleasing to the eye? Will the image you present help you OR stand in your way

when you are interviewed for a job?

Next, Are you pleasing to the nose?

Go to your interview smelling like a country breeze on a new born spring day. Make use of

your deoderent and mouthwash in your medicine cabinet.

Avoid onions,alcohol and garlic at the meal. If you use perfume,make it light.

Never be late. Come early to adjust yourself to the office atmosphere. Tell yourself- 'I'm confident,composed,compelling and convincing and also positive,persuasive,powerful etc.

Use the smile that shows in the eyes and let your handshake be as natural as your smile.

Be sensitive to the impression you are making. Avoid tentativeness or indecisiveness, but

watch and be guided by the interviewers reaction to what you say and how you say it.

Don't be so dynamic that your interviewer feels overpowered. Remember the image he wants,

and stay within that framework.

Be serious; be earnest; but show that if you do get the job you will be not just efficient but

a pleasant person to have around. Listen thoughtfully.Pay attention. Ask pertinant questions of your ownbut in a non provocative manner.

6.We are more willing to believe flattering description of ourselves than
unflattering ones.
7.We prefer to gather and seek confirmation of information that is likely
to be self-affirming.
8.We remember our own past in self enhancing ways.
9.We exhibit a wide-eyed optimism about our personal futures.
10.We guess that physically attractive people have personalities more like
our own than unattractive people.

WE THE PEOPLE

1.People typically accept more responsibility for success than for failure, for
good deeds than for bad.People readily accept when told they have succeeded
yet attribute failure to bad luck or impossibility of the task.
2.Most people see themselves as relatively superior on nearly any dimension that is
both subjective and socially desirable.(Most Americans believe they are more ethical
than their counterparts)Most community residents see themselves as less prejudiced
than others in their communities.Most drivers-even those who involved in accidents
-believe themselves to be more skilled than the average driver.Most employees
rank rank themselves in the top 3.
3.We tend to justify our past actions.
4.We have an inflated confidence in the accuracy of our beliefs and judgments.
5.We over-estimate how desirably we would act in situations in which most people
are known to behave less than admirably.
