1. Identify idiots early. The sooner you can identify an idiot, the sooner you can start to protect yourself from them. 2. Don't try to change idiots. Idiots are not going to change, so don't waste your time and energy trying to do so. 3. Don't take idiots personally. Idiots are not attacking you personally, they are just being idiots. 4. Set boundaries with idiots. Don't let idiots into your life if you don't have to. 5. Don't argue with idiots. It's a pointless exercise.

6. Don't try to explain yourself to idiots. They won't understand. 7. Don't try to reason with idiots. They are not reasonable people. 8. Don't try to please idiots. They are impossible to please.

9. Don't expect idiots to appreciate you. They don't have the capacity to do so. 10. Don't let idiots ruin your day. They are not worth it. 11. Don't become an idiot yourself. It's easy to do, but it's important to remember that there is no excuse for bad behavior. 12. Learn to laugh at idiots. It's the best way to cope with them. 13. Don't take yourself too seriously. Idiots will try to make you feel bad about yourself, but don't let them.

14. Remember that you are not alone. Everyone has to deal with idiots at some point in their lives. 15. Be kind to yourself. Dealing with idiots can be stressful, so make sure to take care of yourself.Sutton's book is a humorous and insightful guide to dealing with idiots. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever had to deal with a difficult person. I hope these lessons help you to deal with idiots effectively and to protect yourself from their negative influence.

15 lessons from How To Deal With Idiots: (and stop being one yourself) by Robert I. Sutton.

Idiocy is all around us, whether it's the uncle spouting conspiracy theories, the colleagues who repeat your point but louder, or the commuters who still don't know how to use an escalator. But what is the answer to this perpetual scourge? Here, philosopher Maxime Rovere turns his attention to the murkiest of intellectual corners. With warmth, wit and wisdom, he illuminates a new understanding of idiots, one which examines our relations to others and our own ego, offers tools and strategies to dismantle the most desperate of idiotic situations, and even reveals how to stop being the idiots ourselves (because we're always someone else's idiot). Expertly translated by David Bellos, this is an erudite, enjoyable and much-needed solution to a most familiar vexation.

Understand yourself and those around you.

How to Deal With Idiots

We all have the ability to change our mind-set to change our core inner beliefs upon which we base our view of ourselves and of the world. But changing our beliefs is not an easy thing to do. 
Most people find changing one small belief extremely difficult, let alone a whole range of self-supporting beliefs based on negative pre-conditioning. What is needed is a tool - a tool for change, that enables us to rapidly install new thought patterns and positive mind-sets, based on proven success models.

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MINDSET:

Fortunately, our mind-set regarding certain aspects of our lives are malleable and are based on our choice of meaning we give to things. If we consciously decide to develop a positive mind-set, empowered by positive thinking together with an attitude of joyous expectance of only the best, we put ourselves in the correct frame of mind to propel ourself into proper action while anticipating and expecting successful outcomes.

Your Mindset Can Be Changed:

Often external events and circumstances seem to rush in to assist with our intended result. This knowledge is priceless. The knowledge that our positive mind-set can translate into a world of difference regardless of the goal we seek.
Three Success Mind-Set Fundamentals
1. Mind-Set Self Confidence
2. Mind-Set Determination & Perseverance
3. Mind-Set & Action

Three Success Mind-Set Fundamentals

If we lack belief in ourself and our capabilities, our self esteem suffers. This results not only in a sense of worthlessness but also helplessness and even hopelessness. This in turn makes us feel inadequate and see everything as pointless. It is easy to stop trying to achieve because there is simply no point. We are defeated before we even begin. That's why the correct self confident mind-set is crucial to all other mind-sets we may adopt. First we must tackle the root.
When we have empowered our SELF with the confidence and belief in our SELF then we will be better able to accomplish the things we are already good at and also to learn how to do the things that at present we cannot. Accomplishing our goals and objectives becomes much much easier. We are empowered from the inside out.

1. Mindset Self Confidence

Embracing a positive mindset involves facing failures with determination and resilience, recognizing that setbacks are a natural part of life. How we interpret and react to failures makes all the difference. Rather than viewing failure as a waste of time, a positive mindset sees it as an opportunity for growth.
While some failures indicate that certain goals may be unattainable, distinguishing between learning experiences and insurmountable obstacles is crucial. 
Achieving valuable goals often requires persistent effort, and a positive mindset recognizes that one failure doesn't mark the end of the journey but rather a redirection. True failure only occurs when we cease to try altogether.

