Guest guest Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Think twice, speak once The idea of choosing your words carefully sounds easy enough, but how many times do you end up with your foot in your mouth? Everyone can probably recall a situation where someone offended them by saying something rude or out of line. These comments are not only embarrassing, but they can also damage relationships. Even the way you talk to yourself can be hurtful. Instead of saying " I can't, " replace it with " I wish. " Swap " I'm a failure " with " I didn't succeed this time. " If you say the wrong thing in front of others, chances are that people will remember it. Wouldn't you prefer to be remembered for something more positive? Once you have said something out loud it cannot be taken back, and rarely can it be undone even with a tremendous amount of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
