8 Things You Need To Remember About Your Resume

The average recruiter spends only 15 seconds looking at your resume. That is not a lot of time in the grand scheme of things.

You can read every book and blog post to try to figure out what it is they are looking for but the best tactic is to go directly to the source. And that is what we did!

We talked to career coach resume expert and Owner/Principal of Professional Services firm Career Polish, Inc. , Lisa K. McDonald. She gave us some of her best secrets (that would probably cost you a pretty penny) for free!

1. Do not mass produce

Lisa says one resume is not appropriate or every single job for which you apply. Do not treat your resume as a one-size fits all – it doesn’t. You should have a baseline resume, or what I call a working draft. This resume could be three or more pages long and the bullet points should cover any direction that you could go.

If you are considering opportunities in training, project management or a technical position make sure that you cover all the bases in the working draft. When you find an opportunity then you can go back and eliminate the bullets that do not speak directly to that position. Your introductory sales statement should also be specifically geared for the one position that you are applying for at that time.

2. Apples to apples not oranges

Do not waste the reader’s time on information that does not relate to the specific job. If your past position is not a perfect fit for the opportunity but there were elements of this new position in what you did focus on that.

Think of the 80/20 rule. Spend 80 percent of your bullets focusing on the direct relationship and 20 percent on supporting information. You want to build rapport and allow the reader to see you in this role so make it easy for them and speak directly to what they are looking for based on your experience.

3. Job success is the opposite of the stock market clause

Lisa says “past performance is not an indicator of future success,” but the opposite holds true for candidates – past success is an indicator of future success. If you did it before or with another company odds are you can do it again.

Unfortunately job seekers mistakenly think that successes are only things that can be tangible or measured; in other words numbers. Not so. You can bring value and benefit in intangible ways. For example building engagement, improving communications, increasing efficiency – these are all things that are important components, but cannot be measure in percentages. How did you add value – figure it out and let the reader know!

4. Write toward the future, don’t rehash the past

Too often resumes are a conglomerate of cliff notes of prior job descriptions. The problem with this is three-fold.

–What you were hired to do and what you actually did often turn out to be two different animals.
–A job description tells me what you were hired to do, not if you actually did it and beyond that if you did it well.
–It tells me nothing about the value you added as an individual. Others may have held the same position but how did you do it better? It is up to you to tell the reader these fine points.
Stop right now, take out your resume and after every single bullet point write the words, “which resulted in” at the end then finish the sentence. If you cannot describe how you added value in performing your duties then they have no business on your resume.

(Be sure to re-write your resume after completing this exercise; do not leave the “which resulted in” for each bullet point. Create engaging bullet points adding these factors.)

5. Do not overestimate

Once again to remind you, it is generally accepted that on first blush a reader spends an average of 15 seconds on a resume so you have to make it count.This is where a strong opening statement, or a sales statement, comes into play.

Lisa calls it a sales statement because at the beginning of your resume you should set the tone for the reader as to who you are, what you have to offer and the position for which you are applying. Do not forget to include the position name or title. The reader may be reviewing resumes for several different positions and you do not want them to have to try to guess which one you are targeting. Their time is valuable – make it easy for them.

6. Answer their most important question

One critical element mentioned in the sales statement is what you have to offer. The reader has one underlying question: what can you do for me? Answer that question first and foremost and set the tone for the rest of the resume to support those statements.

This is not a matter of letting them connect the dots; it is a matter of setting expectations and leading them down the path of seeing you, and only you, in the role they want to fill. Throughout the resume continue to answer this question by demonstrating rather than stating.

Telling me you performed a task does not convey that you have mastered the skills. Telling me how you did it, who you worked with and the value that you added builds credibility. It demonstrates you know the purpose and how it adds value to your customers, company and team members.

7. Do not rely solely on technology

Spell check is not always your friend. You can write the sentence, “I worked four Merrill Lynch” and spell check and grammar check will not let you know you made a mistake. Take time to read your resume and have others do so as well.

Often our mind “sees” what we expect to be there rather than what truly is so take time to review it carefully. One trick that can help is to read the resume in reverse. Start at the bottom and read the last sentence or read the sentence backwards. It will feel odd, but it will help stop your mind from assuming.

8. Be you and shine through

When someone reads your resume they get a sense of who you are based on the visual element, as well as tone throughout the resume similar to forming a mental image of a character in a book that you are reading. I can read a resume and pick up on if the writer hated a past job, if they are trying to fluff a position because they feel there was not a lot to it, or if they were engaged and really contributed. Use words that reflect you as a person.

