“When dealing with people, remember that you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotions.“
— Dale Carnegie

All human beings have emotions built into their decisions. You could have the best hard skills in the world. But if you’re the mean person at work, school, or online, people aren’t going to interact with you.

When dealing with people, remember that they are emotional creatures.

• Give them a genuine compliment when you walk in the door; it’s easy and takes a few seconds

• Truly pay attention to what they say during your conversations

• Give them praise when they try hard and empathy when they slip up

Always be mindful of people’s emotions as that’s what they’re ultimately driven by.

“Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.“
— Epictetus

If a person can trigger your anger, it means that they can control your emotions. And if they can control your emotions, they can control you to a great degree.

Ultimately, you are the one deciding to be angry, sad, happy, or joyful. To maintain control of your mind, and life, you must learn to detach people’s words from your emotions and sense of self.

“Life is short, break the rules. Forgive quickly, kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that makes you smile.“
— Mark Twain

If you want to live life well, then you should do it how you want to do it.

• Do what you love for work

• Try new things that excite you

• Make crazy-fun memories

• Forget about anger and regret

• Learn from your mistakes, but move on from them

Life is too short to not act freely. Hold on and ride how you want!
