When you want to make a change, to influence someone, or to make a difference, you get to make an assertion.
An assertion is something that you believe is true. But you need to test it to confirm it.
You assertion may be like this – ” No matter how educated, talent, rich, or cool you believe you are, how you treat people ultimately tells all. Integrity is everything.”
With this assertion, you may need to test:
- What is the definition of integrity?
- What would happen for the highly educated, rich or cool people who don’t have integrity?
- What does a person having integrity behave?
- Why integrity is everything?
If someone is challenging your assertion, what would be your alternative answer? How will you test it?
You see, through this thinking and testing process, you can get clarity, make progress, and get better on going everything!
Make assertions for your work, for your life, for everything you do, and test them. This is how we make small changes. Little by little, you can make a difference.
