Motivational: There Should Be Less Talk, Mother Theresa

There Should Be Less Talk, Mother Theresa - EQ at Work

Written by Susan Dunn, The EQ Coach

Emotional intelligence involves many separate competencies. One of them is compassion or empathy. You might think of it as ^soft.^ Well, actually some people think of emotional intelligence as ^soft.^

Which brings up an interesting point. In repparttar Strengths e-course I offer, I ask repparttar 123617 learners to name repparttar 123618 major strength of different well-known people. Last week I asked about Mother Theresa. Pamela Sheppard replied: “The standard is compassion, but, having had repparttar 123619 chance to actually see her in action, I have to add mental toughness, clarity of intention and economy of action. She was Holy Hell on Wheels, and thank God for that! --- and anyone else pales beside her.”

I was intrigued and emailed Pamela back. Had she seen Mother Theresa? What was it like?

Pamela wrote back: “Yes. I met Mother Theresa in Tijuana, where she set up her seminary for repparttar 123620 Order she had tried to start. This tiny woman didn’t waste a nanosecond on anyone like me … Her energy was given to repparttar 123621 poorest participants, who had nothing but their faith. This alone made for one of repparttar 123622 most inspiring afternoons I have ever or will ever experience.

“But beyond that, I witnessed her working with repparttar 123623 man appointed head of repparttar 123624 Brothers there. He sat, she paced; animated, vigorous, passionate about whatever it was she was discussing with him. She was unmistakably in command. I will NEVER forget it. Everything I read about her since that time has more resonance, more depth, more meaning in repparttar 123625 light of her as this Commander in Chief.”

Believe That You Deserve To Be Wealthy

============================================================ Believe That You Deserve To Be Wealthy

- by Stuart Goldsmith

You are lost if you do not believe that having money is a good thing.

You need repparttar self-confidence and focus to follow your dream and this will be fatally undercut if you have repparttar 123616 wrong philosophy of life and money.

No amount of effort on your part will overcome a faulty philosophy. If, deep down, you believe that wealth is a sin or that money is dirty, or wicked then repparttar 123617 first step is for you to correct this error or give up all hopes of wealth for you and your family.

What is a 'wrong' philosophy with regard to making money?

Anything which could be described as altruistic, socialist, collectivist, communist or any one of its thousand manifestations no matter what repparttar 123618 label, no matter what repparttar 123619 disguise, no matter what repparttar 123620 smoke screen.

Without exception, every self-made millionaire I have met was a rugged individualist. Most of them despised government, although many were clever enough not to say so in public. And believe me, there were approximately zero socialists amongst them.

A socialist, whatever he calls himself, is someone who believes that brute force should be used to loot from repparttar 123621 productive, in order to provide handouts for repparttar 123622 unproductive. No matter how you disguise it, or make it look fancy, that's repparttar 123623 plain truth of repparttar 123624 socialist doctrine.

I believe that it is impossible for you to attempt to get rich if you have some nagging doubt that money is repparttar 123625 root of all evil, that Capitalism is bad or that wealth should be divided up amongst repparttar 123626 needy. You have surrendered repparttar 123627 philosophical high ground if you sign up for any of these positions.
