Recently happen to read the book “The 100/0 Principle, Al Ritter” on human relationships.
Felt like once must read and give a try to the principle of 100/0 in once life. Few extracts from the book……………………
What is the best to sustain relationships with others?
It's 100/0 Principle: You take full responsibility (the 100) for the relationship, expecting nothing (the 0) in return.
Implementing 100/0 Principle takes real commitment to the relationship and a good dose of self-discipline to think, act and give 100 percent.
1 - Decide what you can do to make the relationship work...then do it. Give respect and kindness to the other person, whether he/she deserves it or not.
2 - Do not expect anything in return.
3 - Do not allow anything the other person in relationship says or does to affect you.
4 - Be consistent with your respect and kindness. Don’t give up, even the others don't respond. Remember to expect nothing in return.
At times the relationship can remain challenging, especially in this busy practical and materialistic world and even toxic, despite your 100 percent commitment and self-discipline.
When you take authentic responsibility for a relationship, more often than not the other person quickly chooses to take responsibility as well. Consequently, the 100/0 relationship quickly transforms into something approaching 100/100.
