2.9 MB
I found this short and simple version which contains 21 lessons that we can reflect on and see how they are relevant to us. I’ll highlight the lessons that are most impressive to me, but I strongly recommend you to check them all by yourself, you may find yours.
People will remember how you made them feel far longer than what you accomplished
It was one of my favorite lessons, and I can see how it impacted my life. In my life story, there are always special parts where I mention those who brought special feelings to me, either good or bad. And as someone said , they are life-changing moments. And we can only find it special in our lifetime book because of the feeling we felt at that time. So, where do you want to place your position in someone’s story? I know you already have the answer. It’s a conversation from heart to heart and I strongly believe one day in the future, the number of heart counts would be one of the most important metrics to measure one’s accomplishments.
People rarely remember your mistakes, but they do remember how you handled them
Or we can link this lesson with the previous one; they remember how you make them feel when you made mistakes and handled them. Mistake is just an initial part that leads to where the story begins, the rest of the story depends on how we write it. We cannot have an eye-catching story or at least a title if they are not silly mistakes that most of our audience used to make at least once, but they don’t know how to handle well. And surely we cannot start our own story by sharing the mistakes made by others, right?
Your reputation will always follow you. Every small interaction builds or breaks the trust
Why do I love this lesson? Because it reminds me of the topic and something like building our own brand. Just to make sure we truly understand what we want from our brand, don’t borrow any parts from others, even if they’re your idol. If you need even just a second to remind yourself of our day-to-day actions and how to link them to our brand, we surely cannot make it consistent and resilient. I’ll explain it more in another post about the .
