It is one of the NLP Presuppositions, most influential and most controversial too. It gives us scope to find out the positive intention of the others behaviour and help us to understand them. The philosophy or logic behind this presupposition is that everyone is always doing what they believe right, or the only choice available to them given the circumstances as they see it. It is easier and more productive to respond to the intention rather than the expression of a problematic behavior.
Our behaviour is always trying to achieve something valuable for us. A person is not their behaviour. NLP separates the intention or purpose behind an action from the action itself. What appears as negative behaviour is not only so because we do not see the purpose.
This principle helps us to perceive the given situation from the point of view of the person whose behavior it is. People make the best choices available to them given the possibilities and capabilities that they perceive to be accessible within their model of the world.
Any behavior no matter how evil, crazy or bizarre it seems is the best choice available to that person at that point in time. Even murderers, rapists, and other bad people? Yes, they are right in their own unique model of the world that was the behaviour to get what they want, Ofcourse not to the total world.
This does not mean that the behaviour is the best possible choice (from an objective point of view). Nor does it mean that the behaviour will have positive benefits for anyone else.
A classic example of what we might call the inverted positive intention is the behaviour of the bullying manager who gains re-assurance from hitting on the people under him/her.
The solution to this kind of inappropriate behaviour is to find a way of satisfying the intention by more acceptable means. For example, giving the manager re-assurance in such a way that he no longer needs to bully his employees to get it.
So whenever you find someone’s behaviour is problematic, consider the positive intention(s) behind the behavior(s) associated with the issue or situation.
What could be the positive intentions (protection, attention, establishing boundaries, etc.) behind the behaviors of the other person and/or your reactions?

This is my INDIA
* Indians are young, 71% or 770 million people are below 35 years of age.
* 94% drop out rate of children between kindergarten and 10+2. 6% are the ones that cross the 10+2 stage (Educational "Line of Control").
* 72% of all graduates from the 15,000 colleges are Arts graduates who are not so employable.
* I.T. & Software is only 1.5% of the world's GDP. India's present share is about 3%.
* Of all new employment generated, 1% are Government jobs, 2% are in the ‘organized sector’ and the balance 97% in the ‘unorganized sector’
* Out of our 430 million workforce, 94 % work in the ‘unorganized sector’ and about 6 % in the ‘organized sector’.
* 600 million people are illiterate, based on the international definition of the 3R's (reading, writing and arithmetic, education up to primary level).
* 300 million live below the Government of India’s definition of Poverty Line of Rs.10 per day! As human beings don’t we need more?
* 700 million people below the poverty line definition of the World Bank's new definition of @ US$ 2 per day per person, or US $ 730 per year.
* India has only 1.72% of the World GDP and has 17% of the world population. Our share of world markets or foreign trade is 0.8%, down from 33% 1000 years ago, down from 27% when the British landed in India and down from 3% in 1947.
* Only 5% of Indians understand English, While English is a language used in countries which account for about 40% of the world GDP
* India is probably at the bottom of the heap, as far as the human development iindex is concerned such as infant mortality, child care, malnutrition, women's health, sicknesses, disease, health, clean water, etc.
* Rs 45,000 crores per year is repatriated out of India, for nearly 3,00,000 Indian students studying abroad. These funds are enough to build 20 IIT’s or 50 IIM’s per year! Rs 3,000 cr is the yearly budget of the University Grants Commission, UGC, in New Delhi.
3. Rs 3,000 crores per year is spent by nearly 6,00,000 students trying to arrange and learn for the entrance examinations into the 7 IIT's and the first 20 top IIM's and Management Institutes. Selection rate is hardly 1.2% against nearly 10% in Ivy league colleges such as MIT, Harvard, Cambridge & Stanford.
* Rs 50,000 crores is spent by Indians, every year, for import of 8,00,000 kgs. of Gold . So there is enough money to be spent by Indians for things they want.
* The present system puts in too much emphasis for the development of IQ [only 5% of the brain is used] and not enough into SQ and EQ.
* Education & Training is a life-long process and not meant to stop at an age of 20 or 22! In the progressive countries of the world, nearly 1 month per year is reserved for training/re-training and re-education, right up to an age of 55 or 60. The advantages of Training have still not been understood by the people of India.

My Vision
Vision: MEDHO BHARAT.
YES! India is the GENIUS of the world. India contributed many things to this world. Some of the Indian Mind’s Contributions are here:
• India never invaded any country in her last 10,000years of history.
• India invented the present number system.
• Zero was invented by Aryabhatta.
• The world’s first university was established in Takshila in 700 B.C.
• Sanskrit is the mother of all the European languages.
• Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to humans.
• Charaka, the father of medicine consolidated Ayurveda 2,500 years ago.
• India was the richest country in earth until the time of British invasion in the early 17th century.
• Bhaskaracharya calculated the time taken by the earth to the sun hundreds of years before the astronomer Smart.
• Algebra, trigonometry and calculus came from India.
• Quadratic equations were by Sridharacharya in the 11th century.
• According to the gemological Institute of America, up until 1896, India was the only source for diamonds to the world.
• The pioneer of wireless communication was prof. Jagadish Bose and not Marconi.
• Chess was invented in India.
• Sushruta is the father of surgery 2,600 ago he conducted complicated surgeries.
• The place value system, the decimal system was developed in India in 100 B.C.
• The value of ‘Pi’ was first calculated by Budhayana.
India got independence with Mahatma’s Nonviolence Movement.
That’s why GREAT GENIUS Einstein told that “We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.”
WHERE ARE WE NOW?
We are Second Position in Man Power. Then what about the MINDPOWER? Where we are? How many Noble Laureates from India? What happened to our Intelligence n Wisdom?
We are gearing up now? But we have to accelerate it. We have to produce more Genius from our country. Somebody should take that responsibility. Who?
YOU & ME
Yes, as a team we can create MEDHOBHARAT.
YES! WE CAN!!
Join your hands to fulfill this mission. Extend your cooperation for this great cause.
Join in our communities and forward the links to all your friends. So that we can grow n lead INDIA to new heights.
