Greatest Success Lesson
Law of the Ping-Pong Ball
a.k.a. Law of Cause and Effect
![Page 21: Sunway University Talk: Employers' Exptectations](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/5549422cb4c905144d8b5356/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
1. Each of us is given exactly 24 hours a day. No more, no less.
2. What we do with our time is entirely up to us.
3. But, in everything we do, every minute, makes a difference.
4. Whatever we do today, affects us tomorrow. Law of Cause and Effect.
5. In the same way, the more effort we put into our lives, the more we will gain.

4. Managing your Relationships
![Page 30: Sunway University Talk: Employers' Exptectations](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/5549422cb4c905144d8b5356/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Managing your Relationships
Basics of Relationships
1. Why?
2. Good performance & skill won't get you very far. You need others to succeed
3. You cannot get people to listen to you if they don't like you.
4. And if they don’t listen to you, you won’t accomplish anything!
5. Relationships = Expectations.
![Page 31: Sunway University Talk: Employers' Exptectations](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062702/5549422cb4c905144d8b5356/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Relationships: People Skills
1. People are interested in themselves, not in you
2. What is the most interesting subject in the world to them? THEMSELVES
3. Take four words out of your vocabulary: “I, me, my, mine” and substitute for the most powerful word: “YOU”
4. Remember that the more important you make people feel, the more they will respond to you.
5. Avoid arguing.
