‘There are three keys to more abundant living: caring about others, daring for others and sharing with others’ - Bill Ward
Thick-skinned people go through life half-dead. Being sensitive allows others to get to you. And that’s when you can get to them too. To manage success is to manage people. No man is an island. There are people around who have to do with your success. Your success in dealing with them determines how success will deal with you.
Dealing positively and effectively with people is built on sensitivity, alertness: knowing what the other person is feeling, knowing when there’s a word out on you, knowing when and where to speak or keep quiet. The extent to which you will enjoy others depends on how sensitive you are.
A sensitive man hardly ever overlooks potentials. You can’t see potentials in someone or something unless you are alert. Josh Billings said it all when he said that learning sleeps and wakes in libraries but wisdom is everywhere wide awake on tip-toe. No one will give you the things you need most on a platter of gold. If anybody does that, he’s either a Good Samaritan or he didn’t know that’s what you need, otherwise he would not give you.
Everyone wants something in return for what they do. That is why someone said that whatever God can get through you He can get to you! So, feel!
‘People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care’ - John Cassis
