What to say

Posted on August 17, 2012 by

If it is inaccurate, untrue, unbeneficial, and disagreeable to others, don’t say it.

If it is accurate and true, but unbeneficial and disagreeable to others, don’t say it.

If it is inaccurate, untrue, unbeneficial, but agreeable to others, don’t say it.

If it is accurate, true, unbeneficial, but agreeable to others, don’t say it.

 

If it is accurate, true, and beneficial, but disagreeable to others, don’t say it until you are able to mitigate the potential distress.

If it is accurate, true, beneficial, and agreeable to others, wait for the proper time, place, and circumstance to say it.
