I’ve been to several continents and have met a lot of people: from A-list celebrities in Miami and Los Angeles, to my illiterate grandmother who got married when she was 14 years old (my grandma’s experience reminds me of Breakfast at Tiffany’s in which Audrey Hepburn’s character got married when she was a teenager as well)… Therefore, I can confirm that international travel has definitely expanded my outlook in general.
- Because of international travel, I learned Law of Reciprocity.
When I was in my early 30s, I went to the United States to attend a seminar in which my mentor was teaching human dynamics and communication skills. At that time, I learned Law of Reciprocity which has benefited my life tremendously.
Law of Reciprocity means when you give good value, you will also receive good value. In business and in life, you can only get what you give.
Therefore, if you want other people to help you, you should offer your help first. By helping others proactively, others will naturally want to help you due to Law of Reciprocity.
Please let me give you a typical example: There is a reason why content marketing is the only marketing left. Basically, content marketing is all about giving good value for free, i.e., giving great, free content on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram so that the audience can see how wonderful the content is. In this way, a big percentage of the audience may become real customers who are happy to buy a business’s products or service.
Another way to understand this concept is free samples that you can get at cosmetics counters in a department store. They give you free samples because they want you to know how amazing their products are. After trying something for free, you are very likely to buy that product if you like the sample.
- Due to international travel, I also learned Law of Attraction.
I went to New Zealand in 2018 where I met a new friend who taught me how Law of Attraction actually works.
Previously, I thought Law of Attraction is some spiritual stuff that nobody can understand. But after this new friend explained how Law of Attraction really works, I have fully understood why this is a powerful tool that everyone should be equipped with!
In fact, Law of Attraction is very different from wishful thinking. Law of Attraction is all about feeling positive feelings before great things happen for you.
When you get up in the morning, you should decide that you are in a good mood, and then you are more likely to have a good mood throughout the day. You shouldn’t allow anything random to ruin your good mood. In other words, how you feel is a decision if you are determined to change your life forever.
“Law of Reciprocity and Law of Attraction are very powerful laws that everyone should be aware of.”
