Factors Which Influence People

A Tata, Ambani, Bajaj, or a Birla accumulates a fortune through the application of the same principles that are available to all of us. We envy their wealth without ever thinking of studying their philosophy and appropriating it to our own use. We look at a successful man at the hour of his triumph and not when he was struggling. ‘Ideas’ are the beginning of all successful achievements. For example, Henry Ford founded the philosophy that one need not pay the minimum wages to a worker, but maximum wages as the profits will permit. There are lots of us who want money but we don’t know how to earn it. That is because we have not bothered to discover ourselves, our talents, abilities, skills which are lying dormant. Once you arouse them, experiment with them, play with them, you will know how to use them. The chief factors which influences a person to develop his ability to act, function and operate effectively can be classified as follows: 1. One should develop the habit of finding out the good qualities in the other person and speak about them freely and openly. 2. Conversation is an art to speak with

conviction and persuasion. 3. It would be worthwhile to develop a

positive attitude exuding optimism. 4. Fifthly, radiate warmth through your expression, enthusiasm and exuberance. 5. Attract other people by attracting

yourself to them. 6. Know what you are doing, love what you are doing and believe in what you are doing. 7. Take other’s help when needed but

on your own terms. 8. Be clear in your mind what you

want to achieve. 9. Reward yourself when you achieve

something. 10. Be honest to yourself. Life is a continuous challenge. The tide of life can be turned not through luck and circumstances but catching it at the flood and generating the power to create events and making them yield results.
