Situations to Avoid

• Avoid making people look small – No one likes being humiliated-even the most humble person. The natural reaction is resentment, anger, dislike, perhaps hatred.

• Avoid infringing the rights of others – People have rights which they guard jealously. If, tactlessly, you infringe those rights without consulting them, there is bound to be trouble.

• Avoid boosting yourself – Blowing your own trumpet does not win you respect or popularity. If you must mention your own accomplishment, do so modestly and in lighter vein. Not to do so is tactless because it tends to make others small by implication.

• Don’t teach other people their jobs – Even a road-sweeper is professionally proud. He is convinced he knows his job ‘inside out’, and that no one can teach him anything about it. He will resent anyone trying.
