How are you going to introduce the Interaction Method into your organization? You can’t go charging into a meeting tomorrow and say, “Hold it, everybody, we’re going to change the way we run our meetings!” People and organizations don’t like sudden changes. Don’t set yourself up for certain failure by rushing off and trying to change your meetings without a plan. ..more

Often when we decide we want something, we want it now, and when we do not get it straight away, we feel that life is unfair, that we have been treated unjustly, even cheated. Sometimes we convince ourselves that it is because others, and even forces beyond us, do not want us to have what we want. In choosing to believe that we have been singled out, we may rationalise that we must do unto others before they do unto us, or, at the very least, get in first before others, rather than adhere to the Golden Rule of treating others as we would wish to be treated. In taking things personally, we convince ourselves that the acquisition of our desires is at the mercy of the inquisition by others. ..more

We must seek to cultivate infinite patience through being certain about our outcomes, while simultaneously being unconcerned as to when and how. This involves understanding our relationships with everything around us. In the same way that a drop of water taken from the ocean has the characteristics of its source, so each of us are actually part of an Infinite Universal Spirit.

Throughout the ages numerous cultures have referred to the Spiritual Force that dwells in everything. ..more

Do What’s Right

Your job is one of the toughest proving grounds for your integrity. Behavior that’s clearly wrong at home or among friends is often standard conduct at the workplace. Work is where many people who disapprove of lying, cheating, and stealing have no problem calling in sick when they aren’t, stretching the hours on their time cards, or taking home merchandise that’s not theirs.

Behave according to what you know, not according to the code of ethics that you see others following. ..more

True confession: I’ve hated every job I’ve ever had . . . for the first month. The first days in a new job are miserable; I forget everyone’s name, and when I do remember, I get them mixed up—”My name’s not Ralph—it’s Rebecca!” I become so self- conscious that I not only forget everything I’ve just been taught but everything I’ve ever been taught: multiplication tables, how to tie shoes, and the whole concept of opening the door before I attempt to leave the room.

But the condition is only temporary. After the first month I become normal again (relatively speaking) and start to enjoy the job.

Most employers understand that your first few weeks may be rough, and they generally cut you some slack. But there comes a time when you had better do your job right; if you want to keep it, you’ll have to deliver. ..more

I’m about to tell you some stuff that a lot of people don’t want you to know. You see, youth marketers are growing filthy rich off your hard-earned cash, and what I’m going to tell you will foil their schemes. That’s because the three investment tricks you’re about to learn will show you how to invest more of your money into your future, not theirs. If you follow my advice, you won’t be putting any of them out of business. But if a bunch of readers like you try these tricks, a few of them might have to drive BMWs instead of Lambourghinis. What a shame.

Here’s another shame. These tricks are so simple, you’d think that more people would try them. But most people don’t. Instead, they squander all their cash on stupid purchases, then complain that the rich keep getting richer, while they just keep getting poorer. It doesn’t take an economics degree to figure out that those marketers keep getting richer off their money— money that they practically throw at them. ..more
