I think writing blogs had became a channel for me to share my "joy" with my fellow friends, hoping when you read it, it will give you some reflections in thoughts, bringing new insights in your life.
One of my favourite author, John C. Maxwell had always inpired me through his books. Whenever I read his book, the principles that he preaches is so close to my heart and it is like connected to the truth of life.
I want to share with you because writing blog is no more merely a way of expressing what I have in my mind, but more importantly to help you, who knows you might need it?
According to one of his book "winning with people", he said that there are 4 kinds of people when it comes to relationships. Check it out here:
1. Some people add values to other people's life. When we have such friends around us, we appreciate and enjoy their companionship. These people are adders. They normally add value to others intentionally, not by accident. I have many friends around me are adders. Whenever I am in difficulties, they are there to offer their help.
2. Some people subtract something from life. Anyway, because we are surrounded by a lot of negativity, we must tolerate such friends. Somehow, these people actually acted unintentionally. I have friends that actually looks good infront of me, but when I had some challenges in work, they will actually make it worst for me. They do not bear the burden together, they make it heavier.
3. Some people multiply something in life. I am glad that I had mentors and friends that actually lift me up most of time. When I decided to become a trainer, things just didnt work out for me for months. Fortunately one of friend gave me great support and told me that I must live with abundance and go with my passion. These people not only do it intentionally, but they are also strategic and skilled. If you have such people around you now, be blessed and take a time to write or call them to value them.
4. Some people divide something in life. These people always do it intentionally for personal gain. In another word, selfishness overrule them. They will take you down as low as they can so that they can be the "spotlight". Lucky to say, so far I dont have such people around me. But if I had, it is also a reflection of my inner world, I attracted him/her into my world. Normally these people damage their relationship with people.
So which category are you in?
