If applied, these quotes can change your entire existence

10 Quotes by Confucius that will change your life.

A thread...
1. The Man Who Asks a Question Is a Fool for a Minute. The man who does not ask is a fool for life.

Whenever you have a question, just ask.

You hardly have anything to lose, but all the wisdom to gain
2. If Your Plan Is for 1 Year, Plant Rice. If Your Plan Is for 10 Years, Plant Trees.

If Your Plan Is for 100 Years, Educate Children.
3. Respect Yourself and Others Will Respect You

If you don’t respect yourself, why would others?

If you don’t appreciate your work, why would others?
4. It does not matter how slowly you go, as soon as you do not stop.

Whatever you do and aim for, make sure you enjoy the process.

Great things never come from comfort zones, neither are they resulting from one-time-actions.
5. Your life is what your thoughts make it.

It’s not easy to control your thinking all day long.

But there are great tools, such as meditation and journaling, that help us in shaping our thoughts.
6. By Three Methods We May Learn Wisdom:

First, by Reflection, Which Is Noblest;

Second, by Imitation, Which Is Easiest;

And Third by Experience, Which Is the Bitterest”
7. If you see what is right and fail to act on it, you lack courage.

If your intuition tells you to do something, then you should definitely do it.

Your guts is rarely wrong.
8. When anger rises, think of the consequences.

If it's not worth it, then don't go into rage.
9. He who chases two rabbits, catches none.

Going after too many things at once hardly ends up in success,

Only in confusion and disappointment.
10. You can not open a book without learning something.

Always be eager to learn and grow.

None of us will ever be aware of all the wisdom in the world

Which option do you prefer?

A. I flip a coin. Heads, I give you $100,000.
Tails, you get nothing.

B. I give you $1000.

What is the single most underrated trait a person can have?

A thread...
Of course, like 90% of people, you’d take the $1,000, even though the expected value of the gamble is $50,000.

In economics, the $49,000 difference is called risk premium.

If you’re willing to take on risk, you stand to gain a large reward.
The reason most people aren’t is that they spend their entire lives chasing certainty

"When you try to stay on the surface of the water, you sink; but when you try to sink, you float.

When you hold your breath, you lose it"

The only solution is "Detachment"

5 dirty marketing tricks that we fall for in our everyday lives.

A thread...
1. False Urgency.

There are two ways this presents itself, either the product is presented as to have a very limited stock, thus the customer must choose to have the product now or never.

Or the product is part of a "limited time offer," again pushing the now or never decision.
This is the most popular trick in the Money Twittersphere

This tries to make the consumer feel like they'll miss out on a great opportunity if they don't buy now.

You see things like:

"14 left"

"Only for the first 5 people"

"For the next 30mins"

"Deleting after 5mins" 😂

Unleach your full potentials

7 Quotes from @TonyRobbins, one of the most known motivational speakers of our time.

A thread...
1. When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.

When we live in fear and keep reminding ourselves of what we lack, that’s precisely what we attract even more into our lives

More fear and more lack
2. Every problem is a gift — without problems, we would not grow

Don’t shrink back from challenges. Instead, embrace them.

Don’t take the path of least resistance, take the path that will teach you most.

The more problems you face, the stronger you’ll get.

Why do most dreams not come true?

Most people fail to understand this until it is a little too late.

I used to see my life like a checklist.

A short thread...
Pre-school — check!

Elementary school — check!

High school — check!

College — check!

Work — check!

Marriage — check!

Is life a checklist, or do we have the freedom to pursue our dreams?
Most of us live our lives to meet other people's expectations, not ours.

You want to be a dancer but uncle Joe doesn't approve, so you go to college.

You want to be a teacher but aunt Maria said the pay is bad, so you go to study law.

Everybody wants to buy but nobody really wants to be sold to.

We are increasingly becoming difficult to sell to.

Getting people to let their guard down is the most effective way to sell.

How to sell without selling.

A short thread.
Consultative selling - This approach prioritizes relationships and open dialogues to identify customers’ needs.

The salesperson behaves more like a consultant giving valuable and useful advice to customers.

It is focused on the relationship rather than sales.
How then do we sell consultatively?

- Be knowledgeable - If we are unable to show how a particular product will address a customer’s needs, selling will be difficult.
