Every Lifelong Learner Should Read These High-Impact Books

Lifelong learning is the “ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated” pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons. The pursuit of knowledge is easier than it has ever been before.

Cultivating the mind is essential for your personal growth. Digging deeper will separate you from the crowd and allow you to become a better version of yourself.

“If we are hunting the highest version of ourselves, then we need to turn work into play and not the other way around. Unless we invert this equation, much of our capacity for intrinsic motivation starts to shut down. We lose touch with our passion and become less than what we could be and that feeling never really goes away.”

The Benefits of Politeness

Humans are born with a brain that helps develop various means of communication. We are the only species of living things who can talk and exchange thoughts and ideas in the most effective manner. Hence effective communication is the key to relationship building, and polite mannerisms the key to effective communication.
In today’s modern world, there are prices for being rude. This is considered a very important way to be by a percentage of the younger generation which is a pity.

It is the first step of better cooperation to win battle.

Being polite reflects the personality that we are. It makes us look bigger, larger and more powerful than we are. Politeness is a virtue which far surpasses any other people management technique.
Politeness at workplace plays a very important role in making us more acceptable, more respectable and creating a better professional image.
Politeness at workplace plays a very important role in making us more acceptable, more respectable and creating a better professional image.
Let me tell you a story of a man whose life got saved simply by greeting the security guard who stood at the entrance of his office. One day that man had a sudden heart attack at his desk, but nobody noticed. Everyone left but the security guard came looking for him and found him in utter pain. He immediately arranged for medical care. His life was saved. When the man recovered, he asked the security guard, “How did you realize I was behind?”
The guard smiled and replied, “You did not come to wave me good bye. You always greeted me in the morning and before leaving the office.”
Well, if this could be the impact a simple greeting, then can you fathom the powers of very polite behavior and gesture being practiced daily at our workplace?
So, let’s see how we could leverage our polite conduct as an added advantage to our managerial qualities. We list down the benefits of being polite at workplace…

Politeness makes us approachable and easier to talk

Politeness at workplace makes up approachable. It will help us mobilize the synergies between various people in a team or across the teams.
Similarly, when others feel we could be open enough for opinions and discussions, we could develop a very good personnel ecosystem. There would be a free exchange of ideas that would enrich us professionally as well as personally.

Speaking politely keeps arguments at the bay

Speaking politely helps to avoid arguments. When there will be no discourteousness, there will only be discussions not altercations. This will lead to our positive self-image as well as excellent brand positioning.

Politeness projects our high EQ

Being polite reflects our control on our self. It also manifests our ability to maintain composure at all situations. This speaks volumes of our emotional quotient and projects us as people with very high levels of restraint and accord.

Job success is directly proportional to politeness

The ability to generate a good work force, motivate people to achieve targets are all the hidden in a chest, the key to which is politeness.

Polite people can regulate people actions and deliverables by their mere conduct which gives them better results personally and as a team.

Employees and colleagues willingly heed to the instructions given politely which facilitate getting the work done more easily. Simply put, adding words like, “please”, “kindly”, “would you mind” to any sentence or instruction makes it much polite than those without. People listen you with due respect.

Being polite makes us very adaptive in a new environment

Being polite makes us more adaptive as we are welcomed more easily in a new environment. People find it easier to make space for pleasant people and are always willing to help them blend into the new environment.

This is how politeness creates the magic. You can adapt and settle down quickly in your new office and you attract people to yourself.

Politeness infuses positivity in workplace

Being pleasant is a very important attribute to projecting ourselves impressively. It helps in creating a very positive aura around us that would go a long way in dynamic work environment.

Politeness can make you a leader

Politeness is one of the most important attributes that a good manager/boss must possess and develop it further always. Just like compassion, politeness is one of those must-have qualities of a good leader. It helps in the transition from some personnel to a manager very easily and then from team managers to mentors and leaders.

A Great “Cost to Benefit” Ratio

Finally, in these turbulent economic times most would argue that unnecessary strife and misunderstandings waste precious time and contribute added stress to our already high stress lives. Being polite, showing care and consideration towards others costs nothing, but the returns can be tremendous.

