A new kind of club



Hi everybody, how are you feeling? a little bit tired? Me too, but we are almost done right? I'm writing this last blog for this period of time. Hope you like it.
In the twentieth a psycologist George W. Crane started to teach psycology at the Northwestern University in Chicago. His clases were at night with people who work in stores, offices and factories in Chicago during the day, so they used to take this classes at night.

One night a woman named Luisa told Dr. Crane she felt lonely without any friends after she moved to Chicago. "I don't know anybody except a girl at the office" she said.

It was due to Luisa's problem that Dr. Crane planned something he called "the flatter club". On the next week, he announced to the class: "you must use your psycology everyday whether at home, at work in the trains and in the buses" said Dr. Crane. "Everyday you must give a sincere flatter to three different persons each day during thirty days. After that I want you to write an essay about your own experiences" he continues "write about the changes you noticed in the people around you, as well as your own personal change in the way you see the life".

Some of Crane's students didn't want to accept that task. They said they don't know what to say to the people, some others were afraid to be rejected, some of them thought that will be dishonest to flatter a person they don't like. "Suppose you see someone you don't like" said a student "wouldn't this will be false?" "Of course not, this will not be lack of sincerity to flatter your enemy" answer Dr. Crane "To flatter someone is to recognize the good things the persons have, your flatter is to lift up the moral of the lonely souls. You don't know the effect that your words will do in a boy or a girl, man or woman in the critic moment they need it.

Dr. Crane's students discovered that their sincere flatters had a possitive effect on all persons around them and the experience had even a better effect on them. Luisa became a real sociable person.

We can lift up persons or put them down in the floor in our relationships. Dr. Crane said " The world is dieing due to lack of love and it is hunger of flatters.

Ok my friends, this is not the end it's just part of the book I'm reading. The author is John C. Maxwell and this is going to be the last blog I write from this period of classes.
