They Just Can't Stop It (Games People Play)
( The Spinners )
Can't get no rest
Don't know how I work all day
When will I learn?
Memories get in the way
I walk around
I can't hear a sound, folks talkin' loud, but I
Don't see at all
I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don't
Know where to go
It's hopeless so
I guess I'll leave it alone well I
Spent all my day
Fixin' up to go somewhere
Thought I was late
And I found she wasn't there
I guess I'll find
Love, peace of mind, some other time, but I
Still have today
I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don't
Know where to go
It's hopeless so
I guess I'll leave it alone
Games people play
Night or day they're just not matchin'
What they should do
Keeps me feelin' blue
Been down too long
Right, wrong, they just can't stop it
Spendin' all day
Thinking just of you
Twelve forty-five
Headed for the subway home
I took my time
'Cause I felt so all alone
Not far away
I heard a funny sound, took a look around, and I
Could see her face
Smilin' as she came, callin' out my name, so I
Know where to go
We'll take it slow
Guess I'll call it a day
Games people play
Night or day they're just not matchin'
What they should do
Keeps me feelin' blue
Games people play.....
Lets play some workout - I promised myself some rest in between workouts so now I am -
DRESSED
FED
AND READY TO PLAY
Day 598 is in the books- -I feel great and I wish I had done better. I just completed a sentence that had both a positive comment and a request for improvement. I feel great and I wish I did more. I jentence. The magic is to do it with a loving caring and a sincere approach.
This thought process leads to three simple concepts:
- people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care
- the person or organism that can relate to the most individuals or groups on their level wins
- seek first to understand then be understood.
It was Dale Carnegie who said people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Now that sounds real obvious to me. Why would anyone really care to listen to someone who does not have their best interest in mind. This highlights the fact all people are tuned in to one radio station its is called WIFM. What does WIFM stand for?
- What
- Is In It
- For
- Me?
Reaching people or groups of people on their level of understanding is essential in gaining trust. Kipling said best in his poem "If" -If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; tells it all. When in Rome do as the Roman's do.
This is Steven Covey, seek first to understand then be understood. Before you criticize and accuse walk a mile in my shoes. Know all you can about the other person if you want them to understand you.
I think here is where the human being is most vulnerable because here is where the big E comes into play. This also where the soul is in a battle with the ego. Use your mind for a second on this one and you will get the picture. Think back to any time when something happened or someone did something and as of a result you reached an outcome that you did not enjoy. How did you feel? My guess is not happy. Well happiness is a big time emotion. We all seek it we all want it. So, if you are like most if you do not feel it your emotions kick in. Now, if you feel the cause of your unhappiness is from someone else you are ready to think unfavorable towards that individual. Unless you are a person of tremendous love and patience your ego of how you want to look in the eyes of the world will matter more to you for that second or maybe a minute or an hour instead of your soul. See your soul says lets do good while your ego says oh no, let's look good! So this is your search seek to understand first, always in every endeavour- I wish I practiced these three things a little more often.
Love, peace and goodwill towards all mankind.
