We all have our likes and dislikes. They are not always the same. Foods, vacations, seasons, rain, novels. We all have opinions about everything as well. Who doesn't offer their opinion when discussing a restaurant. The typical question is, "have you ever been to...and what was it like?" BUT - there are times when we may ask someone's opinion but don't really want it. If you don't then don't ask.
Today's quote, "Unless it is wanted or asked - you keep your opinion and I'll keep mine." What do you think about that? Sometimes we are so eager to give our opinions and share what is on our minds we don't realize that it's not really wanted. Well if that happens then you have to be clear. Do you want an opinion or not. That's one thing everyone is ALWAYS willing to share! An opinion. It is the one thing we all ask of others but don't necessarily want to hear.
If you do hear an opinion that does not please you, think first if you asked someone for it. It is a sure fire way to either get into an argument or seethe in anger. Have you been there? I'm sure you have. We all have. If you are doing something that you think is wonderful and feel like sharing that information then do so. Just don't end your story or idea with "what do you think?" because if you do, you will find out.
We all have opinions but they aren't all necessarily for sharing. Know when to share and know not to AND know when to ask and when not to also. Don't blame someone for telling you what you don't want to hear if you are the one that asked! AND if you ARE asked an opinion it is OK to say, "do you really want to know!" That is the best way to keep friends and keep peace! Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone!~Love, Amy
