A Word about Words

“Isn't it kind of silly to think that tearing someone else down builds you up?”

Sean Covey

My brothers are both very wise men

And I have often had the benefit of their wisdom

Sometimes unsolicited

But there is one thing they told me that I have always remembered

and found to be invariably true:

If someone is talking to you about someone else

They are probably talking about you

when you are not there

It is pretty scary to watch:

A coworker who will slam a colleague behind their back

and then smile prettily to their face

 Yikes!

Let's make a deal to 

                                                           by giving it nowhere to go
                                                                       

                                            Remember the words of Eleanor Roosevelt:

“Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.”

and that's poetiquejustis

Wounds made by a friend are intended to help, 

but an enemy's kisses are too much to bear. 

Proverbs 27:6
