What’s the topic, George? Peeves, what’s your opinion? How about you, Madama? And of course, you, too, author Sandra!

 

GW Rule #40

Strive not with your superiors in argument, but always submit your judgment to others with modesty.

PEEVES

Try not to argue with your elders or correct them.  It’s insulting and there’s a better way to share your opinion.  You’ll probably only offend them.  Ooops!

MADAMA

If you instead ask if you can share an opinion and WAIT for them to respond, they will hear it much better.

SANDRA

Nobody likes a know it all and it truly hurts you to assume you know more than someone who has more experience.  You might also have a good point to share but how you do it will make a big difference.  If you also show an attitude, it won’t go well for you.
