LVII (Tact. Attentive attitude towards people). About Attentive attitude towards people ()

At the school where I work, there is a class where the teachers go to work in a not very happy mood. There are 30 children in this class. And we know that now many children are hyperactive, very nimble, active, and also... not very well-mannered. And among these 30 there are six or seven such students. And it is not surprising that they are often violators of discipline in the classroom. Some guys support them, others try to restore order in the classroom, calming down the rioters. The result is a general noise consisting of thirty voices. And you need a large supply of knowledge, patience, and understanding to find the keys for each child. After all, it is important for the teacher that all thirty know what a noun is, how to open parentheses correctly, or where the Pacific Ocean is.

This is where being attentive helps, respectful attitude to the child. The attitude is not as to a person brought up, but as to a person. To a person who can offer a wise solution in some matters. For example, at school, when organizing presidential elections, one of the presidential candidates suggested choosing “a leader, not a president,” because “we will all work together anyway, whoever has time does the work, and the leader coordinates the work.” After all, a person thinks correctly. At school, the main work is studying. And the skill of social activities in school years are received by those who want to help teachers in the educational process. And in this process different stages, anyone can become a leader in different events.
So it is in this class: upon careful acquaintance with the children, their weak and strengths. One needs to be supported with praise, another must be forgiven for an unlearned lesson, the third must be told that the teacher makes comments for his benefit, that for the remark one should say “thank you”, the third, when working on a poem, quickly found a rhyme, which means that he should be given the task of writing a poem, oh mom, for example. And then every child feels needed by the teacher, he tries to be better, he is ashamed of not completing the task. One of the kids (not very disciplined) was tasked with checking every day before class to check with a group of children whether their notebooks had written homework assignments. One day the teacher finds out that the inspector himself did not do his homework. The teacher forgave, on the condition that this would not happen again. The inspired child again began checking his classmates’ notebooks. This situation repeated itself twice more, but the teacher patiently listened to the reason and with understanding allowed me to continue working. Now the guy does all his homework himself and keeps others under control.
Our children are a reflection of their parents. It is also important to help parents establish contact with their child. When the mother of one of the girls in this class came and said that she was a “B student” at school, and that’s why the child had problems, the teacher was surprised. The girl had no problems with learning - she was a smart child, but had problems with discipline. And when the mother began to bring the girl to school so that she would not be late, when the mother did not become lazy at least to check the availability of homework, the girl became much more cheerful, she became less aggression, her classmates reached out to her.
I read somewhere that if a person spends 2.5 hours daily at the computer, then average duration life at 70 years old, we will spend 6 years of our life on a computer. And in a survey of parents, the question “How much time do you spend communicating with your child?” the answer was received: on average about 30-40 minutes per day. I think comments are unnecessary.
It is very important that our children feel our attention, feel the interest of an adult in their life. Not only in learning, but in life. To relate to little man It was like an attitude towards a person who has his own interests, his own understanding of the current moment. Then every minute of communication with the child, both in class and outside of class, will bring only joy.


This means a transition to a certain level of development, when attention is no longer enough only for your loved one, and you can’t just forget about some things that you didn’t care about before. Also, this means the development of the brain, since one can already imagine how actions and actions will be reflected in the future, the ability to follow the path least harm, greatest benefit and moral truth.

Carnegie and Weller should be burned in the first trash container you come across, they have nothing to do with it. Everything they wrote on this topic is obvious, and has been known to people since the time of the king of peas. If we are to be attentive, then it should be sincere, on our own, without book tips. I don’t even know what contributes to this. Apparently, some kind of inner desire, respect, maybe good upbringing. By the way, selfless attention is very rare. The same Carnegie teaches to be attentive only for the purpose of receiving attention in return.

And why should I agree that attention to people is always determined by selfish motives? 0 – this implies the statement that all people are selfish. Maybe so, in every human act, with desire and dexterity, selfishness is seen. Some have become so trained in this vision that it is impossible to dissuade them. (the harmful influence of books. Hehe.) 1 - Yes, truisms, which are familiar to everyone, but not everyone follows them - the truths. Because it is not always convenient, necessary, profitable, simple, etc. Where are these people, where are these people... Where are the people who read Carnegie. Do you have any guarantee that at least 30% of the people who seemed attentive to you have studied Carnegie? 2 – oh, this is where the harmful influence of literature comes into play. “Ah, I did a good deed. What a great fellow I am, how significant I am.” The brain gives a signal, the body rejoices for half an hour, or an hour, or 2.. is that right? Hehe. 3 – I will no longer consume pretentious phrases, point 3 repeats point 0.