If you are a behind the scenes kind of person do not use words that describe you as a take-charge front line person. Be true to who you are and create that image. When the reader speaks to you in person and the image they created and the persona you project match it builds their confidence in what you have presented. If there is conflict the reader will get confused as to who is the real you.

Remember, they only believe about half of what you say because many resumes are overstated or over-fluffed so consistency and truthfulness build credibility.

What Your Interview Body Language Reveals About You

Poor body language can derail an interview regardless of how confident and well-spoken you are.

Body language is as much a part of your communication style as what you say verbally – it’s really about how you say it. Impressions are made within seconds of reviewing body language.

Consider the first step to entering an interview – the handshake. While it may take less than 10 seconds to complete a handshake, in that time, the interviewer has already developed an impression of your character based on eye contact and the firmness of your shake.

A weak handshake and lack of eye contact can leave the impression you are timid and insecure. A sincere and firm handshake with eye contact expresses professionalism and confidence. An overpowering handshake with a fixed gaze may come across as overconfident and arrogant. So, be cautious with your next handshake and start the interview off with a positive impression.

Body language is present from head to toe. Consider the following:

Posture

Whether you are sitting or standing, your posture projects a level of confidence and engagement in the conversation. When one slumps, it implies to the interviewer a lack of confidence and interest. Sitting stiff as a rock implies nervousness and it creates an uncomfortable situation for building rapport. Sitting at the tip of the chair implies you don’t want to be there.

Lying back on the chair with your ankle on top of your other knee may come off appearing unprofessional and too relaxed. In general, crossing your arms and legs may be interpreted as building a barrier.

To project professionalism, confidence and engagement, consider sitting on the chair with your lower back touching or close to the back panel while leaning 10 degrees forward. Keep your hands relaxed in your lap and feet grounded on the floor. When standing, avoid crossing your arms or placing them in your pockets. The point is to project a balanced posture that is not limp or overly stiff.

Eye Contact

Eye contact allows you and the interviewer to connect beyond words alone. However, there is a fine balance between good eye contact and when eye contact becomes a weird gaze or stare that can make the other person feel uncomfortable. When you stare without having breaks in between, a casual conversation can come across as a lecture.

Whether you are listening or speaking, maintain eye contact with your interviewer for a couple of seconds at a time (no more than 7 to 10 seconds) and then glance away before returning eye contact again. If you are looking down to take notes, look up occasionally, especially when it appears a special point is being made or when you are asked a question.

Voice

Speed, tone and pitch combined presents an impression. Talking too fast can be hard to understand and appear as nervousness. When your tone projects apology or defense, you can come across as unconfident and insecure. When you don’t make changes between your tone and pitch, you can sound monotone, making it more difficult for the other person to stay engaged.

Learn to take control of your voice. If you are nervous, it can come across in your pitch so take a breath to help you relax before speaking. Be conscious of your tone and pitch to offer variation and to help emphasize certain points.

Bobble Head

Some people have a tendency to bobble their head as a gesture of agreement, but when you nod in excess during a conversation, it becomes a distraction and can be interpreted as though you are agreeing on everything for the sake of wanting to please. You can lose credibility in such instances.

To avoid appearing like a bobble head, nod occasionally to show you are still engaged and have control over how you nod. You can also tilt your head slightly to the side as though you are trying to listen more carefully as another way to show you are engaged.

Extremities

There are people who do certain things out of habit, such as flaring arms while talking, twirling hair, playing with a pen in hand, rocking back and forth on a chair and shaking or thumping their feet. Many of these actions occur unconsciously, however, these are distractions to the person you are speaking to and may be perceived as signs you are bored or have trouble focusing. Some people also touch their nose or face frequently when they are nervous. An interviewer may perceive this as a sign you are not being totally honest.

Be conscious of what you do with your hands, legs and feet and that will help you take control of your movements.

Be aware of your own body language and also read your interviewer’s body language to give you hints about how she is responding to you. The interview may start off very formal, but as you both become acquainted with one another, the mood may relax and you may adapt your body language to reflect what you sense from the interviewer.

