Are you expressing your views or the opinions of people who shy away from speaking their minds? Back up before you go any further out on that limb.

You can tell that you and a certain someone are heading for a showdown. Line up your talking points now so that when the argument starts reason will prevail.

Make sure that you have your facts straight before disputing a claim. You may be right, but not for the reasons you think.

Be careful when correcting others today. Frustration in one area of your life could lead you to become overly exacting in another.

Accent the positive – even if you don’t really believe it. It makes for a better selling point than airing grievances ever will.

People’s perceptions change when yours do. Act like what you’ve got to say is worth hearing and they’ll be sure to listen.
