A lot of people around us are feeling stressed up and depressed nowadays. Having such negative thinking is bad but sometimes, you cannot blame people especially when the world itself is in such a depressing state – the possibility of US suffering the next ‘great depression’ is indeed a very depressing news.

That’s why everyone needs to learn how to control their frustration and anger especially when dealing with other people. I know a lot of people are frustrated and angry, but that doesn’t permit them to ruin other people’s lives as well. Furthermore, it will not even help those angry/frustrated people to accomplish anything….instead, it will make only other people even more pissed off.

People need to understand that everyone has ego and self-esteem. We need to respect everyone and choose our words wisely. Calling someone “cheap” or “useless” or “inefficient” will not help you solve ANYTHING. It’ll only make that “someone” starts to develop a hatred towards you. And it will definitely make the relationship sour.

And if things get worse, the victims might actually do something extreme out of desperation. When you crush people’s self-esteem, you’re venturing into dangerous territories and I don’t think you want to do that too often.

Imagine this, you’re the Managing Director of a large construction company. You’ve received news that a group of foreign workers were not performing well and this in turn delayed the project. So you rushed to the site and confronted these workers. They explained to you their concerns of being underpaid and overworked but you wouldn’t care. You started threatening them that they might lose their jobs if they remained the same….and maybe to add some fire into them, you started calling them useless. THAT will certainly make them become desperate and VERY ANGRY.

So, learn to respect each other. Be moderate with your choice of words. CEO so what? MD so what? Learn to praise instead of condemn. If you really need to let the person knows he/she is wrong, then don’t use harsh words that much and STOP THREATENING.

Let’s work together to create a less frustrated and less hostile world.

p/s…. my blog has been attacked by a lot of spammers lately. =_= i’ve been busy deleting the spams every hour or so. My AKISMET spam detector doesn’t seem to work very well nowadays.

How many of us have said things that we shouldn’t have said? Things that have hurt the people close to us…things that once said, cannot be taken back. I believe, all of us have done that before…and hurt the relationship we have with people who are dear to us.

That’s why I always encourage people to think properly before they say something. A simple word might seem harmless to you, but if you use it in a wrong context or on a wrong person……it could have a very deep and negative impact on the relationship. So, know the person well first before you talk.

Remember, 1 single word can ruin a relationship which took thousands of words to build.

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone – and belated Valentine’s Day to those from the east side of the world.
