9 tips to respond rather than react

There is an art to thinking before you act is a skill that not many currently have. Learning the ability to respond rather than react is a way of elevating your emotional IQ and will earn you the respect of your peers. The benefits of this type of thinking can be seen in many different aspects of life, from relationships to money.

Think before you act and reap the rewards! Here are 15 tips to help you on your way.

1. Gain perspective:

This is important because it will allow you to step back in order to see the bigger picture. When you hear something that may trigger a reaction, learn to understand that reaction and to think before you act.

This will allow you to get the perspective on the given situation to then stop think and figure out the best course of action.

In the example above, this would be “Is this a reaction or is this a reaction to a reaction?” This question will help you gain perspective and help you determine your best course of action.

2. Use empathy:

Empathy is the ability to imagine how someone else feels in a given situation. If you are able to understand their point of view, then this will give you more information and therefore allow you to make better decisions based on that perspective.

Empathy can be learned and is a behaviour that can be trained. Here are a few tips on how to get better at using empathy.

Empathy skills at work – learn the rules of the game so you know how to change it.

Use of effective/necessary language – use words that are not demeaning as this will not help you in gaining empathy from others.

Avoiding judgement – avoid assuming others are wrong or bad as this will not allow you to gain their perspective.

To help you improve your empathy skills, here is an article that’ll show you how.

3. Make sure that your facts are right:

This point is an important one as it will help you minimize any potential misperceptions that others may have on the situation. If you verify the facts before you act, this will help you make sure that others don’t have a misconception about what is happening.

This is because misperceptions can increase the likelihood of conflict, which does decrease the likelihood of cooperation. Once again, cooperation is important in order to build and maintain effective working relationships.

4. Take the time to listen to others:

In order to gain the perspective of others, we must first listen and understand their needs and how they are feeling.

Once you have this understanding, you can then begin to try and build on that relationship so that you may understand where they are coming from when they give their feedback.

For example, saying “I’d love to hear more about your experiences.” This will help you understand their perspective in the present situation.

5. Consider their perspective:

When we make assumptions about others’ words or intentions, we are likely to make a snap judgement. Try and avoid these judgments and try to see things from someone else’s perspective. This will decrease conflict that may create unhelpful tense situations in the office.

You can also try and see things from the perspective of your boss, which will help you understand the issues that they may have been having in the past.

You can also try and understand how to help them out so that your boss is more open to cooperating with your ideas.

6. Consider the possible outcomes:

This is important because we can be blinded by our emotions in order to act impulsively. By considering what could happen, this can help us prevent impulsive or rash decisions.

In the situation above, if you consider the possible outcomes of your emotions, then you can instead think about how you are going to respond in a way that would promote a healthy working relationship. This will ensure that everyone walks away with a positive experience.

7. Know which emotions to use:

Emotions are important because they help us make decisions by giving us feedback on the situations we are in. However, we must know which emotions to use and when.

If you ignore the emotions of others or if you try to suppress them, they can lead to tension, which will create conflict within the workplace.

For example, in the situation above, your boss might be angry that you challenged his ideas. Instead of ignoring this anger, instead, use it as constructive feedback and make sure that you have a response that is going to help him out or at least make him understand why you felt this way.

8. Your feelings are real:

When we think about how our emotions affect us and our decisions, we must realize that our reactions are real. In other words, it is important to realize that others will feel the same way as you do.

You can use this to your advantage by showing empathy and understanding their point of view. By doing this, others will be more likely to cooperate with you so that you can build a better working relationship.

9. This is not about you:

This is an important tip as we must realize that others’ reactions are not always going to be beneficial to us. When we understand this concept, it will help us recognize that there are other issues at play.

Once we do this, then we can move forward and think about how our actions will affect others so that we can put their needs first and therefore create a healthy working relationship.

10. Learn from the past:

Everyone has had a negative experience with another person in the workplace. When this happens, we must learn from it and take steps to ensure that it does not happen again.

Think about how you will make sure that the same thing doesn’t happen again. This can help you create and maintain a healthy working relationship for both parties involved, which is a positive outcome for everyone involved.

