Never Argue With A Fool – They Will Drag You Down To Their Level, Then Beat You With

Never Argue With A Fool – They Will Drag You Down To Their Level, Then Beat You With
Do you feel like every time you get involved in an argument, you have got to win? If you know that someone is wrong, and you have a solution, do you feel like, you’ve to argue with them until they embrace your point? You can try, but if the person you’re arguing with is a fool, you will be hitting your head against a rock! It won’t work.

You don’t need to win an argument. If someone doesn’t want to listen to you, leave them be. If you tell them your point, and they don’t want to listen, keep quiet and let it go! I admit there are some who need a little convincing to get your point, but there are those who are simply fools, who take pride in arguing; believing they are always right. Don’t waste your time with those.

I’ll admit, there are some arguments that are constructive, when both parties are seeking a solution. Those kinds of arguments are rewarding. Both parties will be helping each other to come out with a better solution. But, in most cases, people argue for the sake of arguing. Arguing for the sake of arguing, is a waste of time.

There are people in this world you just need to ignore if they behave or act in a foolish manner. They take pride in making other people angry. They enjoy winning arguments no matter how wrong or ignorant they might be. Some of them know which buttons to press to get you angry, and if you decide to argue with them, you’ll be heading towards their trap.

Fools like to see you getting angry, swearing, speaking negative words or getting involved in a fight with them. They do what they do fully aware that they’re tickling you to get upset. Trying to argue with those guys, thinking they might get your point or understand how you do things, will not work. Don’t try to prove anything to them. Your only solution is to watch, listen, observe and keep your mouth shut.

If you feel tempted to answer to a fool, don’t do it. Ignore them, even if you feel like screaming to them. Your silence will prevent you from converting to their cult of foolishness. If you argue with a fool, you’ll become a fool just like them, and you’ll make a fool of yourself!

Some people, you just have to let them be. Let them behave the way they do, let them say whatever they want to say against you, let them go behind your back and say all those lies about you. You don’t need to fight them. That’s exactly what they will be looking for from you. Don’t even go around trying to justify yourself to the world about your innocence. Leave it like that.

IT IS BEST TO BE THOUGHT A FOOL….THEN SPEAK AND REMOVE ALL DOUBT……

Learn a great habit of keeping your mouth shut whenever a fool is in front of you. Let them do the talking, and you do the ignoring!

Money has no Memory.............

Money has no memory. Experience has. You will never know what was the total cost of your education, but for a lifetime you will recall and relive the memories of schools and colleges. Few years from now, you will forget the amount you paid to settle the hospitalization bill, but will ever cherish having saved your mother's life or the life you get to live with the just born. You won't remember the cost of your honeymoon, but to the last breath remember the experiences of the bliss of togetherness. Money has no memory. Experience has.

Good times and bad times, times of prosperity and times of poverty, times when the future looked so secure and times when you didn't know from where the tomorrow will come. life has been in one way or the other a roller-coaster ride for everyone. Beyond all that abundance and beyond all that deprivation, what remains is the memory of experiences. Sometimes the wallet was full, sometimes even the pocket was empty. There was enough and you still had reasons to frown. There wasn't enough and you still had reasons to smile. Today, you can look back with tears of gratitude for all the times you had laughed together, and also look back with a smile at all the times you cried alone. All in all, life filled you with experiences to create a history of your own self, and you alone can remember them all.

The first time you balanced yourself on your cycle without support

The first gift you bought for your parents and the first gift your sibling gave you

The first award the first public appreciation the first stage speech

The first day in college the first day at work the first adventure

And the list is endless Experiences, with timeless memory

No denying that anything that's material costs money; still the fact remains the cost of the experience will be forgotten, but the experience will never be.

So, what if it's economic recession? Let it be, but let there not be a recession to the quality of your life. You can still take your parents & grand parents, if not on a pilgrimage, at least to the local temple. You can still play with your children, if not on an international holiday, at least in the local park. It doesn't cost money to lie down or to take a loved one onto your lap. Nice time to train the employees, create leadership availability and be ready for the wonderful times when they arrive. Hey! Aspects like your health, knowledge development and spiritual growth are not economy dependent.

