My theme for the 2017 AtoZ Challenge is "Daily Thoughts".
So here is my thought for the letter R
This is one of my favourite quotes. I don't always succeed but I do try to remember to respond intelligently when I am at the receiving end of unintelligent treatment.
Sometimes the most intelligent response is not to respond at all and let the person vent.
Have you been in situations where you've had to respond intelligently? Share your experiences in the comments so we can all learn.
If you do leave a comment, please make it easy for me and add a link to your blog / post. Thanks.

Each day I will post a thought that comes to mind. The first word of the thought will correspond with the letter of the day.

That is one of the 10 commandments of running a retail store. You get all kinds of customers. Most are very polite and decent, but some are just itching to start a fight! :D

Such great advice. Sometimes, responding kindly to unkind people really takes them off guard.

Liked this one. But it is a difficult one to follow in many situations. Like when someone is driving badly and honking continuously right behind your car or people who don't know anything talk about topics that do not concern them!

My job sees me having to write policies and procedures for IT. 95% of the people I work with are non-native English speakers and they always question my edits and corrections. Google Translate wrote it differently they tell me. Sigh. I intelligently just walk away and carry on. Lol
ReplyDeleteHow do you respond intelligently to something that is unintelligent? I expect one just grins and bears it, and convinces oneself, This too shall pass.
ReplyDeleteHard bit of advice to follow.
Now that's a perfectly sane advice which I fail to apply most of the times. It's the hurry to react rather than respond that's the culprit!