11. Look for mistakes:

If you are just focusing on the negative, then this will create a tense atmosphere. When we take the time to see the mistakes that others are making, we can more accurately think about how we can improve on their performance.

By not doing this, you will only have a negative view of others and they may be looking for feedback on their performance. This will create a negative working relationship and as a result, it will cause you to perform less favorably.

12. Accept the feelings of others:

Remember how I mentioned earlier that emotions are real? Well, once again, these emotions are real for your boss as well. If you judge him for having these feelings, then you will not be able to understand what they are feeling and how to best help them out.

Instead of judging them for their feelings, try and accept them so that you can move forward. This way, you will be able to work with them in a more positive way so that you can build a healthy working relationship.

13. Respond with a question to give you time

Responding with a question is a great way to avoid saying something that you might regret later on down the line. This way, you can get your point across while being able to take the time to think about your response.

For example, instead of saying “I will do no such thing.” You can say “What does that mean?” Or instead of saying “That’s not my job. “You can say “Why do you think I would even think about that?”

14. Recognize the difference between right and wrong

If we cannot tell the difference between right and wrong, then we are more likely to make a mistake. By recognizing this, we can become more aware of what our actions will have consequences for our workplace relationships.

This will help us make better decisions by ensuring that we are being productive with our time and stay away from situations that are toxic for the workplace.

By doing this, you will be able to recognize the issues that are causing tension.

15. Don’t try and change other people:

It’s also important to understand that you cannot force others to change. This is especially true when it comes to your boss. Instead of trying to change them, work with them so that you can find a solution that is going to benefit everyone involved.

This can help you build a better working relationship so that both of you can feel productive with your time.

Conclusion

Reacting rather than responding is going to create tension within the workplace, at home, or with your friends.

By learning how to respond rather than react, you will be able to create healthier relationships and working environments.

If you recognize that your response is going to cause toxic tension, then you can save yourself from making a mistake.

It is also important to realize that this doesn’t mean that you will be happy about what happens next. However, by learning to understand others, you can create a work environment where everyone feels productive with their time.

This can not only help you feel more productive but also make sure that there are no misunderstandings between yourself and your colleagues. This will create a benefit for everyone involved and therefore create a healthy working relationship.

I hope that you found these tips useful. If you did, please share it with others so that they can benefit from this article as well.

How to Help Your Child Think BEFORE They Act, React, Speak, and Make Decisions

Children struggle to think before they act, mostly because it’s a difficult habit that takes a lifetime to learn and practice. Even as adults, it’s challenging to do and definitely something we will NEVER be perfect at. Have you ever impatiently snapped at your child to be patient? Yeah. All the more reason to have grace for kids as they learn to sit back and discern a thought before putting it into action. Whether it comes to reacting, speaking, or making decisions, all of these things have everything to do with self-control, trust, and patience.

Ultimately, learning to think before acting is an act of will — self-control or impulse control. When children aren’t taught to have self-control, those little things they struggle with as a child can someday turn into a big thing like addiction or more serious implications such as criminal activity. Check out my other post on teaching your child about self-control and addiction.

But don’t forget that all children are different, and having self-control is often an inherited trait or a part of their personality, so learning it will be different for each child. My first son has more self-control with his impulses than my second one, and many factors play into that. While my older son takes more after my husband, my younger one takes after me. And guess who’s more impatient and impulsive? Yeah. Me. He also has a more intense and lively personality while my older son is more laid back. So as you read this article, remember that teaching your child self-control isn’t something you can have one discussion about and be done with it or that one formula will fit all. It takes discernment and intentionality!

So now that we know that teaching your child how to think before they act is not only beneficial for their immediate life but in the long run, let’s delve a little deeper into the backbone of self-control.

The two elements of learning to think before we act – patience and trust

Patience:

Patience is usually the easiest to practice when everything is going our way, and we often find out whether we demonstrate it well when what we believe to be “our rights” are disrupted. But what usually happens when things DON’T go our way? We don’t think before we act!

