influncing people

i just picked up a new book called how to win friends and influence people it was written before
WW2 goodness and it is still in publish. what does this prove: human never change. i strongly recommend this book as it advocates the core of my philosophy, i believe that humans are creature that are meant to be imperfect. henceforth accept every human for their flaws. the books has exactly the same ideas as me woo cool. haha . even some scenarios were the same. i am gifted i think haha. my EQ should be damme high in contrast to my low IQ.

last night something depressing happened, there was this little girl who was begging on the streets. she clinged onto my jacket, knelt down and refuse to let go, she was begging me to give her money. honestly, i could have given her enough money for her whole family to have a proper meals without even feeling a pinch. but i didnt i didnt give her a single cent.

some may find me utterly heartless and cold-blooded. but i was firm that my decision was correct. WHY? because if i did give her the money her parent would have bring her again tomorrow. if i gave her the money, it would give the parent the message that this can continue and they would. it only brings harm to the child in the end. it will also inspire others to follow them. this is why people kidnap children in thailand and chop off their arms and ask them to beg on the streets. because there is a revenue, to stop these they must have the message that this will not be a form of income.

i believe most people are kind. but the method to show one's kindess should not be so. one must understand the big picture and than act in the best interest of the people. angels and demons lie within ourselves, most of the time we only show 1 side in the dark we show the other.