Man, by nature, requires attention to his person. Therefore, you need to treat people accordingly, with attention (and understanding, of course): every hour inquire about the health of your loved ones (they will be imbued with your concern), at night (as often as possible) call your friends and unobtrusively ask if everything is calm and if you are sleeping soundly ( after receiving an affirmative answer, sigh with relief and wish Good night), convene collective(!) meetings to solve problems in the personal life of one of your comrades, help others in absolutely EVERYTHING, especially(!) when no one asks for it (this is only out of politeness, don’t hesitate), strongly give others advice and feel free to demand that you follow them, and finally remember: EVERYONE will appreciate your attention when you surprise a friend in the form of an unexpected visit ( shining example for imitation - Winnie the Pooh) - believe me!

I don’t know.. It’s probably great when, through the frantic rhythms of life, someone remembers you and your problems. Attentive means sensitive, that is, say, when you feel bad, an attentive person will not sit and itch: “Poor you, poor! How I understand you! Last week I had ..”, he will understand that such a market is for you I don’t need you now, I’ll just sit next to you and hold your hand. And good.

I love it when people treat me attentively, especially when visiting me when I’m shy :)

11/12/08, idiosyncrasy
Observation, study, noticing flaws, detection weak points and everything that can be used against them in the future - also attention. Attentiveness is necessary for interaction that is most adequate to their properties, self-defense and not causing unnecessary harm to others. At least for the pursuit of all this, since in the absolute it is impossible.

(Tact. Attentive attitude towards people)

Dear friend!

‹…› Here is my other urgent advice to you: not only in Germany, but in general in any country to which you ever happen to go, you must not only be attentive to everyone who speaks to you, but also do so so that your interlocutor feels this attention. The worst offense is obvious inattention to the person who is telling you something, and it is the most difficult to forgive this offense. But I happened to know people who degraded themselves in the eyes of others because of some awkward antics, in my opinion, not at all as offensive as the outrageous inattention that I am talking about. In my life I have seen many people who, when you talk to them, instead of looking at you and listening to you carefully, stare at the ceiling or somewhere in the corner, look out the window, play with a dog, twirl a snuff box in their hands, or picking their nose. This is the most sure sign a petty, frivolous and empty person, and also ill-mannered; by this you frankly admit that every most insignificant subject is more worthy of your attention than everything that can be said by your interlocutor. Judge for yourself how much indignation and even hatred will fill the heart of someone who has even the slightest bit of self-love with such behavior. And I can say with confidence that I have never met a person who lacks it. I repeat to you again and again (for you absolutely need to remember this) - this kind of vanity and pride are inseparable from the nature of man, whatever his position or title; even your own lackey, and he will sooner forget and forgive you cuffs than obvious neglect and contempt. Therefore, I ask you, not only be attentive, but also know how to show every person who speaks to you, obvious and noticeable attention, Furthermore, be able to pick up his tone and tune yourself into his mood. Be serious with a serious person, cheerful with a cheerful person and frivolous with a carminative person. As you take on these different guises, try to look at ease in each of them, to act as if it comes naturally to you. This is that real and useful flexibility that is acquired by a thorough knowledge of the world, which opens a person’s eyes both to its benefits and to how to acquire this flexibility.

I am sure and, in any case, I hope that you will never use stupid words that fools and stupid people are very fond of, absurdly trying to justify themselves with them: “I can’t do this,” when we're talking about about things that are neither due to physical nor due to moral reasons are not impossible. “I can’t pay attention to one thing for a long time,” says one fool: it only means that he’s such a fool that he can’t. I remember a hulk who didn’t know where to put his sword, and every time he used to take it off before dinner, saying that he couldn’t possibly eat dinner when he had his sword. Once I couldn’t resist and told him that this could be done without endangering myself or others. It is shameful and absurd to say that you are not able to do what all the people around you do every day.

There is one more vice that I must warn you against - laziness: nothing, perhaps, prevented people from spending their travels so profitably. Please, always be on the move. In the morning, get up early and explore the city, and in the afternoon try to see more people. If you only have to stay for a week in some very small town, still see everything there is to see there, get to know some people, maybe a large number people and visit all the houses you can.

