‘Action expresses priorities’
Mahatma
Gandhi
Sometimes
you make a request on someone, small or big. It could be as simple as
requesting someone to give you a wakeup call or fetch your car key etc.
Similarly, others may also make such requests on you.
There may
be occasions when the other person does not comply with your request. The other
person may simply say ‘sorry I forgot’. You may also respond in such a way.
Just
recall about five to six requests from others that you ‘simply forgot’! Rate each
of them on a scale of most important, medium important and least important from
your point of view. The things that you ‘forgot’ will invariably fall into
least important category!
If you
had given the ‘most important’ rating to the request, you would have automatically
asked the question ‘what will happen if I
remember this or what will happen if I do not remember this?’ and you would have ensured that you remember the
request, small or big!
In
short, if you feel it is important,
you will be careful not to forget!
