I was inspired to write something to provide some light reading for the weekend after reading some stuff on Facebook this morning.
It is not just what you say but how you say it.
It is not just what you ask but how you ask it.
The "what" determines the content.
The "how" determines the response.
When we have something to say or to ask, think of the manner in which it could be delivered. Think of the "how".
Of course, the "how" is probably tied to our motivations.
Do we wish for a positive outcome or do we wish for a negative outcome?
If there is a mismatch between our motivations and the outcomes, then, there is something wrong with the "how".
So, how do we deal with this? What?
What we want to do is to be more mindful of the "how".
We should always pay more attention to the ladies.
Of course, I am just talking (and later reading) to myself as usual.