There is no absolute rule around body language, but it would be wise to avoid any chance of being misinterpreted. You can properly prepare your body language before heading into an interview by watching yourself in the mirror act out how you introduce yourself and speak. Another helpful way is to have someone interview you and video record the entire session. Review how you present yourself and become aware of problem areas to adjust before your interview.

Top 5 Mistakes People Make When Starting A New Job
Yun Siang Long

You may have heard of the term career su***de. Most of the time you hear it when people pass a wrong comment to the boss and you hear someone say, “Are you trying to commit career su***de?” It’s all too easy to destroy your career if you make some of these mistakes.

Mistakes People Make When Starting A New Job

These are the top five mistakes people make when starting a new job. You would have probably had these experiences with new people you do not welcome. We will never know if these people deliberately commit these killer mistakes. We can only guess.

But if you are joining a new company, do keep these in mind so you do not cut short your experience in your new job.

1. Have A ‘Better Than Thou’ Attitude

No matter how skilled and how knowledgeable you are in your field, be humble. You are there to contribute, not make people feel bad about themselves.

You may be handpicked or headhunted to join the company to ‘clean up’ their act, but you still need to act with humility. You are new and do not understand and know the terrain. You need friends and you will need cooperation from everyone to execute your work.

Do not think that you are there to show them how to do things. Even if it is a positive change, learn to get cooperation. Do not strut around with a better than thou attitude and be so cocky. People will plot for your downfall and it’s a sure way for career su***de.

2. Comparing The Previous Company To The Present

Don’t you just hate it when you hear new colleagues bragging about how their previous company is better than yours? You wonder, if this place is so bad – why don’t you just quit? Why did you join in the first place?

You often hear them say things like “At ###, we always did this and did that, and it’s a far better way than here… ”

When joining a new company understand people have their ways of doing things, rightly or wrongly. If you have a better way of doing things, find the right forum to air your suggestions. Frame your suggestions in a friendly manner. Comparing it to your previous company and saying how great it was will just hasten your career su***de.

3. Expecting Respect And Trust

Respect needs to be earned and trust can only be gained through time and work quality. You have to work at it. This is a new company and you are only as good as your last project.

Colleagues in your new company have not seen your work hence you have not earned the right to boast and brag on anything at all. Do not expect respect and trust to be given easily. You are committing career su***de if you expect people to just respect and trust you without solid work quality.

4. Being Rude

It’s bad enough that being rude anywhere will make you unwelcomed. It is worst if you are rude at your new workplace. It’s a sure way to commit career su***de.

Be nice to people when you are in a new work environment regardless of how famous you are or how good you think you are at your job. It’s just common sense. Do not have the attitude that you are only there to work. While that may be true, work is done by people, hence you need to be good to people. Not rude.

I have personally heard people say things like “I am here to work, not make friends.” You can guess if this person can last long in the new company.

5. Disregard Existing Cultures And Dynamics

Every company has their culture and internal dynamics. Failure to respect the way things are in a new company and having a total disregard for it will spell the start of your career destruction. Learn these cultures whether you like them or not, understand the internal dynamics that is at play. Do not be judgmental.

There is a reason why these exist before you arrived. You can learn to change it gradually later. But for now, as a newbie in a new company, disregarding these will just mean a quick end to your career.

Common sense as these may sound; these five killer mistakes are commonly made in the corporate world. Perhaps it has become a trend to become cold and calculated so new executives walk around the offices thinking everyone owes them a living.

It's Not Me, It's You: 5 Ways To Avoid Another Horrible boss

A bad boss can drive you to the brink. How to make sure you never have one again.

There's nothing worse than a bad boss, and nearly everyone ends up with one or two during their careers. However, if you are repeatedly working for miscreant managers, you should stop blaming your bosses and examine your boss selection methodology. I wouldn't have thought it at the time, but when I think back to my bad bosses, I have to admit that in each case there were clear warning signs that I chose to either discount or ignore entirely.

Try these five tips to keep you from the clutches of a bad boss.

1. Try before you buy.

If possible, perform ad hoc projects for your prospective employer part time during the weekends and evenings. I did this twice in my career and it allowed me to assess the people, the culture and the veracity of the company's value proposition before I joined full time. Although this tactic is not practical for everyone, it is a highly effective way to minimize career mistakes.

2. Check the boss's references.

Your potential boss will check your references. You should do the same. Although it is clearly inappropriate to ask your new boss for a list of referrals, you can probably cobble together your own list on LinkedIn.