Every person has a different trigger that sets off their impatience — when our children aren’t listening when they talk back, or when someone cuts us off as we’re driving, or even when our food order is taking too long.

And children, just like adults, have certain triggers as well. Those triggers become VERY apparent when they are toddlers. And because they haven’t quite learned how to rightly express their frustrations, their solution is to usually throw fits, but it’s our role as their parents to teach them how to control those impulses.

And guess what? One of the BEST ways to teach your little one patience is to have it for them.

Along with patience not being a natural occurrence in our personalities, it’s also not very well practiced in our culture. We are living in an age of getting immediate results whenever we want, and the repercussions make it very challenging to teach ourselves and our children the beauty of waiting for something.

You know the saying, “All good things come with time?” It’s true.

The ultimate problem is a heart issue

Being impatient is usually a sign that our hearts are not being grateful, whether it be for our current circumstances, what we do or don’t have, our health, our financial situation. Impatience, at its core, is a reflection of our heart posture and will make it harder to think before we act in any given situation.

“Therefore since we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” Hebrews 12:1.

Patience isn’t necessarily about passively setting something aside or even waiting, it’s something that takes action on our part. This specific translation of the word “patience” in this verse is “endurance.” And what do we know about endurance? It takes a lot of training to have good endurance. It’s persevering through difficulties for a common and worthy goal, not avoiding them altogether.

And one of the best ways to persevere is to look on the bright side — BE GRATEFUL–whatever your circumstance. So easy, right?! Wrong. That’s why patience might be one of the most important actions we can practice throughout our life and teach our children. I can definitely attest that I have lots of work to be done when it comes to practicing patience, especially in parenting.

How can you practically teach your child patience?

Now that we’ve concluded we all suck at patience, I’d like to help parents recognize that they aren’t necessarily “better” at certain things than their children, they’ve just had more time to practice it, and their brains are more developed to understand it.

If you can see your child, not as a lost cause, but as a growing seed that needs special care, attention, intentionality, and patience, we will begin to have a LOT more grace for them.

So first things first, you need to first identify with your child and recognize that you are just as guilty of being impatient as they are.

This will help you come alongside them and show them empathy along the way of teaching them patience. It will help you have patience for them!

That ties hand in hand with modeling patience to your children. If you’re stuck in traffic, don’t show that you’re frustrated. Point out that you’re GRATEFUL for the construction workers who are doing their job so well. Or if there was an accident, say, “I hope whoever was in the accident is okay. Do you want to pray for them?” It’s turning frustrating moments where impatience can ignite into teachable opportunities. Again, I’m not saying this because I’m perfect at it! But take baby steps to shift your mindset, especially if your little ones are watching you!
When they succeed at being patient, reward it, even if it’s simply saying “thank you for waiting.”
Create moments where they can practice patience according to their age level. Let them know that it’s okay to wait for something and that it sometimes makes the thing they are waiting for that much more special.
Give them information – Children, especially the littles, do better when they know what’s happening next. So if you’re waiting for a Disney trip to happen, and your child keeps asking, “Are we leaving soon?” You can respond with specifics instead of answering with a quick, “Almost!” SO you could say, “We have 5 more times we go to bed before we leave. That’s 5 more times we eat breakfast!”
Make it fun! Never underestimate the power of fun when it comes to children learning something. You can make learning patience a game. Have you heard of the Dunedin study? A marshmallow experiment that Stanford did? Check it out and see how your child does and continue to have them practice patience as they get older.

TRUST and what it has to do with learning to think before we act

Now that we’ve covered the patience aspect of learning to think before we act, let’s talk about what trust has to do with it.

In our family, we believe in God. That means we ultimately believe that everything is in His hands, and He is who we put our trust in. Oftentimes, when we don’t trust, we are more likely to not think before we act. How? Because instead of sitting back and trusting that God has a certain situation in His hands, we take matter into our own hands.

I don’t care what you believe or whether or not you have a faith, I think all of us can admit we aren’t always in control. So how can we teach our children that not having control at all times is okay?