Time will pass economy will revive currency will soon be in current and in all this, I don't want you to look back and realize you did nothing but stayed in gloom.

Recession can make you lose out on money. Let it not make you lose out on experiences. If you are not happy with what you have, no matter how much more you have, you will still not be happy.

Make a statement with the way you live your life: How I feel has nothing to do with how much I have.

Start that business?

Create that product?

Learn that language?

You need to get going, you need to get started and when I say get started, I mean get started! No more putting things off for later or when you feel like you want to. You need to get started now! There is no point of speaking about it, telling everyone about it, planning it and doing nothing!

If you don’t act, your life will remain the same, conditions will remain the same and your results will be the same. No Activity, No Success!

Your only option is to take massive action!

Pascal’s Night of Fire

Pascal’s Night of Fire

Blaise Pascal was an influential scientist who lived in the 1600’s. He was something of a genius. For example, at the age of twelve, even before he had received any formal training in geomoetry, Pascal independently discovered and demonstrated Euclid’s thirty-two propositions. Pascal was also a Christian.

When he died in 1662 his servant found a small piece of parchment sewn into his coat. At the top of the paper Pascal had drawn a cross. Underneath the cross were these words:

In the year of the Lord 1654
Monday, November 23
From about half-past ten in the evening until half-past twelve.
Fire
God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob
Not of philosophers nor of the scholars.
Certitude. Certitude. Feeling. Joy, Peace.
God of Jesus Christ,
My God and thy God.
"Thy God shall be my God."
Forgetfulness of the world and of everything, except God.
He is to be found only by the ways taught in the Gospel.
Greatness of the soul of man.
"Righteous Father, the world hath not known thee,
but I have known thee."
Joy, joy, joy, tears of joy.
Jesus Christ.
I have fallen away: I have fled from Him,
denied Him, crucified him.
May I not fall away forever.
We keep hold of him only by the ways taught in the Gospel.
Renunciation, total and sweet.
Total submission to Jesus Christ and to my director.
Eternally in joy for a day’s exercise on earth.
I will not forget Thy word. Amen.

That was Pascal’s record of an intense two-hour religious experience that he kept secret until his death. It was an experience of God that gripped his soul and changed the course of his life. He stored his record of it in the lining of his coat, close to his heart. For eight years he took care to sew and unsew it every time he changed his coat. It was a treasured experience, something he could return to again and again.
Similarly, we can take those experiences of God that we have - transforming moments - and hang onto them as gifts from God to energize and motivate our faith.

How to Develop the Drive of a Genius

Steve Jobs has a secret.

If you don't recognize his name, he's the CEO of Apple Computer and Pixar Animation Studios (creator of the first computer animated feature film, Toy Story).

By any standards, he is a very successful man. Not just in the business world, but at home as well. The great thing about amazing success like his is that it leaves clues.

What do I mean? Let me explain a little further.

Steve Jobs is driven. He's someone who can pick a goal and feel powerfully motivated to do whatever it takes to make it happen. Now, wouldn't you like to be able to do that?

I'm guessing you would, but the truth is that a most driven people either don't know what motivates them or never get the chance to personally share their secrets with us.

Steve Jobs is different.

Some time ago he gave a commencement speech at Stanford University, and in the last part of his talk he told the students his secret, the principle that kept him going with such passion and power.

I want to share it with you today so you can enjoy the same kind of success and happiness.



When the Idea Hit Him


At just 17 years old, Jobs read a quote that really hit home, so much so that it changed the way he looked at his life forever. As he recalled in his speech, it went
something like this...

'If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.'

In other words, you're not going to live forever. Most people avoid this truth like the plague, but that's the worst mistake you can make because it's one of the most
powerful tools you can use to live a truly remarkable life.

There are so many things you want to do, but because of fear, you aren't going after them like you know you could be.

