How to be cynical

We live in an age where cynicism is thought to be sophisticated.

In order to be truly cynical, you have to be totally convinced that the world, the people in it, and even yourself, are only out for themselves and can never be trusted.

Cynicism in its purest form totally rules out the possibility of hope, solutions and winning in life. David Letterman without the humor.

Instead: In no way am I suggesting that we should all approach the world like naive, young children. Any negative taken to the opposite extreme is still a negative. Instead, keeping a healthy skepticism protects you and leaves you open for the possibility of hope,

How to be comparative

Anyone who has ever been comared to a sibling, teammate or co-worker knows just how fun it is to be round this kind of person.

“If only you were more like …”

Since this worked so well in childhood, why not use it as an adult.

Other good comparative things to say are:

“This time is not as fun as last time”

“The way you do it here is not nearly as good as we did back there.”

Remember to say these and all comparative statements with
an air of superiority, nose slightly turned up.

Instead: Start with what is working and/or is good about the situation, and then ask the powerful and rarely asked question:

“How could we make this even better?”

Think you can control your career success? Think again. You can’t. No, your success is in the hands of a plethora of other people, some of whom you have identified, others you probably have not. Don’t ever forget this: Successful relationships with the right people more than anything else in your life will determine your immediate and future success. Your boss of course. A key customer. A fast-track subordinate. Even that pimply intern who may give you a thumbs down when she turns up as assistant to the chairman in a future job.

Each relationship, whether career or personal, has a terminal life of its own. If a successful relationship is to have a long, fruitful life, it must be nurtured with no less devotion that a mother gives her child. Otherwise even the most successful personal relationships eventually die of malnutrition.

What’s required here is direct, personal, continuous contact with your personal relationships. Letters are fine. Phone calls are great. E-mails are helpful. But nothing beats personal, continuous and, to the extent possible, face-to-face-contact.

Here’s something that may be an eye-opener. Write the names of five or more people with whom you believe you have successful relations.

Under Direct, write how long it has been — hours, days, weeks, months? — since you were in direct contact with this person. Under Personal write how long it’s been since you were face to face with this person. And under Continuous write the time lapse between the last three times you were in touch, one way or another. Now write down the actions you are going to take — and when — to correct any personal relationship weakness you’ve uncovered.

Bet you’ll have a better job a year from now than you have now.

This morning you made up your mind that everything would be different from now on. You will be a successful and happy person. This decision is the crucial in your life as it may really change your life and surprise you with the results. It is really possible but only if you take it seriously. If you change your behavior and your purposes, your life position is not as it used to be any more. Your aims are changing and your self-confidence is growing. You can do it. A lot of difficulties and trials are awaiting you on the path to success and to reach the final destination, keep in mind the three principles. They will support you when you are ready to give up.

See your aim. I mean really imagine it. Visualize the situation in the slightest details, very vividly. Concentrate thoroughly on the created image. To free the power of your sub consciousness, remember that you are to have a clear picture of your desire in your mind. 2. Set programs for yourself. No one will be able to persuade you better that you. If you say “I can’t “, so you won’t be able to do it. The effort is not even worth taking. Say: “I can “and believe in it and you will see what you can be. Do not waste your time on looking back in the past and leave no space for regret in your life. Remind yourself that you are close to start everything from the beginning again. Your brains are extremely active and they are meant to solve your problems. And it really does it well.

To foster confidence, to realize our dreams, to choose the life we really want to live - we need to grow up several acorns, several ideas. Consider that your mind consists of two halves: one - consciousness and the other is sub consciousness. If we create a clear image or formulate our desire precisely, this image or desire like a seed flowing along the lake finally finds the way to our sub consciousness. As soon as the desire slips into our sub consciousness we start to act. The desire becomes a real power. Our sub consciousness possesses strong energy; it functions as a spur to our actions. Once sub consciousness receives the aim, it strives to achieve it. Human beings are inclined to become what they think they are. If you see yourself as a successful person you will become one. 3. Pretend. Even if you are not successful now act as if you were successful. Your mind is not only looking for the ways to make you what you want to be, it also gives you incentive to act. Let the brains do their work, that is to solve the problems, make plans and imagine the future.
