The map is not the territory. (this means that you have your own reality in your mind and not the real reality, for example you may think that people hate you while they don't,each person has got his own belief system)
People always make the best choices available to them, given their unique model of the world and of the situation. (that means, don't blame yourself or feel guilty, you couldn't have done better given the resources you have)
People have all the resources necessary to make any desired change. ( you need nothing else to succeed , don't blame external conditions)
Resistance you get is a comment about your inflexibility as communicator; if what you are doing is not working, do something different.
In interactions among people, the person with most flexibility and variation of behavior can control the outcome of the interaction.
