GOSSIP
REMEMBER PEOPLE WHO GOSSIP WITH YOU ALSO GOSSIP ABOUT IN YOUR ABSENCE.
GOSSIPING AND LYING ARE CLOSELY RELATED. A GOSSIP LISTENS IN HASTE AND REPEATS AT LEISURE. A GOSSIP NEVER MINDS HIS OWN BUSINESS BECAUSE HE HAS NEITHER A MIND NOR A BUSINESS. A GOSSIP IS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT HE OVERHEARS THAN WHAT HE HEARS. GOSSIP IS THE ART OF SAYING NOTHING IS A WAY LEAVES NOTHING UNSAID.
SOMEONE SAID IT WELL, SMALL PEOPLE TALK ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE MEDICORE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THINGS, GREAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.
GOSSIP CAN LEAD TO SLANDER AND DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER. PEOPLE WHO LISTEN TO GOSSIP ARE AS GUILTY AS THOSE WHO DO THE GOSSIPING.
A GOSSIP USUALLY GETS CAUGHT IN HIS OWN MOUTH TRASP. GOSSIP HAS NO RESPECT FOR JUSTICE. IT BREAKS HEARTS, IT RUINS LIVES, IT IS CUNNING AND MALICIOUS. IT VICTIMIZES THE HELPLESS. GOSSIP IS HARD TO TRACK DOWN BECAUSE IT HAS NO FACE OR NAME. IT TARNISHES REPUTATIONS, TOPPLES GOVERNMENTS, WRECKS MARRIAGES, RUINS CARRES, MAKES THE INNOCENT CRY, CAUSE HEARTACHES AND SLEEPNESS NIGHTS. THE NEXT TIME YOU INDULGE IN GOSSIP, ASK YOURSELF.
❤ IS IT THE TRUTH ?
❤ IS IT KIND AND GENTLE ?
❤ IS IT NECESSARY ?
❤ AM I SPREADING RUMORS ?
❤ DO I SAY POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT OTHERS ?
❤ DO I ENJOY AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO SPREAD RUMORS ?
❤ DOES MY CONVERSATION BEGIN WITH DON'T TELL ANYONE ?
❤ CAN I MAINTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY ?
REFRAIN FROM INDULGING IN GOSSIP. REMEMBER, SMALL TALK COMES OUT OF BIG MOUTHS.
TURN YOUR PROMISES INTO COMMITMENTS
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PROMISE AND A COMMITMENT ? A PROMISE IS A STATEMENT OF INTENT. A COMMITMENT IS A PROMISE THAT IS GOING TO BE KEPT NO MATTER. WHAT IN THE MATTER WHAT, I EXCUDE ILLEGAL AND IMMORTAL THINGS. COMMITMENT COMES OUT OF CHARACTER AND LEADS TO CONVICTION.
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT KIND OF A WORLD IT WOULD BE IF PEOPLE DIDN'T KEEP THEIR COMMITMENTS ? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN
❤ SPOUSES ?
❤ EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES ?
❤ PARENTS AND CHILDREN ?
❤ STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ?
❤ BUYERS AND SELLERS ?
UNCOMMITTED RELATIONSHIPS ARE SHALLOW AND HOLLOW. THEY ARE A MATTER OF CONVENIENCE AND ARE TEMPORARY. NOTHING LASTING HAS EVER BEEN CREATED WITHOUT COMMITMENT.
COMMITMENT SAYS, I AM PREDICTABLE IN THE UNPREDICTABLE FUTURE.
MANY PEOPLE CONFUSE COMMITMENT WITH CONFINEMENT. THAT REALLY IS NOT TRUE. COMMITMENT DOES NOT TAKE AWAY FREEDOM. IT ACTUALLY GIVES MORE FREEDOM BECAUSE IT PROVIDES A SENSE OF SECURITY.
THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMITMENT WE EVER MAKE IS TO YOUR VALUES. THAT IS WHY IT IS IMPERATIVE TO HAVE GOOD VALUE SYSTEM. FOR EXAMPLE, IF COMMITTED MYSELF TO SUPPORT MY COMMITMENT ? NOR AT ALL.
COMMITMENT LEADS TO ENDURING RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH THICK AND THIN. IT SHOWS IN A PERSON'S PERSONALITY AND RELATIONSHIPS.
