...which? Which is the real questions? Are the ideas expressed in the internet truly free or are ideas of freedom only being expressed on the net? When I get a "guestbook" module on my homepage or a free "form" module, the readers of my page will be able to express their "free" ideas. However, the lack of resources is a limitations on the freedom of expressing ideas and any delay compounds the problem. When my homepage is fully operational, won't my inbuilt bias of "good taste" or manners push my reluctant to accept ALL inputs into my homepage? Therefore, it is very possible that my page is a Freehold in the sense that the ideas on it is Free only to me............. A SHORT COURSE IN HUMAN RELATIONS The six most important words: "I admit I made a mistake." The five most important words: "You did a good job." The four most important words: "What is your opinion?" The three most important words: "If you please." The two most important words: "Thank you." The one most important word: "We." The least important word: "I".. "Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside,awakes!" "The key to the positive development of ourselves and our relationships is through communication... By embracing the differences in others, and opening ourselves up to positive communicatiion, we can break down the walls of intolerance and CELEBRATE the richness of the diverse world we live in." (Emphasis added) "The fountain of content must spring up in the mind, and he who hath so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition, will waste his life in fruitless efforts and multiply the grief he proposes to remove." "Innovation, creativity, and advancement - the hallmarks of proactivity - come from IMAGINING what might be." (Emphasis added) "People who don't trust each other don't create Win - Win agreements. Trust comes from repeated deposits in Emotional Bank Account balances. When trust is high, Win - Win agreements naturally flow.".. "Understanding the other person shows consideration. Being understood takes courage. Both are necessary conditions for Win-Win agreements." "Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be, and he will become as he can and should be." "The line that divides good and evil is not a line that divides good people from bad people, but a line which cuts through the middle of every human heart." "Listening involves patience, openness, and the desire to understand - highly developed qualities of character. It's so much easier to operate from a low emotional level and to give high-level advice." "If you want to interact effectively with me, to influence me - your spouse, your child, your neighbor, your boss, your co-worker, your friend - you first need to understand me. And you can't do that with technique alone. If I sense you're using some technique, I sense duplicity, manipulation. I wonder why you're doing it, what your motives are. And I don't feel safe enough to open myself up to you." "Because we are, by nature, proactive, if our lives are a function of conditioning and conditions, it is because we have, by conscious decision or by default, chosen to empower those things to control us"(!). "Insecure people think that all reality should be amenable to their paradigms. They have a high need to clone others, to mold them over into their own thinking. They don't realize that the very strength of the relationship is in having another point of view. Sameness is uncreative... and boring. The essence of synergy is to VALUE the differences." (emphasis added) "We can leave money in a regular bank account, do nothing with it, and have it grow anyway, or at least stay steady. Emotional Bank Accounts don't work that way. If we don't tend to them through regular deposits, they lose value." "Seek first to understand, THEN to be understood." "The best way - perhaps the only way - to change a losing system is first to avoid reactive responses like judging, blaming,and criticizing; and second to consider proactive options for being of influece within the system." "We immediately become more effective when we decide to change ourselves rather than asking things to change for us." "If you want small changes, work on your behavior; if you want quantum-leap changes, work on your paradigms." (While in Philadelphia last week, I passed a business establishment on Market Street titled the "Paradigm Bar." Interesting...). "Maturity may be defined as courage balanced with consideration. Mature people have the courage to express their feelings and convictions, but they balance their courage with consideration for the feelings and convictions of others." "My concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure." "Integrity grows as you connect your head with your heart, your heart with your behavior."
