Sometimes You Have To State The Obvious

Sounds like empathy to me. I remember in college history and philosophy, teachers told me to understand someones thinking we have to get outside ourselves and try to understand their culture and surroundings. Voltaire was different in thinking from Kant becasue of the times, the culture, the economy, and even the climate. It is just a matter of how far we delve into the life of our client to see what needs need to be met, and what needs need to be shaped.

Thank you, Marian.:-)

P.S. Thank you, AR. :-)

What a great reminder for all of us...short and to the point. If I strive for perfection...it motivates me to get there..at times it may take me longer.

Someone taught you well, we can't be everything to everyone, but you can be what you are for the person in front of you.

Well said, much needed, and worthy of a reblog, if you don't mind...

I am always careful about the solutions that I choose to problems, but I like to make the quickly and concisely. One of the most difficult things for people to do is follow through and stay committed to the decisions that they make.

C. excellent, short post. i've always thought the person in front of me 'now' is the most important person.  give them your undivided attention and relationships grow.  and of couse.....solve their re problems along the way, if you take em on. that is what we are as realtors...l.problem solvers and dream assisters.

Just do what you can and do your best.  You have to know when to say no as well.

Helping someone doesn't always mean that you have to do something. Just having an open ear to listen helps someone.

My phone is always open for a leaning ear!

C - We all make mistakes.  Confident enough in yourself to admit it, and to the other- that is how trust is built... 

C- We are constantly being pulled in different directions between family, friends and clients.  We're only human and while it would be nice to be there for everyone it's not humanly possible.  I will never be perfect but will strive to do my very best given the situation being me and only me.

Well said and people can sniff out the real deal a mile away.  If you are real, genuine and you care and try 100%, most people will stick with and to you like glue.

Do you feel market slow, have extra time to do BPO,s > extra $$$$

Keep busy your self > initial door to get REO listing .

As has already been stated, none of us are perfect and we all make mistakes. 

I like Mike Jones motto:

If I mess up, I 'FESS UP & I fix it.

Most people can deal with it when we let them know what's going on and what we are going to do to handle the situation.  And then do it. 

Hi C!  :)

Michael, thank you for the feature. :-)

Doreen, Mike Jones does have it going on, doesn't he? (LOL) ;-) BTW: Hi D!!! :-D

Aslam, your tip is appreciated. I am definitely keeping busy. :-)

Chris, I agree. I always enjoy when someone says they got my name from a friend. When people decide to stick with you, they also tend to speak well about you. :-)

Donna, I like the way you put it and believe the same thing. It is so easy to become unbalanced when you are constantly juggling schedules while trying to please people. :-)

Wendy, great talking point. If you don't foster trust in people it becomes very difficult to be their adviser.

Jeannette, that's awesome. I shall have to call you (LOL). ;-)

Patricia, it's all we can do. ;-)

Thank you, Anna Banana. That is a very nice operational attitude. :-)

JL, efficient, quick and concise. Can't get much better than that, my friend. I love your style. ;-)

William James Walton, re-blog away bay-bay! ;-)

Thank you, Todd. :-)

Rebecca G, I know exactly what you mean. It sometimes takes me a while to get where I am going, even when I know where I should be (LOL). :-)

C - short and sweet and too the point. It's our imperfections that make life interesting.

Hey C,

Very inspiring post, and a true professional will always be honest. And if we don't know the answer to a specific question, being professional means, you will do what you can to find the right answer. Great post, short, sweet, but full of truth! :)

-Lisa

Just having the understanding that people aren't perfect, and that most things can just be worked on goes a long way. There's no time for excess stress, whining, pointing fingers, etc. Be men and women and move on. People make mistakes. It's life. Its normal.

Spot on post, C.  You can't be perfect.  But you can do your best.  That's all anyone can hope for.

I'm not sure what prompted this post either, Miss C-Tann, but you have made a beautiful glass of lemonade out of the lemons you seem to have been dealt.  I always tell my son that I don't expect perfection, I simply expect him to do his best.  If a C is the best he can do in a class, that's fine.  But, if I know he could have done better than that and didn't try, that is much worse.

Big Mike, very interesting, indeed. :-)

Thank you, Lisa. :-)

Steve, moving on with a bit of grace is always nice if you can swing it. Sometimes people make it hard when it doesn't have to be... :-)

Thank you, Heather. Blog post therapy is always useful (LOL). ;-)

I give my best and expect the best from others.  It's so frustrating when you live by certain professional values and standards and then have dealings with someone who doesn't live up to them.  I don't ever want anyone to feel that way about working with me.  Great post, I look forward to hearing "the rest of the story."

Congratulations on the feature.  This is so simply said but such an important sentiment.  I am actually going to send it to my colleague who needs some uplifting right now.

Thank you, Sharon. I've been getting lots of questions about the "rest of the story" (LOL). :-)

Stacey-Ann, very happy to be of use. :-)

C~ this is so well said. We can't or at least shouldn't beat ourselves up for not being perfect. If we do our best that's all we are meant to do. Thank you for these words. And, thank you for helping me support Penny.

Deb

Thank you, Deb. You are very welcome. I am so sorry for everyone's loss regarding this incident.

Yay, this is very timely for a listing presentation I did Friday.  They have been on my mind and I have an idea to call them about tomorrow.  We have discussed the obvious very frankly....they are so so cool.   I wish they had more options.

Ann, the options always make life interesting. It can be difficult to know when to stay and when to go. I've walked a few times and breathed a huge sigh of relief later. You just never know until you decide you are done...

Badly need your help. That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.
I am from Republic and too bad know English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Beauty of great wall screen buy download."
