人を動かすより抜粋

beard the lion in his den
怖い人に捨て身で立ち向かう
《★【由来】 「ほら穴の中のライオンのひげをつかむ」の意から》.

Begin with praise and honest appreciation.

Calling attention to one's mistakes indirectly works wonders 

with sensitive people who may resent bitterly any direct 

criticism

just a minute.
You are twice as old as Josephine.
You have had ten thousand times as much
business experience.
How can you possibly expect her to have your
viewpoint, your judgment, your initiative
- mediocre though they may be?
you are better than I was at your age.
I have been guilty of so many stupid, silly things myself,
I have very little incliion to criticize you or anyone

Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
Asking questions not only makes an order more palatable;
it often stimulates the creativity of the persons whom you ask.
People are more likely to accept an order if they have had
a part in the decision that caused the order to be issued.

"I have no right to say or do anything
that diminishes a man in his own eyes.

History is replete with striking illustrations of the
sheer witchery raise.

Remember, we all crave appreciation and recognition,
and will do almost anything to get it.
But nobody wants insincerity.
Nobody wants flattery.

Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.
In short, if you want to improve a person in a certain 

spect, act as though that particular trait were already 

one of his or her outstanding characteristics.

how to win friends and influence people

I realized that any hotheaded fool
could do that - and that most fools would do just that.

I wanted to be above fools.
So I resolved to try to turn her hostility
into friendliness.
It would be a challenge, a sort of game I could play.
I said to myself, "After all, if I were she,
I would probably feel just as she does."
So, I determined to sympathize with her viewpoint.

Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and
desires.

An Appeal That Everybody Likes

a person usually has two reasons for doing a thing:
one that sounds good and a real one.

The person himself will think of the real reason.
You don't need to emphasize that.
But all of us, being idealists at heart, like to think of
motives that sound good.
So, in order to change people, appeal to
the nobler motives.

Appeal to the nobler motives.

The chance for self-expression.
The chance to prove his or her worth, to excel, to win.
That is what makes foot-races and hog-calling and
pie-eating contests.
The desire to excel.
The desire for a feeling of importance.

time management より抜粋

ビジネス本とか、自己啓発本のたぐいが特に好きというわけでは
ないが、この考えは多くの人に持ってほしい。

他人の大事な時間を奪うな　と言いたい。

Until We Can Manage TIME, We Can Manage Nothing Else.

Time is the scarcest resource of the manager; 

If it is not managed,
nothing else can be managed


Everything requires time.
It is the only truly universal condition.

All work takes place in time and uses up time.
Yet most people take for granted this unique, irreplaceable, 

and　necessary resource.

Nothing else, perhaps, distinguishes effective executives
as much as their tender loving care of time.

One cannot buy, rent or hire more time.

The supply of time is totally inelastic.

No matter how high the demand, the supply will not go up.

There is no price for it.

Time is totally perishable and cannot be stored.

Yesterday's time is gone forever, and will never come back.

Time is always in short supply.

There is no substitute for time.

仕事は自分がしているのではない

いろいろな縁のなかでたまたま自分がさせてもらっているのだ。

I luckily happen to do this job by a curious turn of fate.

自分ではなくほかの人でもよかった仕事を、
めぐり合わせの中で自分がさせてもらっているのだ。

I am not the only person who can do this job but other can do it.

この仕事をさせていただいていることに感謝し、
もっと自分を磨き、高める努力を惜しんではならない。

I must appreciate having the privilege of my role and have to work on

myself.
I have to spare no efforts.

つらい状況の時 predicament

When we've got ourselves in a jam,let's remember this phrase

あの人には徳があるなあ、あの人には知恵があるなあ
という人をじっくり見てごらんなさい
必ず、人生のどこかで人に言えないような辛酸や困難や病苦を経てきた人だ。

Imagine those who is a man of virtuous or has mellow wisdom.
Let's observe him carefully.
He is a man who has gone through  hardships or bitterness or sickness
somewhere in his life.
