Before I talk to much and water-down this all-important and life-giving principle, let me conclude by now adding the CRUX of The Heart in the Art of Dealing with People so that we can come up with a complete and solid system of dealing with people successfully:
I talked emphatically about how your “sincere desire” to make people feel important is the most important principle in this whole art. But have you wondered, where to get or how to develop this sincere desire, especially the sincerity part of it? A certain prophet summarized it in three simple words; “Let Love Lead!”
That is it; that sincere desire cannot exist if you are not lead by love. In other words, LOVE is the petrol that supplies energy to the all-important engine. It is the supercharger that fuels the magical principle and makes it sincere, genuine, authentic and powerful. It is what proves that there is no flattery, hypocrisy and phoniness in your dealings with people. It is what makes The Engine much more than just a mere engine but a Turbo-Engine. In short, our whole syllabus in the art of dealing with people looks like this:
Love is the Supercharger that fuels limitless sincerity and authenticity to the main engine that supplies power to your dealing with people. Without this fuel, all your efforts in trying to communicate may appear to be fake and thus taken with animosity.
Your sincere desire to make people feel important is the Engine that produces power to your communication skills, without it your efforts to communicate will be powerless and your relationships will continue to be no more than a shot in the dark!
Your desire to communicate is the Control-switch that stops or allows that power to be transported to the light-bulbs, which in turn provide light in your dealings with people. Taking personal-initiative is the key that unlocks any communication-break-down.
The artistic skills of communication are the Light-bulbs or outlets in which when your desire to communicate is supported by your sincere desire to make people feel important, then enough light will be produced to make your relationship with people a delightful experience!
Finally, your Mastery in the Art of Persuasion is the much desired Light; the delightful outcome that we all look forward to in the art of dealing with people. That is, it is the successful fruits of mutual benefit that arise from your effective dealings with people”
For those with an analytical way of thinking, you can choose to turn the syllabus into a scientific system that is easier to read and understand. Especially if you want to use it to recollect your memory or simply use it as reference in your future lifestyle:
1. Supercharger = LOVE; The Proof of sincerity and Authenticity
(the fuel that supplies engine-energy )
2. Engine = The Need to Make People Feel Important
(the source of power)
3. Control-Switch = The Desire To Communicate or Not
(allows power to be transported or stopped)
4. LightBulbs = The Artistic Skills of Communication
(the outlets of power)
5. Light = The Delightful Outcome; The Master of Persuasion
(the end-results of the power)
Lastly, for those of you who are interested in leadership, The Art of Dealing With People is the basis of any leadership role. Leaders from all walks of life MUST possess this art if they are to become effective leaders. Therefore, if YOU want to learn leadership, you must first learn how to deal with people effectually, for only then can people step aside your destiny pursue your standards and follow your ideals. And the secret to it all lies in the understanding of The Magical Principle being fueled by LOVE!
