understanding-others

You will never get the best out of anyone professionally unless you understand what motivates and makes them tick personally - as a human being

In times of division and strife, build bridges to the hearts of those clouded by anger, hurt, hatred, and ignorance, so you can help open and understand their minds and hearts, and they can understand yours.

It is logical to say that ignorance seems to be the root cause of all human suffering.

When you choose to look down on something, you render yourself incapable of understanding it.

People are far more revealing by the questions they ask than the answer they give. To get closer to understanding what is really on someone__ mind, answer their questions briefly so they ask follow-up questions. By their third question you__l get a glimpse of their biggest fear or desire on the topic.

If you want the people to understand you, invite them to your life and let them see the world from your window!

We look at other people's lives, & we see what looks like a beautiful, adventurous, wonderful or tragic life. But so seldom do we see or even understand that what we see isn't their lives. Especially nowadays with news feeds, & statuses, we see only the surface, with not hint at the inner workings.To me, it's like a movie. We see the culmination of ones efforts, work, hardships, difficulties, progress, & pains. On a big screen that is life, but so rare & seldom, do we every acknowledge nor see the directorial point of view. The metaphorical behind the screens.So while we view others lives with a romantic envy, sweet longing, disheartened sympathy, or joyous reverence. We are so oblivious to the fact that their lives take the same trials, hardships, wonders, difficulties, & joys as we, it's merely manifested in a different on screen production. My longing, is to see that which is off screen. The inner workings, mundane & trivial, as well as the intense & breathtaking because without it, the picture it culminated in would not be.If we only take things at face value, we'll miss the wonders of the inner working. That which lies beyond sight, hidden away within. While it is what appears without that we all see, that which lies within makes what we see make sense.And it's in understanding someone's life & situation, that you can come to value their life & them.

If I tell you I am upset about everything that's going on around me, you will probably ask me why, half listening, half wandering away in your own train of thoughts...If I tell you I am happy, you will probably not bother to know why, congratulating me and forgetting..I should rather tell you I am fine, satisfied, you will probably tell me your own issues then, for which I will be all ears

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.

If life were perfect, we would never learn anything. Thus, never appreciate life.

I just want to understand how people misunderstand each other!

We are all each of us riddles, when unknown one to the other. The plain map of human powers and purposes, helps us not at all to thread the labyrinth each individual presents in his involution of feelings, desires and capacities; and we must resemble, in quickness of feeling, instinctive sympathy, and warm benevolence, the lovely daughter of Huntley, before we can hope to judge rightly of the good and virtuous of our fellow-creatures.

All hate is hurt, all compassion is understanding

No one understands betrayal like the one who has been betrayed.

I think that hate is a feeling that can only exist where there is no understanding.