2. Mindset Determination & Perseverance:

The correct positive mind-set leads to proactive positive action. Even when we are unsure or unable to proceed because of lack of knowledge or skill, a positive mind-set allows us to research and acquire those skill sets until we are able to achieve the actions we already know are necessary and important to succeed.
A person's core inner beliefs and thought patterns are what lead to their feelings of potentiality, action and results. Simply by changing your mind-set it is possible to change not only our outlook in life by also the actual results we obtain in life.

3. Mindset & Action

Often if we pay attention to our thoughts we may find that we are processing a lot of negative self talk. This knowledge can sometimes be distressing at first and make us feel somewhat powerless over what thoughts are permeating our minds and our lives. 
But if we start by taking just a few of those negative thought patterns at a time and begin changing them into positive thoughts, we will feel much happier, stronger and more in control of our lives. Anyone and everyone can begin using positive statements to create change and improvements in their life.

Monitoring Your Self Talk

All it takes is the commitment to start and experience the positive benefits that this technique can deliver.Once we have committed to change, to monitor our thoughts and to make positive changes to what we allow to flow through our mind, we can begin to focus and target the areas in which we most wish to bring about lasting change. To start to co-create our world and our universe, internally at first and later externally as well.

Instead of allowing our subconscious mind to flounder without a competent leader to direct it, now we can take charge and provide good sensible leadership. 
Directing our thoughts to show that WE ARE IN CONTROL and we are the one who is leading. Leading with authority and with solid direction.

Co-Creation:

It is often hard for people to imagine and accept that there is a possibility that they are co-creating their life and their world. Because if we are to accept that then we must accept that we have also cocreated all that has happened before. In the end it is always up to us. No one can make us make the changes we may need. It is up to us to examine our negative self talk, to take responsibility for it and ultimately to make the conscious choices that lead to a more positive direction.

These are your thoughts, so YOU can change them. Although your beliefs most likely formed when you were young, you are an adult today and you have the power to affect change in your life. 
This is the essence of personal power: choice and responsibility.

YOU & YOUR MINDSET Be Willing To Change:

The fastest way to change your mind-set is to feed your mind the one you want. Every time you feed yourself a positive mind-set, it weakens the negative ones. You will be instantly creating new neurons that form a new more positive neural network. The more you do this the stronger you new neural network will become. Feeding the positive weakens the negative.
Scientists and perennial wisdom agree with what many successful people have long discovered, that neurons don't know the difference between whether you are actually doing something different or simply visualizing doing it differently. Either way, the neural network grows stronger.

Feed The Mindset You Want:

Allow yourself to create a passion for your new mind-set. The new mind-set you want to create. Doing this creates endorphins in your body that lead to a new sense of well being. This in turn leads to a more inspired and emotionally engaged you, having more fun in your life as you enlarge and make stronger your new neural network.

Love Your Mindset:

Pick one thing you want to change today. It can be one attitude, one belief, or one perspective. Imagine for a moment what you want instead. Let your imagination run wild for just a moment. 
Remember any resistance is just your old neural network playing up as usual. Use the power of your imagination to vividly picture what you really want. Mentally rehearse this for just 10 minutes a day strengthening it by adding enthusiasm, inspiration, and fun. Soon you will be taking small actions that will reinforce your new mind-set.

10 Lessons from Second Chance:

The world is changing, and we need to change with it.
The Industrial Age is over, and the Information Age is moving at an ever-increasing pace. The old rules of money and investing no longer apply. If we want to succeed in the new world, we need to learn new ways of thinking and acting.

Lesson 1

The key to success is to understand the difference between assets and liabilities.
An asset is something that puts money in your pocket. A liability is something that takes money out of your pocket. If you want to be rich, you need to focus on acquiring assets and getting rid of liabilities.

Lesson 2

The rich don't work for money; money works for them.
The rich use their money to make more money. They invest in assets that generate income, such as real estate, stocks, and businesses. The poor work for money and spend it as they earn it.

Lesson 3

You need to be financially educated to succeed in the new world.
Financial education is the most important skill you can have in the new world. It will teach you how to make money, save money, and invest money. Without financial education, you are doomed to fail financially.

Lesson 4

You need to be a creative thinker to succeed in the new world.
The new world is full of opportunities, but you need to be creative to find them. You need to be able to think outside the box and come up with new solutions to old problems.

Lesson 5

You need to be a risk-taker to succeed in the new world.
The new world is full of risks, but you need to be willing to take risks to succeed. If you're not willing to take risks, you'll never achieve your full potential.

Lesson 6

You need to be persistent to succeed in the new world.
The new world is full of setbacks, but you need to be persistent to succeed. If you give up at the first sign of trouble, you'll never achieve your goals.

Lesson 7

You need to be a lifelong learner to succeed in the new world.
The new world is constantly changing, so you need to be a lifelong learner. You need to be constantly learning new things and adapting to new challenges.

