Never trade with people. Stand on your own feet. Once people catch on you can&#8217;t be bought they&#8217;ll shot their true colors.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Approval &#8211; There are people who beg for approval. &#8230; Why do they seek your approval? They dont want to be self-responsible or self-reliant.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Flattery &#8211; When someone starts feeding your ego, ask yourself, &#8220;just what is he after &#8211; do I want to go along with this?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">People want you to go as fast as they are. Maybe they want you to make a snap decision on an important matter \u00a0&#8211; right now. Don&#8217;t get caught up in their momentum. Deliberately slow down! You dictate the tempo that things will move. Always and in everything, be your own person.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Please yourself &#8211; trying to please others will get you nothing but anxiety, nervousness and scorn. Please your True Self and you receive the inner-riches of a nice, relaxed, confident life.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Feeling sad &#8211; cheerfulness is a healthy alternative<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Friends &#8211; A real friend will always tell you what you need to hear &#8211; the truth &#8211; not what you prefer to hear&#8230;.Truth is really the only friend a person can have and needs. \u00a0Friends in Truth are real friends.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Comfort &#8211; Don&#8217;t push people psychologically. They&#8217;ll resist and push back. Use tact, slow down, take your time and introduce new ideas to them gradually, so they&#8217;ll feel at ease with you.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Priorities &#8211; You can tell a lot about people by observing what their priorities are. Not what theybsay they are, but what you observe them actually be.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Answers &#8211; when you ask some people questions, you rarely get a straight answer. &#8230; when you get vague, rambling answers ask, &#8220;Exactly, what does that mean?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Accountability &#8211; People who hold themselves accountable are to be admired. \u00a0They make for good company&#8230;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Pain &#8211; &#8220;What a day, the stress was terrible, now I can relax a little.&#8221; Don&#8217;t buy it! It&#8217;s all a self-centred act to feel important and get a false sense of accomplishment.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Self-centred people love to get attention any way they can. One trick they use is to mentally make themselves physically ill &#8211; psychosomatic sickness. Be strong. Don&#8217;t buy into the act. It hurts all concerned.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Attachments &#8211; &#8220;Love the Creator not the creations&#8221;. That&#8217;s sage advice.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\">Excuses &#8211; Never buy into people&#8217;s excuses for their actions. There&#8217;s only one reason people do what they do &#8211; they want to!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Murray Oxman. 2006. How to Read People Like a Book.
