@KeithDJohnson @Sheril this was part of a job related course. So true and works perfect for me beside being one of the hardest things to practise!

@JohaFreu @KeithDJohnson @Sheril if something fires me up, I will often wait even until the next day, re-read, and then think about responding. It's saved me a fair few misunderstandings

very nice!

Tons of overlap with the Buddhist idea of Right Speech. The idea is that before speaking, consider five things:
1) is it true/factual
2) is it helpful/beneficial
3) is it kind (with good will, intending the best for all involved)
4) is it endearing (gentle, considerate?)
5) is it timely

Number four and five are definitely often forgotten! Things that are true and kind may not be helpful at the wrong time, or with the wrong tone.

@KeithDJohnson @Sheril If only you could pause for 90 seconds in conversations!

@KeithDJohnson @Sheril Do you know who created this image about reaction and response? It’s sort of signed in the upper right, I think, but if I use it, I’d like to be able to credit the source explicitly!

Keith D Johnson for Kamala

@AndrewShields It was in my FB feed without attribution. An image search would likely reveal its origin.

@KeithDJohnson Thanks for letting me know! An image search found lots of hits of the image (which is apparently very popular), but I couldn’t find one with an attribution. It’s too bad when the source of such popular work disappears.