Practical ways to build trust with your child

Well, and I know I repeat myself a lot on this, but modeling your trust in God or letting go of the things you can’t control in front of your kids is the most important way.

But along with that, it’s good that we build trust with our children from an early age. That we become the most trustworthy human in their life. Check out this post on building trust with your teen.

Essentially, building trust with your child can be narrowed down into a few actions on our part.

Asking these questions daily
Allowing them to share their heart with you — the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Being the safe space for them to make mistakes.
Don’t expect perfection.
Let them make their own decisions when appropriate.
Don’t try to control them.
Set screen time and otherwise boundaries. (Boundaries are a good thing! We will talk about that later.)
Give them grace!
Tell them you trust them and give them second chances where appropriate.
Apologize when you wrong them.

Building trust with your child is about establishing a solid foundation in your relationship. One that isn’t governed by expecting your child to be perfect. But about expending empathy on a continual basis and expecting the best of your child. You won’t be perfect at it! But that’s okay.

Establishing boundaries to teach self-control

Even the most self-controlled individuals still need boundaries. Boundaries or rules are just a way to keep us all accountable. Check out the review I did for an incredible parental control app called Bark when it comes to healthy boundaries for screen time.

And the article I wrote all about setting healthy boundaries in the family, and when boundaries can become a bad thing. Essentially, boundaries may initially make kids feel frustrated, but overall, they give families a sense of security and stability in the home.

When a child has to practice boundaries, it gives them a safe environment to practice self-control. And we ALL need this!

To sum it all up, here are a few extra tips to help teach your child self-control and learning to think before they act.

Cause and effect – tell them stories of when you were little, and that one time you did something without thinking first. Be detailed on how it affected you or those around you. Children need to learn that their actions, whether good or bad, will always have an effect.
If they have the tendency to interrupt you when you’re speaking with someone else, have them wait until you’re finished and be respectful to others.
Practice the Dunedin study as mentioned above! Give them greater rewards for the longer they can wait.

I hope these tips helped guide you in your parenting journey when teaching your child self-control and learning to think before they act. Have grace for yourself and your kids. You’re learning as you go, and the fact that you care enough to read an article about teaching your child the beauty of patience and self-control is incredible in and of itself.

25+ Think Before You Say Quotes to Remember

Read the following before you say the quotes and see how your life can change.

We often end up using harsh words to emphasize something or express a strong attitude, without intent to cause any harm, but such expressions, in the absence of a clue to the underlying idea, may be considered offensive. Therefore, the weighting and structuring of words is of paramount importance.

In today’s social environment with ever-increasing hate speech, be it persecution based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or religion, this “think twice before you quote” is a trailblazer for all people. better. People often speak very comfortably and impulsively, not realizing whether certain words or how we use them have an inherent negative connotation. If such a case causes misunderstanding, it can lead to disastrous consequences. So, think before you speak – it is a necessity for people to learn better in everyday communication.

Fran Lebowitz’s quote, “Think before you speak… read before you speak,” sums up our age’s need to think before you quote. The constant negativity in speech has ended up putting humanity in a vicious toxic cycle that cannot be ended until we speak consciously and think before we speak.

So, are there any caveats to your energy number? Of course! You should avoid discussions in which you do not understand anything exactly what is being discussed. As the saying goes, stay away from that courtroom where you can’t win a case. Believe me, emotions and ardor are not always good helpers. Sometimes you need to take time out and think things over carefully before making any decision. In almost every situation, including your relationships with people, you can easily destroy everything if you give free rein to your emotions. You should recognize this and take certain measures to make your life more peaceful. Think carefully before you take any action. Weigh your words before speaking them out loud. Before you say or do anything when you are agitated or annoyed, mentally count to 22 before acting. In any case, the morning is wiser than the evening.

You can’t live without being impulsive, that’s your nature. It is impossible to deny that you are constantly striving for action, involving friends and acquaintances in the cycle of events. You are waiting for changes and strive for them. The Five is always ready for change, but sometimes it is better to stop and carefully choose the path to achieve the goal. It is also very important to choose a team of like-minded people who will accompany you on the path to success.

