One of the things that we talked about this week in class is being able to have a positivity ratio and how important that is in terms of Buoyancy and staying afloat amidst rejection. While this was centered towards Sales as a whole I think it offers a great lesson for life as well. Staying positivity is instrumental in keeping your spirits up and allowing you to succeed. However, sometimes this can bring some negatives to our lives or even sometimes to others’ lives. If one is too positive about themselves then often times they can lean towards a self-delusional approach to life in which one is almost narcissistic. It is important to stay positive but not overly positive about oneself.<\/p>\n
The ratios that we talked about was the 1:1, the 2:1, the 3:1, and finally the delusional 11:1. The first two ratios of 1:1 and 2:1 offers a perspective of positivity that is normally detrimental or causes the self to languish. People become weak or feeble and don’t have a positive nature that they would bring to life. Meanwhile the 3:1 ratio is seen as the golden ratio that allows people to flourish and really excel in what they do in life. No longer do they need to focus on the negatives of life or be overly positive about themselves, they can now be happy, positive, and continue to flourish without being seen as a narcissist. Finally, comes the dreaded 11:1 ratio or above in which people think way to highly of themselves and this leads to a self-delusion that will eventually suffocate or drown out any chance at self-improvement. No longer can this person take feedback, instead all they care about is their own opinion of themselves rather than listening and taking into account the tips that others may offer.<\/p>\n
Holding yourself to a ratio might be hard to think about but if you find the perfect realization of positivity while confronting the brutal facts, or taking a negative sight on yourself, you have the opportunity to grow as a person. Through the 3:1 ratio you are able to not be torn down or made weak by everything in life, yet you still have the ability to listen to others and hear what they say to use that to help you grow as a person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