Speak with people who worked with or for your potential boss. Even if the reference did not work directly with your future manager, they may still have valuable insights that would be impossible for you to uncover during the interview process.

Have coffee or lunch with one or more staffers at the new company. Ostensibly, your purpose is to learn general information about the company, its culture, etc. However, use this opportunity to discover as much about your potential boss as possible, without appearing creepy of course.

3. Do some digging.

Ask your potential boss about former employees who were not compatible with her work style. Assess the manner in which your would-be manager describes the process by which she fired these employees. If she is sympathetic and takes ownership of the employees' failures, then she will likely be empathetic with you as well. If she becomes defensive or demeans the terminated employees, you should expect a similarly negative reaction should she find fault with your performance.

This conversation might also make it easier for you to identify and speak with some of the terminated employees. Although you have to apply the grain-of-salt rule--these may be bitter ex-employees--their feedback will no doubt help your overall decision process.

4. Look for patterns.

Institutional investors use pattern matching to minimize their mistakes. You should do the same, looking for patterns in your history. Consider your past incompetent supervisors. How did these horrible bosses mask their personality flaws during the recruitment process? Were there signs that should have alerted you to trouble ahead?

5. Make your own job.

The only way to ensure you will never encounter another bad boss is to call upon your inner entrepreneur and make a job, rather than take one. You won't have a formal boss at your start-up, but you'll be accountable to investors, partners, customers, and your employees. After dealing with all of those pressures, you may wish that your biggest problem was a difficult boss.

The silver lining

Although bad bosses suck, you can learn a great deal from them. In fact, my managerial skills were greatly enhanced by one particularly horrible boss: He reinforced what not to do when attempting to motivate and manage people.

Ultimately, as described more fully in Advice For Emerging Entrepreneurs (And Anyone Else With A Boss), if you have a problem with your boss, you're the one with the problem, not the boss. You can either attempt to resolve the issues or move on. Assuming he will accommodate you is an unrealistic, losing strategy.

Don't say I didn't warn you. If you find yourself in the clutches of yet another dreadful boss, force yourself to honestly answer the following simple question: "Why did I agree to work for this cretin when I could be working for an awesome boss?"

سقراط والفلتر الثلاثي

في أحد الأيام صادف الفيلسوف سقراط أحد معارفه الذي جرى له وقال له بتلهف "سقراط ، أتعلم ما سمعت عن أحد طلابك؟"

رد عليه سقراط : انتظر لحظة قبل أن تخبرني .. أود منك أن تجتاز امتحان صغير يدعى امتحان الفلتر الثلاثي"
رد عليه باستغراب: "الفلتر الثلاثي؟"

تابع سقراط : هذا صحيح قبل أن تخبرني عن طالبي لنأخذ لحظة لنفلتر ما كنت ستقوله أولاً.
الفلتر الأول هو الصدق ، هل أنت متأكد أن ما ستخبرني به صحيح؟

رد الرجل : لا، في الواقع لقد سمعت الخبر يتم تداوله بين الناس.
قال سقراط : حسنا , إذا أنت لست أكيد أن ما ستخبرني صحيح أو خطأ.

لنجرب الفلتر الثاني، فلتر الطيبة , هل ما ستخبرني به عن طالبي شيء طيب؟

رد الرجل: لا، على العكس تماماً!
تابع سقراط : حسنا إذا ستخبرني شيء سيء عن طالبي على الرغم من أنك غير متأكد من أنه صحيح؟

بدأ الرجل بالشعور بالإحراج .
تابع سقراط : ما زال بإمكانك أن تنجح بالامتحان ، فهناك فلتر ثالث , فلتر الفائدة, هل ما ستخبرني به عن طالبي سيفيدني؟

رد الرجل : في الواقع لا ، هو مجرد خبر متداول!
تابع سقراط : إذا , إذا كنت ستخبرني بشيء مشكوك فى صحته ولا بطيب ولا ذي فائدة أو قيمة لى ، فلماذا تخبرني به من الأصل؟

فسكت الرجل وشعر باحراج بليغ!


هل لنا أن نفكر بهذه الثلاثية قبل كل كلمة تخرج منا للآخرين؟
قال - صلى الله عليه وسلم - (من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليقل خيراً أو ليصمت).

