Beware the Naked Man Who Offers You His Shirt! #Wisdom

-
You might be thinking at this point...

 What on earth does "Beware the Naked Man Who Offers You His Shirt" mean? It's really simple. It means that if someone who is naked offers you his shirt, would you believe him? Would you think they could "pull it off" pardon the pun? Of course not!

The title of this post, and the lesson, is based off a book I read a long time ago by Harvey Mackay entitled Beware The Naked Man Who Offers You His Shirt. The book is more about business and delivering more than what you promise and other similar topics, but I am going to use the words for a life lesson learned, also known as a lifehack.

The whole point of this life lesson learned is:
  • A naked man does not have a shirt to give!
  • If he had one to give, he would not be naked, and may not take it off to give it to you!
  • This is like someone offering you something they don't have!
Sound too good to be true?

 The fact is this: No amount of kindness or sincerity or any other talk can enable a person to do something they are unable to do. They should not be making you promises and commitments they can't keep, and you should be wise enough to recognize anyone who is doing so.

If someone does make an offer they probably can't keep or seems a little far fetched, then beware, for the naked man is trying to offer you his shirt! Act accordingly. Make sense now?

Step 1 For Effectively Dealing With a Busybody - Understanding "Busybody Psychology" i.e. what a busy body is and why busybodies act the way they do!

Busybodies cannot sit still for too long.  They are meddlers who must constantly know or do something, most likely other that what they really should be doing! The busybody's game is meddling and their ultimate aim (and downfall) is self-avoidance.   They want to spend time on other people's problems and issues, rather than their own. To understand a busybody, you must know why they act the way they do.  You must understand the psychology of a busybody. This will help you to deal with them more effectively and will make life and work so much easier and underst...

How to Deal With Busybodies Gossipers and Meddlers #Haters

This Is a Continuation of Our Topic About Busybodies, Gossipers, Meddlers and other Haters Out There... So here is a good question when referring to these kinds of people: Are men or women more prone to be busybodies and gossipers, and why? Some say women are for reasons such as: Women are actually better at multitasking than men, and women often get bored easier and add more things to their plate as a result - so they are often more prone to be busybodies Women today, unfortunately, still feel challenged about having to prove themselves in the world, so they might take on more than they should and stay super busy to prove themselves This is not to say many men are not busybodies.  My opinion is it's probably a 50-50 split between men and women being busybodies, gossipers and meddlers.  Men become busybodies because of their value systems and "I want to prove myself in everything" tendencies as well.   I have had to deal with big-time busybody versi...
