Say Good After “But”
Change starts with action. Subscribe to my RSS feed, and thanks for visiting.
I was watching this reality show on tv and noticed a sentence uttered by a particular contestant:
“I have strengths but I also have many weaknesses.”
This got me thinking: Is the way we choose to say our weaknesses a reflection of our view on the classic “Is the glass half full or empty” question? It would have been better for the contestant to say it the other way:
“I have some weaknesses but I have strengths too.”
Or take it another level:
“I have weaknesses but I don’t let them lead me. My strengths are my compass”
Whether it be in a job interview or self-talk, try your best to end off positively always. It’s more pleasing to your audience’s ears, and more calming to your heart.