بوابة التغيير 1 - شرنقة فراشة


على طريقٍ مغبرّ في الهند، كان رجل يجلس كل يوم يبيع شرنقات. على الجهة الأخرى من الطريق، كان يجلس صبي يراقبه. في يوم من الأيام سأل الرجل الصبي: هل تدري الجمال الكامن في هذه الشرنقات؟ سأعطيك واحدة لتشاهد جمالها بأم عينك، ولكن من الضروري أن لا تلمس الشرنقة حتى تخرج الفراشة منها.

سُرّ الصبي كثيرا بالهدية وركض نحو البيت ليرقب الفراشة. وضع الشرنقة على الأرض. لاحظ أمرا مثيرا. رأى الفراشة تضرب بجناحيها الضعيفين على الغلاف القاسي حولها. شعر بأن الفراشة ستموت قبل أن تقدر على كسر الغلاف المسجونة فيه. أشفق الصبي علي الفراشة وأراد – بكل حسن نيّة – أن يساعدها، فكسر الغلاف.

اندلقت على الفور مادة رطبة قبيحة بنّية اللون، سرعان ما توقفت عن الحركة والحياة. فحزن الصبي كثيرا.

عندما علم الرجل الذي أهداه الشرنقة بما حصل، قال للصبي: تحتاج الفراشة، من أجل أن تقوى أجنحتها – لتصبح قادرة على حمل ذاتها – أن تضرب بأجنحتها على الغلاف الذي يلف جسمها، إذ فقط عن طريق وضع هذا الجهد تصبح الأجنحة قوية، وتصبح الفراشة قادرة على الطيران... مساعدتك لها منعها من القيام بالجهد الضروري لنموها، وبالتالي سلبها قدرتها الطبيعية وفرصتها الوحيدة للبقاء.

تعكس هذه القصة الوضع في المجتمعات الحديثة، تعكس فقداننا لحكمة غالية جدا ألا وهي أهمية عدم القيام بأي عمل أو مساعدة يمكن أن تسلب الناس والمجتمعات مما لديهم من قدرات طبيعية ومقومات ذاتية، اعتقادا منا (سواء عن حسن نية أم سوء نية) بأن ما نفعله هو عمل خير. هذه الأعمال تندرج عادة تحت اسم تنمية أو خدمات أو مساعدات، والتي تبدو وكأنها تعكس نيات حسنة إلا أنها غالبا ما تؤدي إلى أن يصبح الناس والمجتمعات غير قادرين على العيش بدون مؤسسات.

لعل سلب الناس قدراتهم ومقوماتهم وطرق معيشتهم تحت ادعاء تطويرهم وتنميتهم وخدمتهم ومساعدتهم هو من أهم أسباب الخلل الذي نشاهده حاليا في المجتمعات حول العالم، وفي نفس الوقت، لعله أقل عمليات التخريب التي نعيها.

تشمل عملية السلب هذه مجالات عدة: سلب قدرة الناس البيولوجية على التعلم وقدرة الجسم على الشفاء، وقدرة الناس على إدارة شؤون الحياة اليومية والقيام ما يحتاجونه من ضروريات. كذلك، تشمل العملية سلب الأطفال قدرتهم على تكوين قوة داخلية عن طريق مساعدتهم في واجباتهم المدرسية. ولعل أسوأ أنواع السلب هو سلب الناس عناية بعضهم لبعض والمساعدة المتبادلة فيما بينهم، بدون واسطة مؤسسات ومهنيين، إذ أنه سلبٌ يؤدي عادة إلى تمزيق النسيج الاجتماعي الروحي الضروري لحيوية المجتمع وتماسكه وعافيته، وأيضا لعافية الناس النفسية، كما يؤدي إلى طمس روح التجاور والتحادث والضيافة والكرم، والتي ميزت مجتمعات ما قبل العصر الحديث الذي نشر الاعتقاد بأن الحياة مكونة من أفكار ومادة فقط!

المساعدة التي يشعر عن طريقها الطرف الذي يساعد أنه أفضل وأكبر شأنا من الطرف الذي يتلقى المساعدة هي مساعدة مناقضة لعافية الإنسان والمجتمع؛ هي مساعدة تسلب الناس كرامتهم. لذا، حتى تكون المساهمة متوافقة مع عافية الإنسان وكرامته، من الضروري أن تكون متبادلة ونابعة من الداخل.

