Never let you emotions take the best of you

Perhaps one of the most important things you will learn in life is how to control your emotions. Too many people are unable to hold back and they let loose every chance they get. The effect this has in business is that it shows others that you have no self-control. It proves that you can't even control your own balls. So how the hell are you going to control employees and run a business?

If you can't manage yourself, you sure won't be able to manage others, and business is about people boys, remember that. It always comes down to people.

Logic vs. Emotion

People operate on two levels: rational and emotional. For most people, the emotional side is predominant. That is, they let their emotions and feelings rule their actions. Maybe they are just too lazy to think things through or they just don't have the brains to do so. Very few people live by logic, but it's these people that run the world. They calculate everything and don't let their feelings get in the way of getting the job done.

In this case I'm referring to controlling your temper. Some people will try to make you lose your balance and logic by making you first lose your temper. When you lose your cool, you don't think straight, and consequently do or say things that can hurt you and will regret later.

Control your emotions

Your goal isn't to stop feeling completely, but to no longer show the outside world that you are feeling anything on the emotional level. Emotions are usually communicated via body language and voice.

Thus, to control your emotions, you have to be aware of what your body is doing and what your mouth is saying.

Control what you say

It's easier to control what comes out of your mouth. When someone says something insulting, disagreeable or aimed at ticking you off, you should just say nothing, if possible.

You may be insulted, but remember; it's nothing personal. If you look at things from that perspective, nothing will ever insult you. In a gathering, if someone brings up phony arguments or rigged comments don't raise your voice and start yelling because it'll look like you've lost your head and your credibility will follow.

What you need to do is talk in your regular tone of voice and give rational arguments. Don't get inflamed at any point, just reason with the others. It may take time, but you will prevail.

Never say anything insulting back and never reply in a sarcastic way. You want the other guy to start wondering why he's not getting to you. He'll keep turning up the heat and he'll eventually look like the unreasonable fool.

Control what you do

Controlling your body language is not as simple. We all have "tells," that is, little body language signals that tell the other person how we are feeling and by extension, what we may be thinking. What you need to practice (and this takes time) is remaining in a normal state. You should look the same whether you get good news or bad. That way, the other person will never really know what you're thinking.

Pay close attention to your eyes, mouth, how fast you breathe, and how much you move your hands and feet. For example, if you tap your feet rapidly upon hearing bad news and never normally tap your feet, it's a dead giveaway that the news is bugging you.

Each time you lose control of your emotions, you are simply feeding the devil. And eventually the devil will be stronger and he will take you over. So keep your cool at all times, no matter how "justified" you would be in losing your marbles. And remember; it's nothing personal.

Your Instincts

We've all been in situations where we had to press the override button in our brain and follow our gut feeling. Our gut is there to outline the difference between profitable and non-profitable . Our brain can tackle all the other moral dilemmas everybody seems to care about.

When making a decision that affects your wallet, don't listen to your brain. Brains are there to remind you of people's names, as well as the PIN number of your bank account, not as a decision making tool.

If you are stuck on a decision, just follow your instincts and ignore the brain. Want to start a business? Forget what your banker says, if you think it will work, go for it. You have a funny feeling about your girlfriend? Show her the door.

There are some men that will argue that following your gut is what women do, except women call it following their feelings . So I ask this, out of the 50 times your wife or girlfriend accused you of cheating, wasn't she only right maybe 15 or 20 times?( not me) So much for women's instincts. They say men are logical and must think things through. Right.

True, we (men) are logical, and we should use some logic when making a decision. But be  smart, and know when to make decisions by using your gut. You might not always be right but at least you leave destiny in your hands. Who knows, that business you started could be making more profit than you thought, and maybe your girlfriend isn't as bad as you thought

Watch your back people and keep your noses clean.

Keep Your Word

 A man is only as good as his word. Once he breaks that, he’ll be lucky if he gets a backs home without being run down on the road. It’s a simple rule, but time and time again, we see guys breaking it. Some cafone says one thing, and he does another. Frankly, you can’t trust a guy like that. The foundation for being a reliable man is being a trusted one. The words that come out of your mouth should never be put into question it should like a saying goes in Hindi “Patthar ki lakeer”. Unfortunately, once you cross that line, all credibility is lost. So to avoid that free fall into the disastrous realm of sham, remember: Keep your word. If not, the only words you’ll have left are: “Would you like Poppadum with that?”

Never show your satisfaction

Though I’m not sure he ever ran a real family, one of the great compromiser, said: “A good compromise is when both parties are dissatisfied.” I don’t know about old fellow, but I’m rarely dissatisfied with my results -- I only act like I am.  The second you show satisfaction in your end of the deal is the second that greedy cafone will renege on his offer.  No one likes to think they came out on the bottom end of the deal. So when you get everything you hoped for, and then some, act like you still had to give up a little something. Some people behave like a monkey in the banana factory. You don’t need to do all that -- just make sure you don’t gloat

Prevention is Better than Cure



This is definitely a true fact. Moreover it should be a must in the “Finolhu” (Maldives)

 Last Friday I was at the one of the hospitals of this “Finolhu” with a friend. Please believe me when I say I had to wait for almost 02 and half hours. Once the consulting was finished everything else was quite quick. After the waiting was we were out of the place in less than 30minuts

I was so curious to find out what really was the matter. And I was shocked to find out that there were only TWO doctors servicing at the emergency OPD. In any organization there are always the administration guys and other supervisors, but I was not able to find any one and people shouting and getting angry with a poor girl at the Memo counter.

Since the health sector is one of the most important of all the sectors we find that the government basically begging the citizens to donate money to improve the health sector. And all the other secondary services sectors are well funded. What’s happening here? Where are those people who cared? Isn’t there anyone who is concerned????? Just a thought.

 

Clear Mind

Its always believed that somethings are dirty. But have you ever wondered why they are dirt. or what you can do to clean it.

For the longest time i have heard people say that politics is dirty. Among the people who talk non or perhaps almost no one is ready to get in and clean it. They just say things because they have God give gift. 

I have overheard people say that the strong should help the weaker, Is it in only war?? Isn't the real life a battle?? A battle where every one should help every on or each one should help each one. so i ask myself whose duty is to help the weaker citizens of this so called "Finolhu" (Maldives)
