Fact is different generation we were raised in, used to be all a man had was hard work and his reputation(honor & work ethic), now doesn't matter-less hardships

I just finished a 3.6 million dollar project on a handshake. Granted I have been doing business with this company for a long time, but it is still a great feeling to not sign a contract until the project is 90% or better done, lol

Honesty??? Most people dont want honesty...they want 'nice'.

Blech!!!sick

I come with a warning label, if you dont want my truth dont ask... because I will tell you, exactly my honest truth.

And I expect the same from everyone else.bigsmile

Oh I dunno... I shoot from the hip, and will take anyone to task who tries to be less than their truth.

Because I expect the same from myself.

you can be honest and still be nice. maybe not always, but there are tactful ways to present your truth if the situation calls for it. just laying **** out there can be rude and most people won't handle that well since we're all so use to lies.

communication can take thought sometimes, the easiest route is often not the best

I have neither the time, nor the desire to take 15 minutes what 10 seconds will accomplish. No offense, but people shouldn't be stupid and ask stupid questions. tact is just another form of lying

I see where you are coming from, however.... my being 'nice', may be your rude....who knows?

But the one thing for sure is ...it's my truth, however it's gift wrapped.:wink:

see, i don't agree. and really, it shouldn't increase the time that much.



..and i wrote out more, but it's 3am and i'm tired. up at 7.

thing is, tact isn't a lie. tact isn't a white lie. tact is truth, but thoughtfully illistrated for the listener to handle it better. you can't just tell someone they smell like ass and have **** breath, you might have to soften that one down if you care about keeping that relationship

i agree with your point, i agree fully. i often speak without thinking about how my words might be taken, i'm just saying what i'm thinking. sometimes i lack a filter.

but if you know someone and know how they deal with things, how your relationship works. there's no reason why you shouldn't present your truths in the most understandable manner for them.
