小さな箱

メモ

Knowing the material

  • Self-betrayal leads to self-deception and "the box."
  • When you're in the box, you can't focus on results.
  • Your influence and success will depend on being out of the box.
  • You get out of the box as you cease resisting other people.

Living the material

  • Don't try to be perfect. Do try to be better.
  • Don't use the vocabulary - "the box," and so on - with people who don't already know it. Do use the principles in your own life.
  • Don't look for others' boxes. Do look for your own.
  • Don't accuse others of being in the box. Do try to stay out of the box yourself.
  • Don't give up on yourself when you discover you've been in the box. Do keep trying.
  • Don't deny you've been in the box when you have been. Do apologize, then just keep marching forward, trying to be more helpful to others in the future.
  • Don't focus on what others are doing wrong. Do focus on what you can do right to help.
  • Don't worry whether others are helping you. Do worry whether you are helping others.