Thirst for knowledge

Although you do not want to disturb or disturb others, you are still too active in your relentless pursuit of something new and unknown. You always need to be aware of everything. This is what makes your life bright and varied. People are drawn to you because you are never boring and life is filled with events.

From an early age you have been accustomed to act quickly and without much thought. It seems that the whole world is calling and beckoning you with the unknown, and you strive to find answers to all your questions. Very often, fives lack freedom in childhood, so over the years their thirst to see everything becomes irrepressible. However, the older the fives, the more they have time to see and study in their lifetime, the calmer their character becomes. Fives are always young at heart and soul, however, as are ones who always strive for leadership alone. You can’t stand being alone. You strive to travel as much as possible and explore the world.

In the eyes of many, you look impatient, frivolous, trying in any way to get into the maelstrom of events. You often act harsh and impatient with others, especially when things don’t go the way you intended. You may throw offensive words and remarks when people reject your help. But with such a manner of behavior you will not achieve anything good – you will only ruin your relationships with people and create a negative image of yourself.

Summing up

People around you think you are a strange person, and this is partly true. Fives rarely think about what other people think of them. Your number symbolizes sensuality and originality, which is why you stand out from the crowd.

You are full of energy and bring it to the world around you. It should be noted that five women are able to skillfully circumvent the ban on wearing cleavage in the office, and at the same time they do not look vulgar. You prefer bright clothes for any occasion, whether it’s a cocktail, a regular work day, shopping or meeting with a boyfriend. You always strive to be sexy and attractive to the opposite sex. But still, sometimes you should adhere to social norms and orders and choose an outfit wisely for a particular occasion. Learn to combine your desires and social prerogatives.

You love breaking rules and routines. You are independent in your judgments, and in your youth you often had problems because of this. It is necessary to listen to the opinion of so many people, to follow so many rules! If you do not like the topic of the lesson, you start to grimace. Remember: business is time, fun is an hour.

Believe in yourself

Perhaps the most important advice for a person with the number of the day “5” concerns his attitude to life. You are looking for ways to express yourself in creative fields. You will make an excellent writer, poet, actor, designer or artist. As mentioned above, do not waste your time, but focus on improving your talents.

Most of the fives are gifted with really rare talents, the main thing is to direct them in the right direction. You enjoy expressing yourself through art. However, you can be a good teacher and mentor. The profession of a psychologist suits you perfectly – people will be grateful for your help.

Many fives rush from one thing to another, torn apart and lost. Also, fives may desire a family with a lot of children, however, as soon as they acquire this, they get bored. While people with day numbers “2”, “4” or “6” rejoice in family happiness, fives are constantly looking for adventure. Be that as it may, you cannot run away from family responsibilities. Even though being within four walls will make you feel bored, you will have to get used to it.

It should also be noted that your best teacher is experience. Observing the behavior of people and various situations, you will form a certain opinion and find the best use for your talents, wanderlust and wit. Your life is full of different events. Frustrated by something, you will look for a way out and look forward with enthusiasm, optimism and joy, and your failure will certainly turn into success.

You radiate energy and optimism. You are a bright individual, unlike others, striving for independence and achieving your goals.

What exactly is your number “5”

Everyone born under the number “5” will be able to personally verify the manifestation of the above characteristics. However, it is very interesting to see how the five changes depending on its incarnations. There are certain differences between the fives. For example, there is a significant difference between those born on the 5th and the 23rd.

As a rule, those who were born on the 5th, and not on the 23rd or 14th, most strongly feel the influence of the five. The number “2” in the date of birth, for example, always means that, under whatever number you are born, you will always feel the need for an ally. You can also be affected by a unit (among “14”). The unit is a symbol of independence, leadership and loneliness.

Let’s look at different birth dates…

Born on the 5th?

