Learning to get along well with people, while still retaining one‘s individuality, is the most satisfying and rewarding study.

For instance, it‘s good to be selfâ€"reliant, but not to become a domineering knowâ€"itâ€"all. It‘s good to be selfâ€"assertive, but not to become aggressive; to be thrifty, but not to become miserly, and so on There are those in middle managéï¬:;nt who are smiling and pleasant, even obsequious to their bosses, but snarling marâ€" tinets to those unfortunate enough to be under their direction. It‘s curious how such a person will continue to believe that the fault lies with others. A man once applied to me for a job and told me a long, sad story about how his former employers had failed to take the opportunities to advance him as he should have been After listening to him complain about what monsters his former employers had been, I decided not to join the list and told him we didn‘t have what he was looking for. There are those whose poor spouses and children dread their homecoming and sigh with relief when they leave. Usudlly they will be no more successful in business than they are at home. The SuperStore For Cedar & Decks Then there are those rugged individualists who seem to be cast in steel; they have no flexibility at all. They insist that others must conform to them and, unless they work alone, they don‘t stay too long in a job even though they may have real ability. Their home life usually is less than ideal for the same reason You may say that humanity can be likened to a gigantic Jigsaw puzzle. Most of the pieces won‘t fit together, but each piece has a chance of fitting perfectly with one other piece, though this is a rare occurrence. Most often, unlike the jigsaw piece, people can change their shape to adapt to others, at least temporarily, while some are so flexible as to be able to get along with just about anyone; what they lack in individuality they make up for with amiability. But there is a catch here: while each subconsciously wishes to acquire the traits admired in the other, consciously they resist making a change, so that the very characteristics that attracted them to each other in the first place now are driving them apart â€" simply because the mutual exchange never took place. I‘m sure she didn‘t mean that this is a hard and fast rule for being attracted to the opposite sex. We know that some people marry a mother (or father) image and, again, others are attracted by their differences. Each sees in the other traits which they lack and the other has, and this can be the most constructive relationship. In a discussion the other night, a wise young woman made the comment, ‘We fall in love with the person who sees in us that which we like in ourselves.‘ When each mirrors back to the other a reflection that shows them in their best light, it is bound to result in mutual selfâ€"esteem. I suppose the ultimate test of human relations is to be found in the mating game, when people are searching for the one person with whom they can share their lives.
