West_end Neutral Newbie April 14, 2013 Share April 14, 2013 Less can be more... and being quiet can say more than any amount of words. Knowing when to stop, with words as well as actions, is often the best way to handle complexity. "Criticisms can be appropriate and important, especially in a business setting when someone isn't doing his job. The problem is, when it comes to criticizing, many do not know when to stop. We keep cutting loose after the point has been made. Sometimes, we cannot stop even when we know doing so will only create ill wil, with no positive change whatsoever. This tends to make life much more complicated than it has to be". ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic April 14, 2013 Share April 14, 2013 It's true. Sometimes when ppl make an obvious mistake I would give the cold shoulder, silent and boh chap treatment when they are expecting me to scold them. The "silence" can be quite deafening.
