Switching Behaviours

The wise say the first enemy to defeat is the self. When the self rules, any form of success is devoid of meaning. Indeed, many success stories are spoiled by even the slightest show of bad behavior.

You may have the best product in the world, but if you sell it with arrogance, people would rather buy the next best product than buy from you. Many excellent executives miss company promotions brought about by behavioral considerations.


However, some have mastered the art of switching behaviors on short notice. They have trained themselves to change attitude as easy as switching the light on or off. Most of these people get to top positions when it comes to human relations. So how do they do it?

How easy is it really to change your facial expression? It’s relatively easier to turn your face from sweet to sour, than to turn it from sour to sweet. In other words, it’s easier to get angry than be happy. Simply put, it is easier to be unattractive than to be attractive. You’d rarely find people paying big sums in a parlor to be ugly.

Being able to switch off a bad mood and switch on a good one is very possible for anyone, but it takes practice to master. You have to give up a lot to make this thing work.

For instance, you have to give up self-importance. That’s a high price to pay. If you hold on to your self-importance, you will never switch off anything negative in you, or switch on anything positive in you, ever. For sure, your self-importance will always get in the way.

Self-importance, and any other hindrances to positive attitude switching, are conquered by mind training. If you train your mind to take over your whole personality, attitude switching will become a piece of cake.

The mind should realize that good manners and right conduct are not only proper — they give you a pleasant personality. They make you look beautiful. They make you look agreeable to be with. These are the traits of a winner. The mind must be fully convinced of this and be practical about this.

After the “indoctrination” comes the empowerment. This practical mind must be able to exercise tremendous power over the will and the emotions. When this is done repeatedly in true-to-life situations, then the mind is ready to switch things in your personality on or off. At just the turn of the “switch,” according to how the mind has decided at the spur of the moment, the will and emotions immediately obey, and the body acts accordingly. The moods, tempers, and actions change to make you look better.

This process is reinforced by the operation of rewards and punishments. When you look and feel good so that everything turns out right, you are rewarded. When you look and feel bad so that everything turns to chaos, the punishment will give you a lesson to try better next time.
