People and how to deal with them-Part 3
People and how to deal with them-Part 3
Today is the third installment from the little gems I picked up at the antique store. Magazines from the 1950’s, with advice that still rings true today.
The cover photo has a little tidbit of info on the inside.
“As they grow older, some people allow themselves to lose the cheerful, interested expression they had in their younger days. As a result, they reflect less friendliness, and they receive less friendliness.”
Good advice. He looks pretty cheerful to me.
These two articles had some good tips for working, and succeeding. And ya, nobody likes a sarcastic smart ass.
These photos are so funny. The one in the bottom right shows a battery that will go in the first electric watch, and will power the watch for a whole year!
And this weeks Wit and Wisdom section has some great ones.
No one is ever too old to learn, but many people keep putting it off.
To keep within a budget these days you have to let the rest of the world go buy.
The only correct actions are those which require no explanations and no apology.
Cooperation is not getting along with the other person. It’s taking the kinks out of yourself so he can get along with you.
You did find some real gems there Mary! Lots of good info…and the wisdom still holds true today!
These are becoming some of my favorite posts to read, Mary! Wisdom knows no era or culture or time frame. Some things are just perfect and wise for all times, whether it comes from way back or is applied now. I love the one about sarcasm; it may work within a circle of friends, but not with everyone. I’ve been the “victim” of on the job sarcasm at times, and it does NOT MAKE for a good working environment! Have a super day!
I find that sarcastic people think they are being cute, or funny. And are neither. I’m glad you like these old magazines, they are pretty fun.
Uh oh – it would appear nobody likes me :-/
Must be why I’m happiest with dogs; in fact, one of the dogs here is a smart ass too!
I think being a smart ass, and being sarcastic are two different things. A smart ass can just be funny, while sarcasm can just be annoying.
Great post, Mary! Do people really choose to loose their cheerfulness when they grow old? I hope not! Happy Thursday!
I think some people do. But I also see a lot of older people that are just thrilled all the time.
that book comes in time after our great neighborhood drama LOL
It’s so interesting looking back at these old articles. Some things never change, while others have made such huge advancements in a comparatively short time. So interesting.
Love the advice quotes at the bottom! So true.
taking the kinks out of yourself so he can get along with you– insightful! It could be a life-long goal.
Thank you for sharing, Mary!
Yes, that really could be a life long goal. And maybe not always an easy one.
I agree with you mary!
Wonderful bits of history, and thoughts on how to navigate the future. I love reading old articles like that.
Can you imagine an energy capsule for a watch that would keep it running for an entire year? Wow! These are great!
