Most Useful Quotes from Taoism

As China’s only indigenous religion, Taoism’s influence is found in everything from calligraphy and politics to medicine and poetry. It represents the unknown, and inspires us to go to places to discover more about our nature. Taoism has achieved an incredible resurgence in the West in recent years, and for good reason. It’s full of wisdom on how to live a life of passion while remaining detached and free of the ego. Here are my 5 favorite quotes from Taoist spiritual masters which provide a great introduction to mindfulness and the Taoist way of life. 1. Be faithful to your nature  “The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished.” ― Ming-Dao Deng 2.

Ladder of Persuasion

In my over 17 years of training with Asia Trainers transforming tens of thousands of people in 15 countries in sales, management, and finance, people often asked me, Andy, how do you get people to believe in you?   To me believing in me is the lowest level, for I don't want people to just believe in me, but also do what I believe. There are 7 levels in this ladder of persuasion, courtesy of author Andy Ferarri Norman: Level 1: Literature. This includes the vendor's posters, flyers, brochures, write-ups, e-mailers, websites, videos, slides and any posts from the vendor in social media. It is the lowest in terms of persuasion because it is biased as it comes from the vendor. No customer will be believing this 100%, right? Level 2: Social Media. Nowadays people believe and trust social media more than vendor's literature, but this can get overkill. Social media is more powerful not because of its reach, but because social media is read at a casual way and people are less

The 7 lessons I get from watching this epic: If you hate a person you are defeated by them What the superior man seeks is in himself, what the small man seeks is in others Whatever you go, go with all your heart When anger arises, think of the consequences Looking at small advantages prevents great affairs from being accomplished When it is obvious that goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps It doesn't matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop Confucius 孔子) is a 2010 Chinese biographical drama film written and directed by Hu Mei, starring Chow Yun-fat as the titular Chinese philosopher.