Remember: Being polite DOESN’T mean saying YES to everything

Being polite does not mean saying yes to everything. We must never over-commit or accept things beyond the realm of our deliverables.

That we are assertive is the key – courteous but assertive. Where not possible or not required for us to do anything, we must politely refuse. We could say, “Sorry, right now am too packed to be able to deliver what you are asking me to” or “I am sorry, but I will definitely get back”. These are subtle ways to refuse.

The whole summation is that we could be polite yet maintain our own stance at all points in time.

Your behavior is one of the reasons behind your professional as well as personal success. So, do not undermine the powers of being polite. Practice it daily.

Selling Ugly: Handy tips for sales personnel

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Making money is ultimately boring. You find a formula that works, and hit the repeat button.”
Sir Richard Branson

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brad Gilbert was a handy tennis player – never among the superstars but always around the top ten. But as a coach, he was phenomenal. He believes in the psychology of sport, and was instrumental in quelling Andre Agassi’s inner demons.
Brad Gilbert believed in “winning ugly”, and wrote a great book about it. Winning ugly is all about making the other guy lose, which is of course the same as winning. Gilbert was brilliant at keeping the ball in play, and slowing down the tempo to frustrate opponents into losing.
When Agassi played the almost unstoppable Pete Sampras, Gilbert encouraged him to lose the desire to hit the big winners. Instead he advised Agassi to simply get it back over the net and just make Sampras play that extra ball. It was exactly the right advice for the flamboyant Agassi. Pretty doesn’t always win.
Reading about Gilbert reminded me about the opening quote of this post, by Richard Branson, taken from his first book. You see, we sales people love the beautiful selling – the big pitches, the creative deal making, the exciting stretch and challenge that takes us out of our comfort zones.

**LEARN HOW TO CREATE HIGH PERFORMANCE INSIDE SALES 

Which is all good stuff. But it doesn’t always pay the bills. Exceeding your sales targets can be easier by “selling ugly”. Here are our top tips:
1) Double down on your best deals: Work out you’re the best deal shape – clients you can sell easily to, who get you, and with the best margin. And hit the replicate button. Find out more in tip 7 of this article.
2) Don’t reinvent just because it sounds repetitive to you: We see it all the time – salespeople who hit on the perfect approach and change it just for the sake of change. Don’t tinker with a winning formula. Work out how to have the same conversation more often. You can get creative in other aspects of your life.
3) Focus on the basics, not the fancy stuff: Salespeople, particularly the experienced ones, seek out advanced and quite complicated ways of selling because they think they have the basics covered. But sure enough, the quest for the ‘cream on the cake’ can often neglect the cake. What do the basics look like? How’s this for starters:

a) Get to the point quicker: You may be speaking too much. Try this for a structure: Statement, Example, Question. It will help you to vary your conversation and keep it engaging for your customers.

b) Get your pitch right: Your pitch needs to be simple enough to be understood by a six year old. And it needs to make the buyer excited, to move them to take action. Is your pitch as clear and memorable as it could be?

c) Find amazing proof points: Your customers need to hear that other customers have been incredibly successful using your products and services. You can thread nuggets of proof through your conversations that will get heads nodding and wallets opening.

d) Study your customer journey: Exactly how do your customers go through their buying cycle? And how can you be there in a clear and persuasive way at every milestone?

e) Be a social media beast: Dedicate 30 minutes every day to linking to influential people and learning the rhythm of your industry. Become a thought-leader by publishing articles and soaking up the language and challenges of your customers.

Remember, making money is boring, but someone has to do it! Selling ugly might just be the best advice you ever hear!

Manager’s Advice – Funny Story !!!

Understanding Altruism

Psychologists typically define altruism as a selfless interest for the good and welfare of others, that leads to such prosocial behaviors as cooperation, helping and sharing.

Acting with an unselfish regard for others doesn't always come naturally, even though many psychologists believe we're hard-wired for empathy. After all, cooperative behavior did allow our ancestors to survive under harsh conditions. But most of us realize that when we make the effort to give without expectations of reciprocity, we feel fulfilled and energized. To help others is a constant choice you can make every day. Giving money to someone on the street, helping the elderly cross the road, help someone get something off the shelf at the grocery store are all examples of altruistic behaviors. Putting others before yourself and acting in an unselfish manner.

