This principle is wonderful it really works and helps people understand not to put the blame on others.

the 90/10 principle was forwarded to me by a colleague at work last year. It is one of those things that i’m lucky to have read and i share it everyday with friends that i feel need it. That’s why i’m sending this message today as i was checking it on the net when i came across this connection.

90/10 works. I have ended up less stressful, most of the time and getting better explanation from people that i otherwise would have been annoyed with. It leads to better communication.

wow! the principle reflects my philosophy in life. what’s happening in your life is the aftermath of the decisions you made. you’ll be the last one to decide for yourself on what youll gonna do or react to a certain situation.

This principle really is a help out for me, because i came to realise that everything you do or thinj about is counter parted by your reaction for instance if you were to be hijacked & you dont panic or react in a way of threaterning the thief you are more likely to work out on that situation alive & unharmed that shows me that really our reactions are the pioneers of what we do or think ( Thanx Mr Stephen )

The moral of the story, never practice something propounded based on the observations from the developed economy like USA.These principles applicable to few situations only.
Look at your sorroundings there is much more we can do and hence be aware of them and tryto be reactive to build a society that much stronger and better than USA.

Remember if USA was not reacted long back to the attrocities of UK(Refer Their independence struggle), it would have not been in ths position now.

What if a situation demands you to react strongly. I can see many situations(especially in the area of govt. services) where in you may need to be little harsh and pungent either verbally or in writing so that things fall in line next time when they provide service to others. Ofcourse there too you can keep your temper down and let the laxity in their service affect many more civilians. I can’t too selfish to look at my heart while i forgot the horrendous services provided by the government. Somebody need to rise voice and take reactionary step, even if it is going to spoil their day/life. Why can’t it be me. When you are overly concerned about your life you will stop reacting and start watching. But my friend if every one follows same we indians might have not in this position enjoying greater democracy after being liberated from British. Hope i made myself clear with the concept posted by you from Mr. covey’s book.
