The Power Of WordsA policeman watched the car go zooming by and run right through a four-way stop sign. In response, the policeman turned on his lights and pulled the motorist over. As the policeman began to write the ticket, the motorist protested. “What are you doing?” he said. “You can't give me a ticket for that!” “Why not?” the officer asked. “It's true, I didn't stop,” the motorist admitted. “But I did slow down – and that's almost the same.” “But you didn't stop,” the officer said. “And the sign clearly says ‘STOP.'” “But it was clear. Nothing was coming,” the motorist replied. As the motorist continued arguing, the officer glanced up from his writing. “Do you want me to slow down,” he asked, “or STOP?” |

When A Friend Asks For Money…When A Friend Asks For Money… A friend has asked you for a loan, and though you have the money now, making a loan may bring you up short at the end of the month if she doesn't pay you back. Should you loan her the money? While it's always a good thing to help others, you shouldn't imperil your own financial health to help someone else improve theirs. If, however, you have money to spare, and you trust your friend to pay you back, and it's something you want to do, then go ahead. But ask yourself if there's any possibility that you'll end up resenting what you're about to do. If so, you'll be better off saying “No” to your friend . |

How To Slow Down And ListenDo you ever find your mind wandering when someone is talking to you? No, you're not abnormal and you don't have attention deficit disorder. Most people speak at an average rate of about 120 words a minute, but most people can listen about four times faster. So, your mind fills in the gaps by thinking of other things. Be aware of this and try to “slow down” your listening. Work on staying focused, so you can really comprehend everything the speaker is saying. |

Life Is Often The Best TeacherThe vicissitudes of life and the workplace are sometimes our best teachers. Often the lesson comes from words spoken at the right time and in the right way from someone in the know, which can lead us to a solution we couldn't see before we experienced the difficulty. Many philosophies and religions postulate that life usually teaches what we need to know. Keeping an open mind is important when you're struggling with a particularly difficult problem. A person, event or experience can put you in the realm of learning if you stay open to what you can learn. Hence the adage, “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” So, don't be intimidated when a problem arises. Instead, ask yourself what can be learned from the situation at hand. |
