Step
7:
In the absence of
sufficient facts, people instinctively put a negative interpretation on others'
actions or inactions. Some people suffer from "paranoia"; they think
the world is out to get them. That is not true. By starting on a positive note,
we have a better chance of building a pleasing personality resulting in good
relationships.
For example, how often have we put through a call and not gotten
a reply from the other party for two days and the first thought t at comes to
our mind is, "They never cared to h return my call" or "They
ignored me." That is negative. Maybe:
- they tried, but couldn't get through
- they left the message we didn't get
- they had an emergency they never got the message
There
could be many reasons. It is worth giving the benefit of doubt to the other
person and starting on a positive note.
