Fundamental Techniques to Handling People

A free article on People Skills

May 7,1931,New York
had the most sensational man hunt ever known.
"Two gun" Crowley the gunman who didn't
smoke or drink and was trapped in his girlfriends
apartment on West End Avenue.

One hundred and fifty policemen
laid siege to his apartment.
They teargased him and
mounted their machine guns
to surrounding buildings.

For one hour New York residential areas
reverberated with the crack of
pistol fire and machine guns.
Crowley fired incessantly
crouched behind an over-stuffed chair.

When Crowley was captured
it was told that he was one of the most
dangerous criminals in the history of New York,
and that he would kill at the drop of a hat.

But How Did "Two Gun" Crowley regard himself?

It was during this frachard
between Crowley and the police,
that Crowley wrote a letter addressed

"To whom it may concern"

In this blood soaked letter Crowley wrote,
"Under my coat is a weary heart,
but a kind one, one that would do
nobody any harm".

A short time before this Crowley was with
his girlfriend on a country road,
when a policeman walked up and asked
him for his license, without a word Crowley
drew his gun, and cut the policeman down.

Crowley jumped out of the
car took the revolver from the policeman,
and continued to shoot him dead.

Crowley was sentenced to death
by electric chair,His last words were not

"This is what I get For Killing People"?

Rather He said
"This is what I get for defending Myself"!

The Point Of The Story Is This:
Crowley didn't blame
himself for anything he had done!

Is that an Unusual Attitude among criminals?
If you think so then listen to this...

I've spent the best years of my life
giving people the lighter pleasures,
helping them have a good time, and all I
get is abuse, the existence of a hunted man.

Al Capone said that!

Americas most notorious
public enemy. Capone didn't condemn himself,
he regarded himself as a public benefactor, he was
just unappreciated and misunderstood.

Now if Al Capone, and "Two gun"Crowley
along with all those men and women
behind prison walls don't blame themselves
what about those we come in contact with.

I learnt fairly early in life that it is foolish
to scold, you have enough
problems overcoming your own troubles
with out fretting over the fact
that God has not seen fit to
distribute evenly, the gift of intelligence.

That 99 times out of 100 people don't criticize
themselves no matter how wrong it may be.
Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the
defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself.

When your tempted to critize someone,
remember Al Capone and "Two Gun" Crowley,
realize that criticisms are like homing pigeons,
they always return home.

We must realize that the person we are
going to correct and condemn
will probably justify themselves
and condemn us,all in the same breath.

Instead of condemning people, we need to
try to understand them, figure out why they do what they do.
It's alot more profitable and it breeds sympathy,
tolerance and kindness.

To know all is to forgive all.

God himself does not propose to judge man
until the end of his days.

Why Should You And I?

Principal #1.
Don't Criticize, Condemn or Complain.
