Persuading Others

Former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg used to say “Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”

Through the years, I have seen this quote posted on social media and referred to quite often. Most of the time, it is used as motivation or justification for fighting for a cause.
‍
Though it is important for us to champion a cause, we also must realize that there are 2️⃣ parts to this quote!

Oh?!?

“The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion it has taken place.” (George Bernard Shaw)

A man and his wife had been arguing all night, and as bedtime approached neither was speaking to the other.

Please click here to listen to the 2-minute audio of this email on the “Success is a Choice” podcasting network

It was not unusual for the pair to continue this war of silence for two or three days. However, on this occasion the man was concerned; he needed to be awake at 4:30am the next morning to catch an important flight and being a very heavy sleeper, he normally relied on his wife to wake him.

Cleverly (so he thought), while his wife was in the bathroom, he wrote on a piece of paper: “Please wake me at 4:30am – I have an important flight to catch.”

He put the note on his wife’s pillow, then turned over and went to sleep.

I woke up this morning running late and the last thing I wanted to do was take 30-seconds to make my bed.

Maybe you’ve been right there with me struggling between listening to that pesky little bed-making devil on one shoulder and that cleanliness-is-next-to-godliness angel on the other shoulder.

After all, that bed is just going to get messed up again that night, anyway, who will ever see it?

Please click here to listen to the 1-minute audio of this email on the “Success is a Choice” podcasting network

After landing his invasion forces on the shores of some far away country, it’s been said that the sixteen-century Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortes would immediately burn his own boats.

The Skinny Mirror
