3 Fundamental Techniques in Handling People


Technique 1: Don't criticize, condemn or complain

"If you want to gather honey, don't kick over the beehive."
I think this means that if you want to win people over, you should not do anything that's going to mess you up like complaining or criticizing about them or to them.










Technique 2: Give honest and sincere appreciation
"The big secret in dealing with people"

I think this means to show that you genuinely care and appreciate what someone is to you or what they do for you. I do think this is important because I would want some appreciation from my friends when I do stuff for them. Like I know I'm a piece of trash but I would like for one of my friends to say they appreciate me and honestly mean it. For the meanwhile, I am truly honestly very appreciative for my friend Sarai. She got us tickets to see one of my favorite singers. Even if I don't get to go because my stupid ignorant father doesn't let me go, I'll still be grateful that she did that for me.



Technique 3: Arouse in the other person an eager want.
"He who can do this has the whole world with him. He who cannot, walks in a lonely way."

I think what this means is that you should motivate someone else to do what they want to do as a way of encouragement towards someone else. I think that's good and there should be more people in this world that are like that. I would like to be motivated more by friends and family, the only people that inspire me are my favorite artists.



Final Reflection: While writing the three fundamental techniques in handling people I learned that I already kind of do all those things.
