The Magic : 90/10 Principle . . .
The 90/10 Principle . . .
Have you read this before.. ?
Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life (at leastthe way you react to situations). What is this principle?
10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life isdecided by how you react. What does this mean? We really have no controlover 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breakingdown. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole scheduleoff. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.
How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light., but youcan control your reaction. Don't let people fool you; YOU can controlhow you react.
Let's use an example.You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocksover a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control overwhat just what happened. What happens when the next will be determined by how you react.
You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cupover.
She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to yourspouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge ofthe table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and changeyour shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busycrying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus.Your spouse must leave immediately for work.
You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Becauseyou are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit. Aftera 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive atschool. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot yourbriefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems toget worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse anddaughter.
Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you havea bad day? A) Did the coffee cause it? B) Did your daughter cause it? C) Did the policeman cause it? D) Did you cause it?
The answer is " D". You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. Yougently say, "It's ok honey, you just need, to be more careful nexttime". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirtand your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. Youarrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your bosscomments on how good the day you are having.
Notice the difference?Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both endeddifferent. Why? Because of how you REACTED.You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. Theother 90% was determined by your reaction.
Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle.If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge.Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let thenegative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired,getting stressed out etc.
How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic?Do you lose your temper?Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off)Do you curse?Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them?
WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let thecars ruin your drive?Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.
You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and getirritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time intofinding another job.
The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for theday. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has nocontrol over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know theother passenger.
Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse. Now youknow the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at theresults. You will lose nothing if you try it.
The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply thisprinciple. The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeservedstress, trials, problems and heartache.
We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.
It CAN change your life . . .
