At times I am surprised at how small things can affect our lives.
I had read this concept of the 90/10 rule by Stephen Covey a couple of years back. A slightly different version of the 80/20 rule which is also called as the Pareto principle.
It says 10% of life is made up of what happens to you, and 90% of life is decided by how you react. And I have experienced it in so many ways.
I have come across a lot of situations where a simple argument goes out of control and takes you to a point where you and your best friend becomes enemies for life.
And why did that happen?
Because of the way you reacted to that situation.
A lot of these arguments can end then and there if, one of the two who are arguing, just decide to cut it short and leave it where it is. I have seen a lot of such situations where an argument ends faster than it started and prevents from destroying an otherwise lovely evening.
That reminds me of this quote from Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People“.
“You can’t win an argument. If you lose it, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it.”
It’s better to lose an argument than lose a friend. And that is something that I always keep in mind whenever I see an argument starting to take shape.
Isn’t it really surprising at how a small change can make a big difference to our lives?
Days that start on a pleasant note turn out to be some of the best days for me. And somehow, such days also gives me the positivity to react to situations differently.
And one of the things that I do to start my days on a positive note, is to ensure that I don’t start my day by reading a newspaper.
