Gossip favourably

If you were to tell me about the people you came into contact with today, what would you tell me? Would you tell me about the good things or would you pick up on all the bad things you noticed and needed to repeat to someone?

Both the positive and the negative (or should that be nagative) are forms of gossip, so do me a favour from now on - gossip favourably, or in other words - If you have to choose between saying something positive, or saying something negative about someone else - always choose the first option.

Words are incredibly powerful, they have the power to build a person up or destroy them - and you hold that power.

At College on Tuesday one of my daughters fellow classmates decided she wanted to say something to every member of class - and every comment she made was positive. She had something nice to say about everyone. My daughter who had had a particularly tough shift after being partnered with the slowest member of class was commended on her patience and her smile.

What was the first thing she told me about?

You got it, the fact that this girl had taken the time to note the positives in everyone and to pass on those comments at the end of a long day was infectious. Instead of going on and on about the bad things that usually go on in college, this one young girl had changed the entire group, and my daughter passed on every positive comment - it was wonderful. So do yourself and everyone you come into contact with a big favour and gossip favourably from now on. And you know the best bit - you can do this in front of the person and not behind their backs.