I also advise you, although perhaps you have already thought about it yourself, to always carry in your pocket a map of Germany, on which all the postal roads are marked, as well as some kind of short guide. Looking at a map, you will remember the locations of individual places and the distances between them, and from a guidebook you will learn about many attractions that you should see and which might otherwise escape your attention;

although in themselves they may not mean so much, you will later regret that you visited these cities and did not see them.

Now you are prepared for the journey and warned about everything, and may God protect you. Felix faustumque sit! Goodbye.

Chapter LVII Folly says: Popes, cardinals and bishops not only rival sovereigns in pomp, but sometimes even surpass them. Hardly anyone thinks that a snow-white linen robe means an immaculate life. Whoever thinks that a two-horned miter with a knot,

Attentiveness as a personality quality is the ability to selectively and concentratedly focus consciousness on one’s own inner world, on some person, external object, phenomenon or activity; the ability to listen carefully to another person, resonating with his consciousness.

Once an old Chinese teacher said to his student: - Please look carefully at this room and try to find in it everything that has Brown color. The young man looked around. There were many brown objects in the room: wooden picture frames, a sofa, a curtain rod, book bindings and many more. various little things. - Now close your eyes and list all the items... blue color, - asked the teacher. The young man was confused: “But I didn’t notice anything!” Then the teacher said: - Open your eyes. Just look at how many blue objects there are!!! It was true: a blue vase, blue photo frames, a blue carpet... The student replied: - But this is a trick! After all, at your direction, I was looking for brown, not blue objects! The teacher sighed quietly and then smiled: “That’s exactly what I wanted to show you!” You searched and found only brown. The same thing happens to you in life: you are inattentive - you look for and find only the bad and don’t pay attention to all the good! “I was always taught that you should expect the worst, and then you will never be disappointed.” And if the worst doesn't happen, then what awaits me is a pleasant surprise. Well, if I always hope for the best, I will expose myself to the risk of disappointment! - Confidence in the benefits of expecting the worst makes us lose sight of all the good things that happen in our lives. If you expect the worst, you will definitely get it. And vice versa. It is possible to find a point of view from which every experience has a positive meaning. From now on you will be attentive to everything positive!

When a person develops the habit of listening carefully to the voice of his own mind, soul and conscience, when his behavior is under the careful supervision of the mind, when he is attentive to the desires and intentions of others, when he notices the smallest changes in the external environment, he can safely diagnose attentiveness as his manifestation. personality quality. A happy owner of this quality sees the world more clearly and consciously, anticipates problematic situations and therefore reacts to them more adequately. Mindfulness coupled with observation makes a person capable of learning. Attentiveness - wonderful student, ready to listen and hear the teacher. The range of its interests, as a rule, is an order of magnitude higher than that of inattention.

A person with mindfulness has well-developed involuntary attention and the ability to concentrate and focus. Even while doing something he doesn’t like, an attentive person instantly mobilizes voluntary attention, concentrates, and performs his duties thoroughly and diligently. There is such a parable. The lion felt that he had grown very old and could no longer hunt for food. He began to starve. And then he decided on a trick. He climbed into the cave and pretended to be sick. The animals heard about the lion's illness and began to come to him. And the lion, as soon as they entered the cave, grabbed them and ate them. I decided to come and visit the lion and the fox. But she did not enter his cave, but stopped at the entrance. - How are you, king of beasts? - she asked. - Welcome, fox, welcome, little sister-fox! It's good that you came. I miss you so much. But why don't you come in? - said the lion. And the fox answered: “I don’t go in because there are many tracks going into the cave, and I don’t see them coming back out.”

Attentiveness is a personality quality, usually characteristic of outstanding scientists, writers, artists, and inventors. The famous naturalist Charles Darwin wrote in his autobiography: “I am superior ordinary people the ability to notice things that easily escape attention and subject them to careful observation.” I.P. could say the same about himself. Pavlov, who closely followed all the experiments in his laboratories. Therefore, he often knew the results and details of individual experiments even better than the employees who directly carried them out. Writers L.N. Tolstoy, A.P. Chekhov, A.M. Gorky, K.G. Paustovsky and others had great attentiveness to their surroundings. They could very subtly describe a person after just one meeting with him.