You are enthusiastic, have a desire for change, and know how to entertain and bring joy to those around you; you have a very vivid imagination and many talents. But you lack patience and sometimes a sense of responsibility. Remember: you need to finish what you started before you take on another task. Constantly offering new ideas, you are accustomed to leading your own projects and prioritizing, leaving others only the role of assistants. You have much more developed leadership qualities than other fives.

You do not know rest and are accustomed to displaying both physical and intellectual abilities. You like to be in the center of attention, you like to be praised. You are able to work long hours and cooperate with other people, although you are often impatient. You are the most sociable, talented and energetic of all fives, although you often feel misunderstood by those whose opinions differ from yours.

You enjoy using your charm, sense of humor, and ability to entertain loved ones, family, friends, and everyone around you. Interest in life makes you a very attractive interlocutor. You would make an excellent detective.

Sexually, you are very sensual and like to experiment. Sexual relations are as important to you as air, food and sleep. You know you need a romantic foreplay and you never turn it down.

Travel is vital for you, so your passport and luggage will always be ready. You will experience all kinds of travel – short trips, business trips, romantic trips, expeditions; you will definitely read the guide to the 100 best tourist destinations. You have a talent in any field related to sports, tourism and recreation.

Somewhat shy, secretive and distrustful, you are always looking for the secret meaning of life. It is common for you to be addicted to religion or the occult. You can also work in the social or legal field – the numbers “2” and “4” will help you with this (which affect you if your name, for example, contains the letters B, T or L ) . The letters E, H or I will only enhance your innate sense of style, creativity and desire for everything aesthetic.

You are almost always in a state of nervous excitement bordering on a nervous breakdown. Living in tension becomes so familiar to you that you are disgusted by a normal emotional state. You need to try to relax and unwind, because the human body is not a perpetual motion machine. Take up yoga or go for a walk in the park – learn to relax. Sign up for fitness and direct your energy to the benefit of health.

Born on the 14th?

Your birthday gives you similarities with the unit, because it includes the number “1”, and therefore you are quite independent and strive for leadership. In combination with the unit, you have the number “4”, which symbolizes prudence and plays the role of the controller of the five, striving for freedom and adventure.

Your energy and ideas are more spiritual and magnetic than those born on the 5th. All this thanks to the four, which hates destruction and spontaneous decisions. This makes you a more peaceful person who respects law and order. That way you’re much less likely to get into trouble. But you are still quite emotional and irritable, prone to nervous breakdowns and stress. You can express yourself in creative fields such as painting, theater, cinema, music, literature, etc.

You are very attractive to the opposite sex and always get what you want. Your physical attractiveness will stay with you for life. Your mental energy will be in full swing and admired by many. But, if you try to build a relationship on your physical attractiveness, don’t expect it to last; it’s the same with arranged marriages: you can support yourself with talents and inexhaustible energy, so don’t go for it.

Emotionally you are very unstable and in constant need of personal freedom. Since the number “14” combines two strong numbers, you have two strong character traits: charm and persuasion. You can get rich if you put in the effort. The main thing is to learn to control yourself and not give vent to emotions. Every day you need to learn to manage your energy. Direct your talents in one direction (creative is best) – then you will succeed.

The number “14” carries a karmic debt, a desire for independence. Deprived of independence in its past life, it strives to achieve its goal in the present. “14” opposes the freedom-loving and energetic five. Karmic debt is carried by four numbers: “13”, “14”, “16” and “19”. Those born on the 14th cannot avoid change, travel and movement. You will also have to face envy and indecision.

If we consider the numbers separately, then at first our attention will be the number “1”, which has a negative impact on a person. This is manifested primarily in selfishness, the desire to dominate and excessive demands. The negative influence of the four is expressed in indecision, passivity, pessimism, lack of concentration; while the negative influence of the five as the number of the day makes you disorganized and you will not know what to do. As a five, be prepared for problems related to alcohol, drugs and sex. All this can lead not only to moral degradation, but also to financial decline.

Born on the 23rd?

