People

Understanding ourselves is also understanding people. Although we are all different, our temperament, thinking, emotions and behaviour are not that much different from one another.

Once you can truly understand people, nothing they do will surprise you. People are not rational beings. As such, do not have expectations of them, or you will be disappointed. People are who they are and they can't help it. They could have had it so easy, but they like to make things more complicated than necessary.

Here are some truisms about people.

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within. - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them become what they are capable of becoming. - Goethe

The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. - Jack Kerouac

There are men and women who make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. - John William Gardner

To know what people really think, pay regard to what they do, rather than what they say. - George Santayana

The only people in the world who can change things are those who can sell ideas. - Lois Wyse

When people are well-informed, they do not just listen to you; they also question you. - Unknown

The worthiest people are the most injured by slander, as is the best fruit which the birds have been pecking at. - Jonathan Swift

When we really see other people as they are without taking it personally, we can never be hurt by what they say or do. - Don Miguel Ruiz

The people to fear are not those who disagree with you, but those who disagree with you and are too cowardly to let you know. - Napoleon Bonaparte

Some people never learn the art of compromise. Everything is either black or white. They do not recognize, or will not concede, that the equally important colour grey is a mixture of black and white. - Waite Phillips

When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bustling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity. - Dale Carnegie