For example, Chekhov “predicted” that Rachmaninov would produce “ big man" Chekhov met Rachmaninov in Yalta. Rachmaninov was an accompanist at Chaliapin's concerts. Later, Rachmaninov proudly recalled how at one of his first concerts Chekhov approached him and said: “You, young man, will become a great man.” In response, Rachmaninov was surprised at this assumption, but Chekhov explained his “prediction” simply - “it’s written on your face.” Chekhov's extraordinary attentiveness and observation, his attention to detail, without which his literature could not have existed, were reflected in Everyday life. For example, K.S. Stanislavsky recalled the following incident: “One day a person close to me came into my dressing room, very cheerful, cheerful, and considered in society to be a little dissolute. Anton Pavlovich looked at him very intently all the time and sat with serious face silently, without interfering in our conversation. When the gentleman left, Anton Pavlovich repeatedly came up to me throughout the evening and asked all sorts of questions about this gentleman. When I began to ask about the reason for such attention to him, Anton Pavlovich told me: “Listen, he’s a suicide.” This connection seemed very funny to me. I remembered this with amazement a few years later, when I learned that this man had actually been poisoned.”

Mindfulness is directly involved in the “circle of happiness in nature.” Mindfulness in relationships takes the form of caution and focus. A man meets a woman. During the candy-flower period of a relationship, he is very attentive and helpful. The expectation of pleasure motivates him to be attentive. Inspired by future happiness, he behaves very carefully and attentively with a woman. After a close relationship, attentiveness somehow wanes, relaxation sets in, and the man becomes inattentive and careless. Happiness turns around and leaves the relationship. Here he clutches his head, lamenting and blaming himself for his inattention. Happiness wants to believe in these words of repentance, and it, being generous, returns. Time passes, the man relaxes again, and happiness leaves his home. Thus, the cycle of happiness occurs in nature. Therefore, maintaining relationships means maintaining mindfulness. This is the secret of strong and friendly family. IN. Ruzov says: “You need to hang a poster in the newlyweds’ apartment: “Be careful and careful in the next 30 years!” And then be even more careful and careful. And improving relationships means a more attentive attitude towards a person, and a more careful one. Here is the relationship formula. Very simple. Not complicated. You don't need to graduate from psychology institutes. Here is the whole relationship formula in a nutshell. You don't need to know anything else: neither behaviorism, nor anything else. There is no need to study Freud from him mental disorders. No need. It’s enough to know these two words. All. All psychological problems resolved in this case. A person understands what the problem is and he understands the solution method. This is the principle."

Or another example. A man buys a car. At first he is attentive and careful, literally blowing away specks of dust from his acquisition. A week passes, and attentiveness is replaced by relaxation, which is driven out by a depeesnik or a kiss with a pillar. After fines or hospital, he again takes care.

Mindfulness does not extend to everything around you. She has a tunnel-like, directional vision of the world. IN interpersonal relationships mindfulness can place its keen eye on the desires and intentions of another person, compare them with one's own moral principles, and then show consideration to the person in the form of sensitivity, compassion, caring and responsiveness. An inattentive person receives the labels “callousness”, “selfishness”, “bad manners”, “coldness” and “indifference”, and all because the states, needs and requirements of those around him pass by his consciousness.

Attentiveness is a very practical personality quality that helps a person in the most difficult and unsafe situations. In conjunction with rationality, she learns life’s lessons the first time, without stepping on life’s “rake” for the hundredth time. A young, beautiful tree grew in the middle of the clearing. A Donkey ran across the clearing, gaped and ran into this tree as fast as he could, so much so that sparks fell from his eyes. Donkey got angry. I went to the river and called Beaver. - Beaver! Do you know a clearing where one tree grows? - How not to know! - Get rid of this tree, Beaver! Your teeth are sharp... - Why else? - Yes, I smashed my forehead on it - I gave myself a bump! -Where were you looking? - “Where, where”... I gaped - and that’s it... Knock down the tree! - It's a pity to leave. It decorates the clearing. - But it’s stopping me from running. Down, Beaver, tree! - Don't want. - Is it difficult for you, or what? - It’s not difficult, but I won’t. - Why? - Because if I knock him down, you’ll run into a tree stump! - And you uproot the stump! “I’ll uproot the stump, you’ll fall into a hole and you’ll break your legs!” - Why? - Because you are a Donkey! - said Beaver.
