NLP - BS or Psycological Skills for Influencing People?

Hey that was nothing to do with me!
I just complained about a counting thread in general and the admins decided they had had enough.
Can't say I blame 'em much ...

The counting thread was in LR though.
And I have had enough of rubbish posts in general - atw has about 90% - still I suppose it gives you plenty of material to reply to.

At one of the courses I did when I were but a lad just out of school, they taught us about how to get people to do stuff they really would prefer not to.

So you worked at that school in Jersey?

Nice to see bogey's got himself cleaned up at long last. Changed from a scruffy unshaven old git into a fresh-faced determined-looking member of society. Nice hat too!

I *knew* your avatar was really you !

Turned avatars on briefly to have a look. Was expecting W Buffett.

Anyone here "into" NLP ?

I'd be interested in your view as to whether its bulltulip, or a valuable people skill.

It's all a load of tosh.

You need to master the ancient arts.

These aren't the droids you are looking for...

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.
