Lou Ludwig Success Tips: Listen Carefully to What a Person Says About Others

Listen Carefully to What a Person Says About Others

“You can tell more about a person by what he says

about others than you can by what others say about him”

 Leo Aikma,          

 

 

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

 

Listen carefully to what a person says about others

 

A person’s true character is revealed in how they speak about others.

 

A person of character reminds in control of their emotions and their words. They understand how to use their words for maximum effectiveness and will avoid criticizing and commending people in a public forum.

 

They will praise a person in public and tactfully handle the challenging situations in private  

 

The person that continually complaints and speaks poorly of people in a public forum or blames others for their conditions are living their life through the prism of a negative paradigm. 

 

This type of behavior reveals a character flaw that unless it’s reversed will create a great deal of personal issues in their personal and business relationships.

 

Listen carefully to what a person says about others because how they speak about ours is a widow into their character and their attitude.

Good post, Lou.

    A person who complains about other people, will also complain about you.

I guess I better watch what I say or mean on Facebook, at least politically anyway. Way to many koolaid drinkers out there...

Hi Lou - I agree!  And what really disturbs me is when people say bad things about their spouses in public or criticize their own office and co-workers to strangers.  That makes me very uncomfortable, and I don't really feel they are trustworthy.

ouch. I think I will put on my hard hat and hide in the corner for awhile. I think you may have been talking to me.

Hi, Lou... funny that I am typing this during a commercial break in the 'The Bacherlor', which I am watching with my youngest daughter.  This season's villian, Courtney, should read this blog!  you've nailed it, Lou!

Those who speak poorly about others in public soon find others speaking of them in the same way. Enjoy your day!

Very true. The tongue...a weapon that can be used for good and bad. Tearing others down in public is never a smart startegy!