You're holding back, sticking to your comfort zone to avoid failure, embarrassment, and pain. But as Steve Jobs put it,these fears fall away when faced with the fact that one day you'll run out of chances to go for it.

And he's right.

You may be afraid of going all out, but if you really think about it, I believe you're more afraid of never giving it a try at all. The only problem is that we don't think about it that way. We like to fool ourselves into believing that we have forever and a day to do the things we want to do.

We don't.

When Succeeding Feels Like Failure, Here's Why

Did you ever wonder why people with less smarts than you,
less experience than you, who aren't as good looking as
you, who are a lot younger than you, with less education
than you achieve more, do more, have more, give more, and
enjoy themselves more than you do?

OK, yes, some of them have the brown-nosing thing down
pat, but that only takes a person so far. And it's not
very far, in the big scheme of things.

Allow me to share with you a bit of the puzzle...

The buzz word now in the personal development/self help
field today is 'automatically.' "As in, I'll teach you
about wealth and then money will 'automatically' be
attracted to you" Or "I'll teach you how to eat in a way
that the pounds will 'automatically' fall off you."

Okie dokie.

But does that happen?

Not usually.

Only IF you were to learn and apply whatever is being
sold, indeed, these desired results would automaticaly
happen.

But not just by osmosis.

You see, we buy hundreds of 'how-to' programs for our
research, we subscribe to hundreds of newsletters, and I
know personally hundreds of people from hundreds of
companies that sell them. Good products. Good companies.
Good people.

But I need to tell you straight...

None of it happens automatically.

Primarily because no matter what you know, success at
EVERYTHING takes more than knowledge of what to do.

Because if just knowing WHAT to do guaranteed success,
everyone who graduates from college would be massively
successful, everyone who takes any home-study courses will
be an expert on the topic, psychotherapy would make
everyone feel super fantastic and be done with it in a
month or two.

But none of this is true.

Because belief systems put limits on what you do and what
we can achieve, no matter how intelligent you are.

Attitudes stop you from reaching higher even though the
success you want is within your grasp.

Conflicting emotions can make the easiest decisions and
tasks feel nearly impossible.

Self defeating thoughts just "pop in" at the last second
to wipe out certain victory.

One of the biggest culprits is fear of success.

Why on earth would anyone fear success?

Hundreds of reasons.

Like:

- My family gives me **** about the way I eat, dress, talk
- Friends don't treat me the same anymore
- I have way too many responsibilities now
- I'm forced to work with people I hate
- I "never" get to see my family, friends, etc anymore
- I can't ever eat X food on this plan
- I don't feel right living in this big house, neighborhood
- I'd have to speak in public... no way
- It's too risky
- The pressure of performing/winning will be too great
- Everyone will treat me differently
- I'll be seen as a greedy money-grubber
- I won't like myself if I get everything I want

In fact, we uncovered just a tad under 800 core reasons
that can make success at any venture feel like failure.

There are easily over 3,000 other peripheral/ associated
implications that can be real or conjured up in the mind
relating to the "negatives" about succeeding in the various
areas or roles of life.

And they all make succeeding feel like failing.

Just one, suddenly being different than your friends, is
enough all by itself to keep you from going for some really
juicy goal.

Smokers keep going because their friends do it.

Fat people stay fat because if they would lose the shared
experience of eating with their fat friends.

Leaving our broke friends behind is often the single
biggest reason for keeping our own financial situation just
the way it is.

All these "fear of success" failure patterns play out in
every single area of life.

That means that it's devastating.

Fear of success, whatever caused it and keeps it alive in
your mind is easily one of the most common and most
detrimental of all the reasons why people don't become more
in their lifetimes.


There is simply no better, faster, easier method for
rising above the limiting invisible, yet very real, beliefs
that keep you from being the person you dreamed about many
years ago.

And if eliminating your limiting automatic responses to
decisions and activities that would bring you more
accomplishment, joy and rewards weren't enough.

Because if growth isn't THE purpose of life, it's right up
there on the list.