Those born on the 23rd are able to more accurately guess the wants and needs of people than those born on the 5th. All this thanks to a combination of numbers “2” and “3”. Such a date of birth makes you a very bright individual who has a sensitive soul and shows compassion for other people. You may have a very strong attachment to another person. The constant need of the deuce in a partner distinguishes you from the five. You have a rather gentle nature. You love solitude and need personal freedom less than other fives.

Since the deuce is loving by nature, it will be difficult for you to build only friendly relations with the opposite sex. You love selflessly and sincerely, and marriage ties are not important to you. You are charming, which is why people are drawn to you. You are able to take on several tasks at once and know when and what to complete and who will help you. However, you lose interest in the case before you even finish it.

You are a broad thinker and a sensitive person. You are quite patient and have sufficient endurance. You know how to catch the right moment to take action. How many times have you had to regret that you waited too long? This happened only when you lost sight of the signs given to you by fate. Pay attention to them. If fate tells you to stop, wait for the best time to act. If you do not notice the sign that allows you to move forward, then you are missing your chance. When everything starts to turn out as if by itself, without any extra effort, you need to act.

It may take some time for you to build trust in the people with whom you work and plan. But this will only increase your chances of success. However, your love of boasting only creates an unpleasant impression about you. And if you promise to do something and leave things unfinished, then naturally people will be disappointed in you. But the presence of a deuce in your date of birth promises you successful cooperation with people, because the deuce is quite peaceful.

You are a very talented speaker and can successfully present new projects to the public. Like a real five, you crave knowledge and travel, change and variety. You can become an excellent politician, lawyer. You are also capable of entrepreneurial activity and work in the field of tourism. The combination of two and three makes you a very sociable person, and you feel well the desires of the people around you. You are always ready to help someone in need.

You are a real battery, a kind of perpetual motion machine among progressive people. You can be a great teacher and your students will love you. You can build a career in the legal field (as a lawyer, bailiff or judge). Any profession that requires dedication, physical activity and the ability to make quick decisions is suitable for you.

Job

So what type of worker are you? We already know that your date of birth suggests that you are much better off working for yourself than for anyone else, but what qualities do you display when you work in a team? If you are the boss, how do you manage your responsibilities? What areas of activity are most suitable for you, and where you should not even try yourself? And what about the division of the sexes? Which boss would be more preferable: a woman or a man?

Here we’ll talk about your career potential, what you want and what you need to be able to do to succeed, what you like and don’t want to do at all. We will also outline the areas in which you are most likely to succeed.

Choosing a profession

Your figure, as we have already said, is perhaps the most passionate and energetic of all others. This means that no matter who you are (boss or ordinary corporate employee), you always strive to be in the spotlight and move up the corporate ladder. You always know what you want, and set new goals not only for yourself, but also for the team, striving to achieve them.

Master of Motivation

When it comes to a career, the best word to describe you is leadership. Regardless of the field of your activity and the duties that you have to perform, you are able to show strength of character and the ability to motivate where others should only follow you. Even if you work on an equal footing with others and are no different in job duties, when panic arises, thanks to your natural talents, you are able to correct the situation. You can make people believe in the good and move on. Fives are often unlucky in mundane situations—trains delayed, traffic jams, phone lines overwhelmed—but in situations of major crisis, they are able to survive and help others. Whatever you do, you always think quickly and act largely instinctively, so you practically always succeed. Often it is the ability of the five to think soberly and immediately pushes her to open her own business.

Think twice before you act, is this really the norm that we should follow?

Ji Wenzi thinks twice before acting. Zi Wenzhi said, “Again, Skeleton.”

This passage is taken from the Analects of Confucius • Gonge Chang, and its literal meaning is not difficult to understand. Approximately: Ji Songxing, doctor of Lu State, thinks twice before acting. When Confucius learned of this incident, he said, “Think twice.”

“Think twice before you act”, many people take this as a compliment. Why? Because if this person “thinks twice before acting,” then he must be a meticulous person. Think clearly before doing this, it is commendable. For millennia, people have always warned us to be prudent, careful, careful, not impulsive and reckless.

