Three Fundamental Techniques in Handling People

Technique 1: Don't criticize, condemn or complain.

"If you want to gather honey, don't kick over the beehive."

In my opinion by this technique is never judge or complain about things you don't wanna do. Do them without any complain it will help you in life. For example when i was asked to help LAPD I didn't complain because it can help me in the future if i need help or its an emergency i can call them up cause they know of how good of a person i am.

Technique 2: Give honest and sincere appreciation
"The big secret in dealing with people"
In my opinion being honest is a good thing because you are being straight forward on what you have say,even if it's hard to be honest you will have try. Also having appreciation towards people is also better because they want to know how you really feel about and if they are appreciated by you. This technique will help you in a lot in life, being rude and not being honest or appreciating other people won't get you no where in life.
Technique 3: Arouse in the other person eager want.
"He who can do this has the whole world with him. He who cannot,walks a lonely way."
In my opinion on arousing in the person is to be interested in what he/she wants. By making this technique happen you'll have to look and find what they like what they don't.
Final Reflection: I believe these techniques can help a person become more aware of they let there actions or response to someone else. It can teach you to handle someone without being rude just being straight forward to them.

During my Christmas/ Semester break i spent time with family mostly friends.

I met my friends brother and mother, his brother was very nice also his mom.The movies i watched were The Nightmare Before Christmas, Home Alone, The Grinch, and Home Alone 2. I really didn't watch many movies i watched more shows like; Supernatural,Dexter,Baby Daddy,and Flashpoint. I didn't play or watched any sports during my vacation.My CTR experiences was helping LAPD in East Los Angeles give out presents to little kids on December 20th, it was so crowded that even channels 4 and 34 came to see the event. The only book I read was Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin I fell in love with the book because of my sister since she had to read it for her college essay.During vacation I didn't do homework be there wasn't homework that I knew of.That's all I did for my Semester break.
