"You say that about me, but what about what YOU did? What about what YOU said? What about what YOU'RE like?"
Have you ever heard words like this from someone? Actually, have you ever said or even thought words like this? If so, beware. It could be a sign of pride.
I don't think anyone enjoys having their faults pointed out to them and the natural tendency, the emotional way of reacting, is to go on the defensive and immediately try to find an excuse, a reason to prove that the person is wrong.
If a person genuinely wants to help you, it takes a lot for them to approach you and tell you that you're wrong, so when it does happen, you should cherish that friend. Of course, I'm not talking about those types of people that try to find fault with anything just to put you down, I'm talking about people that genuinely want to help you.
The thing is, if people see that you are a difficult person to approach, that you just won't accept correction, they just won't bother and you will be losing so many opportunities to learn and grow.
Hi Mrs. Chris! This comment has nothing to do with the post, which was great, but more to do with uckg.org. I really miss FIA! I loved reading the online version. I live in California and now I really miss it. Is it possible that you know the website developers and ask if they can put it back up? Thanks for any help you can provide and please excuse any inconvenience I have caused.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol. I have forwarded your request to the Website Manager to see what he can do. xxx
