People and how to deal with them-Part 2
People and how to deal with them-Part 2
Last week I talked about how I found these little gems of magazines. And how to not let people upset you.
Today’s installment of People and how to deal with them, talks about snobs.
This first article talks about how people who are snobbish, generally have a crippled ego. Like last weeks advice, I think there are some long standing good points to this article.
And then we have a little article talking about “Time Killers” at work. This one cracked me as they differentiate between the professional and the amateur time killers. I’m sure these are still applicable today too.
And more sage advice from the Words of Wisdom section of the magazine.
Early to bed and early to rise, until you make enough money to do otherwise.
The best year round thermometer is a warm heart, and a cool head.
The trouble is opportunity looks so much like self denial and hard work that we often times fail to recognize it.
When people start trying to get out of this country, instead of forming lines trying to get in, then we can start worrying about the capitalistic system.
There are some GEMS in here that still apply, and I need to remember them, like the warm heart and cool head….OH do I ever need to remember that one as a teacher! Good morning Mary!
There are probably a lot of good tips in these for you as a teacher. LOL Have a great rest of your day!
Thanks mary, you too!
“…of course our work environment should not be so grim that we cannot exchange a pleasant comment now and then…”
Hmm.
Workers, please do not pause more than twice a day to exchange pleasantries ;-)
LOL…Yes!
Funny, I used to work with a lot of Time Killers. That is what led to my retirement. Great post, thanks for sharing. Happy Thursday!
It made me laugh when they referred to snobbishness as a “handicap” – that was great! I think people are wasting way more time at work today than ever before because they’re constantly checking their personal phones and posting on social media at work, which is distracting, time consuming, and breaks flow and continuity of work. If every minute they did that was counted, I think they’d be shocked at how much total time is lost per year!
I like the one about opportunity. It does seem like we shoot ourselves in the foot sometimes.
Those are great! Times really haven’t changed all that much.
It’s a little more challenging to deal with the ego-crippled person at work since he/she is there every single day… It’s a great article!
Thank you so much for sharing, Mary. :)