What is Altruistic Behavior?

Altruistic behaviors are selfless acts that put the wellbeing of others before yourself and not expecting anything in return. This could be anything from helping someone reach something in the grocery store to giving someone in need an organ. More recently people have thought as altruistic behaviors as something that can be beneficial for both parties. An example someone volunteering at a hospital and can also put the experience on their college application.

Explanation of altruistic behaviors through biological reasoning.

It turns out that empathy does have something to do with altruistic behaviors. Empathy is a strong determinate for altruistic behaviors that motivate individuals to behave altruistically. This basis of sympathetic and moral concerns for others drives people to act altruistically. When you engage in altruistic behaviors, you feel more fulfilled and energized. These feelings also occur when you watch someone engage in altruistic behaviors due to the mirror neurons. Even though empathy and altruistic behaviors are not the same, they are intertwined.

Empathy is the understanding of someone else’s perspective or rather putting you into someone else’s shoes. Empathy focuses more so on emotions. This is because the origin of empathy comes from the Greek word empaths which can be broken down into me– and pathos meaning feelings and emotion. As discussed earlier in this article, the origin of altruism is not attached to any sort of emotion. On a neurological level, the emotion center of the brain such as the amygdala, insula, and striatum are activated when someone displays an act of empathy. There is even a special type of neuron that fires: mirror neurons. Mirror neurons help reproduce emotions that you are seeing being expressed by others.

The question of why human beings is sometimes prepared to risk their own lives to save others has puzzled philosophers and scientists for centuries. From an evolutionary point of view, altruism doesn’t seem to make any sense. According to the modern Neo-Darwinian view, human beings are basically selfish. After all, we are only really ‘carriers’ of thousands of genes, whose only aim is to survive and replicate themselves. We shouldn’t be interested in sacrificing ourselves for others, or even in helping others. It’s true that, in genetic terms, it’s not necessarily self-defeating for us to help people close to us, our relatives or distant cousins—they carry many of the same genes as us, and so helping them may help our genes to survive.

All acts of altruism are spiritual acts, in that they affirm and enhance our essential oneness.

To sum up, to truly be of service to someone, we must first focus on the other person’s needs and not on our own. We can then try and put ourselves in others’ shoes to find out what they really need, with the sole intention to do good. Thus, we realise that altruism is first and foremost an inner disposition to want what is best for others; it is the process of developing love for our fellow human beings.

Science is finally catching up to Spirituality.

CHANGE YOUR PARADIGM CHANGE YOUR LIFE

“Most paradigms are developed when we are young, naïve, and relatively powerless. They are often based on the inaccurate interpretations of childhood experiences. Since they are often unconscious, they are rarely evaluated or updated. Perhaps most significantly, they are assumed to be 100 percent accurate — even when they are not.”

You feel you’ve tried your best. Yet you’re still not getting the results — what could be wrong? 

You must be operating with the wrong paradigm. 

This means, if you work around a system ineffective to your goals, you won’t get the results you want.

The philosopher Thomas Kuhn suggested that a paradigm includes “the practices that define a scientific discipline at a certain point in time.” Paradigms contain all the distinct, established patterns, theories, common methods and standards that allow us to recognize an experimental result as belonging to a field or not.

The Meaning of Life: A Paradigm Shift

At some point during their lifetime, most people begin to concern themselves with living a meaningful life. They find themselves wanting to see some sort of purpose to their existence.

Don’t wait for someone to come and tell you how to live, or for some absolute purpose to reveal itself to you. It’s a dead-end strategy. Don’t deny your natural freedom. Instead, make the most of it. Be the active designer of your life, from top to bottom.

But before you get started, you have to be clear on a few things.

First, remember that a paradigm is a multitude of habits that are lodged in your subconscious mind.

Second, you must change the paradigm in the same way it was created—through repetition of information.

And, third, you must understand that to change a paradigm you have to consciously and deliberately replace a “bad” habit with a good habit. Otherwise, you’re going to form another bad habit because nature abhors a vacuum.
