HUMAN RELATIONS

Hi friends,

1. TWO CATEGORIES.

Among human beings, there are two categories of people. One is an intellectual and the other is emotional. Intellectual means he is governed predominantly by his intellect and less by his emotions. Emotional means he is guided more by his emotions and less by his intellect.

How and why they are like this nobody knows. Here, we have to believe Vaasana, which means a person is born with the unfulfilled desires of his previous birth. It has nothing to do with their character. Both may be good or bad.

In the case of marriages, they look at other aspects of the agreement between the man and woman but not their emotional or intellectual nature. If both are intellectuals, they will find it difficult and there will be frequent quarrels.

If both are emotional,  even then there will be misunderstanding and quarrels. It is always advisable for one to be an intellectual and other an emotional person so that there is harmony, good understanding and smooth running of the family.

Nicholas Sparks is a great writer on human relations. I have read his book "The Wedding" where he describes the feelings of an intellectual husband towards his emotional wife. It is a great book for all married men and women. Please read the book and enjoy life.

2. WETTING THE BED.

Dale Carnegie was a great writer. He had written many books on human relations."How to win friends and influence people" is one among them. In the preface to the book he challenged the reader that by the time the reader finished reading the third chapter of the book if there was no material change in his approach to life, he would consider it as a total failure in writing the book.

I wish to reproduce an incident narrated in the book. A 7-year-old boy was sleeping with his grandmother and was wetting his bed daily. The grandmother and his parents were annoyed but could not stop him. The parents went to a family doctor for consultation. The doctor told them not to worry and he would take care.

After a few days, a salesman came to their house and told the parents that he was sent by the doctor. and he wanted to take the boy out. They sent the boy with him. He took him to a furniture shop and bought a cot, mattress, pillows, bed/pillow covers, curtains etc of his liking and choice. He was then given a royal treatment and his bedroom was decorated as per his From that day onward, the boy did not wet his bed
