Who Moved My Cheese - A simple enough book with a simple message, you need to change with change... In spite of all the maxims being in place, why is it still so hard to change with change, why are we so hung up about "changing", why do we tend to criticize our close ones for having changed?
sometimes these issues really need a closer look, we might tell someone that you're changing, while actually meaning to say, you're changing and I'm not, so we might not be able to stay together anymore.. the bottom line is, that while others undergo change, we do too..
be it an organization, your peer group or your loved ones, insecurity of not being a part of the others lives, makes us look at change in a very negative manner which leads to arguments, and what's worse it leads to fall-outs, the only way to resolve it is by opening the channels of communication.
someone said, when you have hurt someone unknowingly or knowingly apologize right away because the longer you wait, the harder it'll get..
so for those of you who're thinking about why you fought or argued that day, retrospect, there might be something more than just another fight under the skin of the issue... and most probably the problem lies with your attitude...
another common reason for an argument, we simply fail to look at it from the other's perspective, you may think he's changing for the worse, whereas actually the change might do him so real good, and in the long run, it might help you as well..
The key points to learn would be :
- Communicate openly
- Check your attitude
- Accept change
