8. Be Grateful "A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving." This is one of my favorite Albert Einstein quotes because it shows how grateful he really was. I truly believe that everyone who is grateful receives greatness in life, and this quote stands behind my belief. Everything you do today is possible because of other people. People have given their life, time, energy, money, sweat, tears, and love so that you can read this article right now, have clean water, have freedom, have the ability to learn whatever you want, and have rights that help you shape the …show more content…
Why? Because when you change, you have to move outside of your comfort zone. You have to gather new experience and learn new things, and that makes you a smarter and more well-rounded human. The people who resist change can't develop new skills, new insights, and new beliefs in their life. They stay stuck while the people changing grow and become more knowledgeable about their life and other people's lives too. 14. Create Boundaries In Life "The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits." A lot of people think that geniuses lack a sense of judgement, but the truth is that they are just willing to push things a little harder than others. They are willing to try new things, within reason. They are willing to look at things differently, as long as there is a reason to look at it that way. However, they do have boundaries in place where they will not do stuff that will harm themselves or others in the process. Without boundaries, it can be really easy to do stupid things. You may feel like you are showing the world how genius you are, but in reality you are just putting your happiness, health, or sanity at risk. 15. Stop Doing What Doesn't
Change is good." We hear the catchy phrase everywhere. From company slogans to motivational speeches, our world seems to impose this idea that change is always a good thing. Assuming that the change is for the better, it is probably a true statement in most cases. The root of this idea seems to come from the notion that we are dissatisfied with the state that we are in, so, in order to create a more enjoyable surrounding, we adjust. Others, however, stray from this practice, and instead of trying to adapt to the people around them, they try and change others.
A genius is a person who is exceptionally intelligent or creative. One of the most famous geniuses of all time, Albert Einstein, had an IQ of 160. An individual who is considered a genius, has an IQ of 160 and up. Also mentioned in Gladwell’s book,Outliers:The Story of Success,is Christopher Langan. With an IQ of 195,Christopher Langan, is considered the smartest man in America.
The promise of change motivates certain people to make immediate changes in their life for the better. When given the opportunity
Many people are resistant to change. They become comfortable with their lives and don’t dare to venture outside of the box.
Humans are opposed to change, for at each moment in history, we like to think our paradigms for the universe and the heavens hold the absolute good and truth. It comes down to a question of pride. In order to change a paradigm, we have to admit that the previous paradigm was wrong; The longer it has been in place, the harder this is. Like a lie, the longer it is maintained the harder it is to tell the truth, for longevity requires investment of...
For many, change is a cause for ignorance. Most of us fear the idea of change. When one is faced to deal with c...
...on't want it too. The point of change is to remember that we cant do things alone and that is why Jesus Christ died for us so we wont have to walk this world alone and in fear and that is why in times of change we trust him.
Individuals resist change because they fear what will happen to them. Members of individual impediments to change have been uncovered through research conducted in organizational settings.
...ny one individual. You might ask three people what their personal definition of change is and receive three different answers. Some people offer very little resistance to change, they consider it the spice of life; it prevents stagnancy and maintains excitement through diversity. Some people view change like the U.S. viewed Russia during the cold war, as an inevitable threat that we must constantly monitor and prepare for. Other people react to change like an ostrich reacts to danger. They just stick their head in a hole and pretend it doesn't exist. Change is constantly happening all the time to everyone in someway or another. Whether or not change is accepted does not alter the fact that it exists however the way you accept change can alter the way you exist.
For obvious reasons, people reject change. Especially people who are close to each other because they feel that this change is going to seperate them and make them not as close as they used to be. They fight the change until they force the person to change. It's sad how this works, but in reality, it's probably the single most reason why people change. The people we love, love us so much that they want us to remain the way we are forever. Forever is a long time and not one person can always stay the same. Sometimes if the people we love would just accept the change and go with it, they would understand where the change was origianlly coming from.
Fear is usually the only thing stopping a person from changing. Whether it's fear of ridicule or judgment (usually from well meaning relatives who say things like, "Oh, what a nice idea, but you've never been much good at that sort of thing, dear"), or fear of failure (Why leave your boring steady job to start a business that might leave you bankrupt?), or simple fear of change itself (Things might be hard now, but at least you've learned to cope with this problem... a new problem would require painful adaptation.), people are afraid of achieving the very things they swear they want.
Most people say being stupid will lead no where. They claim that it is the worst possible condition in which to spend one's life, and if possible, it should be completely avoided. They would even suggest if the symptoms of stupidity are caught in the early stages, it could easily be treated by a surgeon. Yet, perhaps if people took a closer look at some of the advantages stupidity had to offer, they wouldn't have such a negative attitude toward it. After reading this paper, one will understand the advantages of stupidity along the lines of work ethic and even how their minds work. I will also show you that they have a large amount of free time and how they are forever ingrained in the minds of the more intelligent.
I am the kind of person who likes to be in an environment that doesn’t change to often. I’m not a fan of jumping into something new. Adapting to change is one of the hardest things for me and it is the one thing that I need to work on the most. Change happens all around us every day and I need to learn how to deal with it. Change can be good. Change can be bad. It’s just what I’m going to have to work on to become a better leader.
It's the desire to find out who you really are, why you are doing what you're doing and who do you want to become in this brave new world that makes the real difference. Resistance to change can be transformed into something really great and fulfilling for you. How many times has it happened in your life where you finally surrendered your resistance to change about something and began to embrace it? How many of you have said what a good thing it was that such and such happened, otherwise you would not have gone in your new direction? The French call this process "Un mal pour un bien", or "a bad for a good."
Although genius is a word that is completely different from intelligence, people often confuse genius with intelligence, because genius is a word that is related to intelligence. Genius is an “extreme degree of creative or other ability, usually demonstrated by exceptional achievements” (APA Dictionary of Psychology: Genius), therefore genius is unable to be used as a proper tool in defining intelligence. As a result of genius being a word of those who possess great intelligence and accomplish notable intellectual achievements, people often confuse the definition of genius with the definition of intelligence. Although genius is a high level of intelligence, g...