Lesson 8

You need to be a global thinker to succeed in the new world.
The new world is a global economy, so you need to be a global thinker. You need to understand the different cultures and markets around the world.

Lesson 9

You need to be a positive thinker to succeed in the new world.
The new world is full of challenges, but you need to be a positive thinker to succeed. If you have a negative attitude, you'll never achieve your goals

Lesson 10

10 lessons from Second Chance: for Your Money, Your Life and Our World by Robert. Kiyosaki and Tim Wheeler.

Few would argue with the fact that, on many fronts, we are a world in crisis. And there are two sides to every crisis, be it a leadership crisis, an economic crisis, an education crisis or a moral crisis. The two side to crisis are danger and opportunity. Robert Kiyosaki's new book, Second Chance...for Your Money and Your Life, uses the lessons from the past and a brutal assessment of the present to prepare readers to see---and seize---the future. If readers can train their minds to see what their eyes cannot, in a world that is becoming increasingly more 'invisible' and moving at a high rate of speed, they can have a second chance at creating the life they've always wanted. The global problems we face cannot be solved by the same minds and people who created them and today's world demands the ability to see the future and prepare for what lies ahead...prepare for the opportunities as well as the challenges. Like it or not, we are all involved in the greatest evolutionary event in human history. The Industrial Age is over and the Information Age continues to accelerate. The visible agents of change have become invisible...and harder to see. And the future belongs to those who can train their minds, use the past to see the future, and take the steps to create the positive change they want to see in their lives. Second Chance is a guide to understanding how the past will shape the future and how you can use Information Age tools and insights to create a fresh start. This book is a guide to facing head-on the dangers of the crises around us--and steps and tips for seizing the opportunities they present.

Kiyosaki is best known for his book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, the #1 New York Times bestseller. Kiyosaki followed with Rich Dad's CASHFLOW Quadrant and Rich Dad's Guide to Investing.

5. Take breaks. It is important to take breaks throughout the day, even if it is just for a few minutes. This will help you to stay focused and productive. 6. Set realistic goals. Don't try to do too much at once. Set realistic goals for yourself and break them down into smaller, more manageable tasks.

7. Prioritize your work. Not all tasks are created equal. Prioritize your work so that you are focusing on the most important things first. 8. Eliminate distractions. This means turning off your phone, closing unnecessary tabs on your computer, and finding a quiet place to work..

10 Lessons from the book When to Jump: If the Job You Have Isn't the Life You Want by Mike Lewis

“A lively and inspiring guidebook for anyone who wants to make the jump from normal to extraordinary.” —Tony Robbins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Unshakeable and MONEY: Master the Game An inspirational book that lays out the “Jump Curve”—four steps to wholeheartedly pursuing the career of your dreams—through experiences from a variety of people who have jumped and never looked backWhen Mike Lewis was twenty-four and working in a prestigious corporate job, he eagerly wanted to leave and pursue his dream of becoming a professional squash player. But he had questions: When is the right time to move from work that is comfortable to a career you have only dared to dream of? How have other people made such a jump? What did they feel when making that jump—and afterward?Mike sought guidance from others who had “jumped,” and the responses he got—from a banker who started a brewery, a publicist who became a Bishop, a garbage collector who became a furniture designer, and on and on—were so clear-eyed and inspiring that Mike wanted to share what he had learned with others who might be helped by those stories. First, though, he started playing squash professionally. The right book at the right time, When to Jump offers more than forty heartening stories (from the founder of Bonobos, the author of The Big Short, the designer of the Lyft logo, the Humans of New York creator, and many more) and takeaways that will inspire, instruct, and reassure, including the ingenious four-phase Jump Curve.

World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea-the power of our mindset. Dweck explains why it's not just our abilities and talent that bring us success-but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn't foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals-personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.

From the renowned psychologist who introduced the world to “growth mindset” comes this updated edition of the million-copy bestseller—featuring transformative insights into redefining success, building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement. “Through clever research studies and engaging writing, Dweck illuminates how our beliefs about our capabilities exert tremendous influence on how we learn and which paths we take in life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes “It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.” After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own.

Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., is one of the world’s leading researchers in the field of motivation and is the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford University. Her research has focused on why people succeed and how to foster success. She has held professorships at Columbia and Harvard Universities, has lectured all over the world, and has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

You know that expression, "Slow and steady wins the race"? Ever heard the story of the tortoise and the hare? Ladies and gentlemen, I'm the tortoise. Give me enough time, and will beat virtually anybody, anytime, in any competition. Why? Not because I'm the best or the smartest or the fastest.

Their success clouded their perspective and they slacked off.
