Wise man

A poor Jew finds a wallet with $700 in it. At his synagogue, he reads a notice saying that a wealthy congregant lost his wallet and is offering a $100 reward for it. He spots the owner and gives him the wallet.

The rich man counts the money and says, “I see you already took your reward.”

The poor man answers, “What?”

“This wallet had $800 in it when I lost it.”

They begin arguing, and eventually come before the rabbi. Both state their case. The rich man concludes by saying, “Rabbi, I trust you believe ME.”

The Rabbi says, “Of course,” and the rich man smiles. The poor man is crushed.

Then the Rabbi hands the wallet to the poor man.

“What are you doing?!” yells the rich man.

The Rabbi answers, “You are, of course, an honest man, and you say the wallet you lost had $800 in it. Therefore I’m sure it did. But if the man who found this wallet is a liar and a thief, he wouldn’t have returned it at all. Which means that this wallet must belong to somebody else. If that man steps forward, he’ll get the money. Until then, it belongs to the man who found it.”

“What about my money?” the rich man asks.

“Well, we’ll just have to wait until somebody finds a wallet with $800 in it …”

What language is your body speaking?

Your body often speaks on your behalf, sometimes without you knowing what it’s saying. Studies show that your words account for only 7% of the messages you convey, the remaining 93% is non-verbal – based on what people see and hear through the tone of your voice. So in business meetings, people can see what you’re not saying. It’s important to make sure your body language matches your words if you want them to ring true.

Being aware of your body language works best if you add sincerity – avoid faking it.

Infect with passion. Exude enthusiasm and offer a welcoming face to the people you’re addressing.

What you say is not as important as how you say it. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

End meetings with solid punctuation: eye contact and firm handshake is the equivalent of a full stop.

Body language is a subtle but important form of communication.
