The Power of Social Intelligence Quotes Showing 1-4 of 4
“A truly intelligent person is not one who can simply spout words
and numbers; it is someone who can react ‘intelligently’ to all the
opportunities, simulations and problems provided by the environment.
Real intelligence means engaging your brain with every aspect of life –
you play sport with you brain; you relate to others brain-to-brain;”
Tony Buzan, The Power of Social Intelligence: 10 ways to tap into your social genius
“True negotiation takes place when each side respects the other, and their point of view, and enters into the discussion positively. If you are determined that your solution, and your particular solution only, is the correct one – to be imposed on the other side if necessary – that is not negotiation; it is dictatorship”
Tony Buzan, The Power of Social Intelligence: 10 ways to tap into your social genius
“So, your Socially Intelligent and altruistic behaviour doesn’t just
benefit your friends and colleagues; you benefit too. If you leave people
on a high note, you leave yourself on that same high note! You thus
feed your own memory banks with wonderful and uplifting memories,
as well as boosting your own resistance to stress, illness and disease.
BUT REMEMBER: The opposite is also true …
If you leave your friends, lovers and colleagues on antagonistic and
unpleasant notes, you help them to flood their own bodies with
poisons that leave them physically unbalanced, their immune systems
weakened, and their memories fouled.
And you do the same to yourself!
The choice is yours …”
Tony Buzan, The Power of Social Intelligence: 10 ways to tap into your social genius
“There is another Brain Principle to go with ‘First Things First’: that of
‘Last Things Too’. This states that, all other things being equal, you will
recall more easily the ‘last’ things. Check your own memory banks and
see if this principle holds for the following.
You will probably recall:
� -The last new person you met
� -The last time you saw the person you love the most
� -The last social event you attended”