أدى تمركز المساعدة والرعاية في مؤسسات وهيئات رسمية إلى تكديس السلطة والمال في أيدي قلة من الناس، مما جعل الحافز لما يعملونه هو مصالحهم الذاتية وليس عافية الناس الذين تدعي المؤسسات أنها تساعدهم. والوضع الفلسطيني – كالعادة – هو بمثابة مجهر يمكن أن نرى من خلاله ما يحدث في العالم الأوسع. فمثلا، الفترتان اللتان خبرتهما حيث كنا كفلسطينيين قادرين على القيام بما هو ضروري لحياتنا (وأتكلم هنا عن الضفة الغربية حيث كنت أعيش) هو عقد السبعينيات والانتفاضة الأولى. ما ميز الفترتين – رغم الأوضاع السيئة – هو وجود أمل لدى الناس، والذي نبع من الدعم المتبادل بين الناس، ومن علاقات جميلة فيما بينهم، ومن قيامهم بمهام الحياة دون مساعدات من خارج ما هو متوفر في المجتمع ولدى الناس، كما أنه نبع من الشعور بالمسؤولية للقيام بواجبات. ربما أسوأ ما نتج عن أوسلو على مستوى الناس هو تحويل الأمل إلى توقعات، والواجبات إلى مطالب، والقدرات إلى حاجات.

منذ عام 1949 كانت الكلمة السحرية التي سلبت الناس قدراتهم ومقوماتهم وكرامتهم وطرقهم في العيش هي كلمة تنمية. لم يكن هناك، مثلا، قبل عام 1949 أي برنامج في أي جامعة في أي بلد يحمل اسم تنمية. في المقابل، من الصعب جدا أن نجد جامعة واحدة في الوقت الحاضر لا يوجد فيها عدة برامج ودوائر لا يحمل فيروس التنمية! ما حدث عام 1949 هو إعلان ترومان – رئيس الولايات المتحدة حينئذ – أن الشعوب خارج الولايات المتحدة وغرب أوروبا غير نامين بما فيه الكفاية وأن على أوروبا والولايات المتحدة مساعدتهم في تنمية أنفسهم ومجتمعاتهم! لقد كانت تلك المساعدات بمثابة حصان طروادة الذي هزمنا من الداخل، وأعاد سيطرة الدول الغربية على مختلف نواحي حياتنا. ونحن – ببراءة لا مبرر لها – احتضنا تلك التنمية وما زلنا نحتضنها.

ذكرت في الخاطرة السابقة غياب الفلاحين من الخطاب التربوي والفكري والسياسي الفلسطيني، باستثناء الكلام عن مساعدتهم وتطويرهم وتنميتهم وتمدينهم – والتي تعني عمليا، كالعادة، سلبهم ما لديهم من قدرات ومقومات وإغراقهم في عالم الاستهلاك. بدأت عملية السلب هذه من خلال المدارس الأجنبية التي بدأت تظهر في فلسطين مع نهاية القرن التاسع عشر، وانتقلت هذه العدوى فيما بعد إلى أهل المدن الذين أخذوا على عاتقهم مساعدة وتطوير الريف، والذي أدى إلى سلخ الناس عن الأرض وتحويلها إلى سلعة!

كأي فكرة لا تتناغم مع عافية الإنسان والمجتمع والطبيعة، فإن المساعدة من فوق تؤدي في النهاية إلى تخريب مفضوح يفقد غطاءه المزيّف. ولعل ما يحدث في العراق هو مثال صارخ على هذا، إذ تمّ حتى الآن قتل ما يقارب من مليون ونصف عراقي وجرح ملايين آخرين وتشريد أكثر من 4 ملايين، وهدم قرى وأحياء بكاملها... تحت شعار مساعدة العراقيين في بناء ديمقراطية! معظم السياسيين والصحفيين والخبراء يذكرون هذا يوميا دون أن يرمش لهم جفن ودون أن يهتزّ وجدان السامعين مما يدلّ على عمق التخدير الذي تبثه المؤسسات الرسمية.

المساعدة التي فيها عافية الناس كانت وما زالت تتمثل في مساعدات متبادلة لا دخل للمؤسسات فيها، كما أنها تتمثل في التفاعل والتعامل بين الناس وفي أمور ذكرتها بأعلاه مثل الضيافة والكرم والتحادث، ففي مثل هذه الأوضاع يتمّ نمو حكمة وجدل نسيج اجتماعي روحي، واللذين بدونهما – أي بدون النسيج والحكمة – لا يمكن أن تستوي الحياة.
