Reap what you propagate
When you treat a person the way they are, the will stay the way they are
When you treat a person the way you want them to be, they might become what they should be...
Continuing the thought from previous post, there is no alternate to get someone to do what you like them to do. You must treat them right, if you want them to treat you right. Ironically you control the outcome to any relationship. It is up to you to change the outcome if you are not getting what you are looking for out of any endeavor. Please see KFC to get further insight on that. You are quite powerful. Some people might argue that people are stubborn, difficult to change etc. But what are the chances you will ever get them to do what you like them to do any other way?
have a great weekend u all!

Love people
What? Love people? That.s right! Why? Because if you are going to get to the top, u are going to need other people to help you out. Be a jerk and you will find people dragging their feet on you. Treat them right and you will find them helping you and even cheering you on!
Perhaps a course or two on interpersonal relationship to sharpen up communicating skills will not be a bad idea. After all we need people, people bring us in this world, people feed us, people pay us, people work with us, people make relationships with us, you get the point!
have a great day! (:

Next time you go out to get a desired result, don't forget to take a bag of KFC along. It might increase chances of having a successful encounter.
I think this applies greatly to communication. Whenever going to a difficult conversation, do some brainstorming to find out the ideal outcome and accordingly seek it. As they say "People never plan to fail, they just fail to plan."
wishing you better day than good!
Know what you want
Find out if you are getting what you want
Change in order to get what you want

Say "no" to "no"
Through my experience, I thought this might be something to write upon.. sometimes we should opt to say no to no.
Problem with answering questions or request with the word "no," is that it can set off a chain of negative events. Therefore, the next time you're tempted to say "no," consider that there is usually an alternative "yes." For example, if someone asks you to help out with a problem, it's better to refer them to someone who can lend a hand rather than say you can't help.
It has amazed me how many times we try to get through to others without any success. Remember, not answering your emails and voice mails is usually taken as an implied "no." Making it a policy to acknowledge the message in a reasonable amount of time, which will build goodwill and show you are attentive to others' needs. It can also earn some respect and appreciation.
Its a wonderful weekend,

5 Cs of successful communication
Pat Croce an author and sales speaker came up with 5 C's of successful communication. I thought its worth sharing them.
Clear - speaking straight, in black or white avoids assumptions, and lets your directives, directions, instructions and interpretations come through clearly.
Concise - Rambling on and on shuts off listeners and jeopardizes the important messages you are trying to convey.
Consistent - Nothing frustrates people more than if you change your message to meet the moods of the day. Don't let other person you talk to sway what you are going to say. Make up your mind and convey it clearly.
Credible - A message must be credible. People have a nose for sniffing out implausible statements and ideas.
Courteous - Simple words and phrases such as "hello," "please," "excuse me," are some of the most important and effective expressions in the English language. Use them as often as you can. It doesn't take much effort to be courteous and to demonstrate respect to others.
I think that is some good start for better communication. For any relationship to develop and prosper it is must to have good communication. Understanding only develops for communicating. I personally have had unsuccessful times with others and if I can pin point to the cause I can certainly say when the communication link broke that's when my relationship with others deteriorated. Now I emphasis more on communicating successfully.
Hope everyone had a great weekend, have a even better week ahead... take care/