But from this point of view, Confucius does not seem to approve of overthinking when something is happening. Why did Confucius disapprove of Ji Sun Xingfu’s thoughts twice before acting?

There are roughly two different statements:

First, Ji has a reputation for being virtuous and rarely makes mistakes in his work, so there is no need to think twice.

Secondly, Ji has a good reputation, but he is exaggerated, indecisive, indecisive and overly cautious. Confucius believes that it would be better if the Ji family were not so indecisive and gentle.

Cheng Yi in Cheng Zhu’s Neo-Confucianism has a different understanding of this passage. He believes that the reason Confucius ridicules and opposes doublethinking is because people are more preoccupied when they think about things and tend to become selfish. Suffering from profit and loss.

Which one is more reasonable? I defend the second argument. In other words, Confucius doesn’t really mind thinking twice, but he thinks that Ji is too indecisive and gentle, and a bit too killer.

In fact, not only Ji Sun Xingfu thinks too much, but also many people, like me.

In August 2014, I published my first blog post on CSDN. Although I read very little, I suddenly had an enthusiastic reader – I named him Xianhui.

After talking to me after a while, Xianhui began to urge me to set up a QQ technical exchange group as soon as possible. I thought about it and finally rejected it.

I don’t know how this QQ group is positioned;
I don’t know how to support this QQ group;
I don’t know what this QQ group can give me.

At that time, I had just returned to Luoyang from Suzhou. The salary was very low and I didn’t have a good plan for the future. I didn’t even think about these three problems. My motivation for blogging is also very pure: not to create a QQ group to build a communication platform for readers, but to measure performance. If you can write one article a week (no volume), there will be more than 100 yuan on the payroll at the end of the month.

Over the next more than a year, I saw more and more great bloggers set up QQ groups, so I began to act on Xianhui’s suggestion to set up the “Silent King Erhe” “His Friends” exchange group. Don’t tell me readers really want to join this exchange group every day. Many friends of the group will share information and communicate spontaneously. When someone asks a question, someone enthusiastically answers it. As a team leader, I don’t have to do too much mobilization work.

If I hadn’t “think twice before acting” at the beginning, I would have created a QQ group in advance so that more readers would have the opportunity to participate and this group could create more value invisibly.

What does this indicate? “Think twice before you act” should not be the norm for people like me. Since I can’t think, I have many questions that I don’t know clearly and I have to wait until I think them over. Lily is cold.

What should I do? What comes to mind, not sure if it’s right, let’s talk about it . You know, it’s normal that a person can’t think clearly about many things when they’re young, and only a few can live to understand when they’re in their 30s or 40s.

“Think twice before you act” will always allow us to take into account too much, and taking into account too much will cause us to miss opportunities in thinking. After all, we can only be “a giant in thought, a dwarf in action”; we must know that many things don’t work out. What is achieved through long-term thinking is achieved through continuous improvement and continuous progress through practice.

In November 2016, Xian Hui advised me to open a public account. I no longer hesitated and immediately opened a public account called “Silent King Two”. While I still didn’t know how this official account was positioned at the time, I also didn’t know how to manage this official account and I didn’t even wonder what this official account could give me. But my instinct tells me it’s time to do it.

Although many questions are not clear, I still set a clear rule for myself: no matter what, publish at least one original article every week. To date, I have published 285 articles in this public account.

Seeing this number, one might ask me with concern, “You have published 285 articles. How many followers does your official account have? How much income does this official account bring you? I can answered honestly: “There are not many readers and the income is not great, but this official account has helped many people and provided a lot of valuable content.”

If I still think too much like Ji Songxingfu in November 2016, I may not have opened a public account yet. So how can you write these 285 articles? Not to mention helping and enlightening readers.

iOf course, it is known that doing something recklessly and arbitrarily will not be good, but in the face of things, the indecisive and indecisive often miss the best time to act. That is why the ancients once said that “the gentleman is poor and resolute.” When you shouldn’t think twice, think twice; think twice, don’t forget to act!

I am not a gangster so I only have one WeChat account (qing_gee).
