admitting your weaknesses to your enemy

some say, a way to get out of trouble is to admit our wrongs...which is true...again others say admitting our weaknesses to our enemy makes them have a upper hand over us...do we want that? Enemy does not necessarily mean some one you do not like or hate but can also mean a rival either in work , school or in general society...weakness can be defined in fear of something or someone ...fear to achieve..fear to communicate..if we admit these to rivals in a group or to an individual ..we set ourselves far behind from reaching our targets and goals..because we admit it ...we give an upper hand or a head start for that person to get past us in whatever we doing ..and will take maximum advantage over us....A way of avoiding this is never admit a weakness...be bold n decision making....have maximum faith in your abilities...and use them to maximum...

Action speak louder than words.......

woooooowwww..i was like does this really apply in our everyday life??? well, yes it does. You see word of mouth though sweet and reassuring is nothing more than just anyone will want to hear. An example is when you have a little argument either with a friend , family member or lover, if you were wrong ,the other party will be expecting only one thing, an apology...a sorry...in other words, and if you do not even mean , you just say as long as i say sorry we are at peace, but look at it different using action ,taking her some flowers, preparing a meal , taking them out for a movie, or even just taking a walk with them, spending time with them, appreciating them, thereby apologising will make it easier, because of using action....action is a powerful communcation tool which never be ignored but used frequently..Roy Chikumbi
