“Running a multi-million dollar business can be frustrating at times, especially when someone does something I am not happy with. It might not even be their fault, but it is human nature to reach in an angry or heated way. However, I have learned an important and effective lesson. Rather than complain to my member of staff about their actions, I search my memory bank for things I find wonderful about them. This changes the energy around the issue instantly. People tend to live up to what you expect of them.” PeopleWayHumansDoeImportantMightRunningActionEnergyMemoriesMillionsIssuesWonderfulHuman NatureLessonsMembersAngryDollarsFaultsComplainingI Have LearnedStaffFrustratingMillion DollarsNot Happy Author:Vishen Lakhiani

“Any comprehensive doctrine, religious or secular, can be introduced into any political argument at any time, but I argue that people who do this should also present what they believe are public reasons for their argument. So their opinion is no longer just that of one particular party, but an opinion that all members of a society might reasonably agree to, not necessarily that they would agree to. What's important is that people give the kinds of reasons that can be understood and appraised apart from their particular comprehensive doctrines.” PeopleGivingShouldBelieveKindImportantReasonMightPoliticalReligiousPartyOpinionParticularMembersUnderstoodArgumentAgreeArguingDoctrineSecularComprehensiveWhat's ImportantPolitical Arguments Author:John Rawls
