Closed mouths don't get fed. but open one's can lose you food.. in life you have to be a master at diplomacy and it takes being a little bit passive and aggressive to accomplish diplomacy at it's highest level.. There are 2 ways you can be passive or aggressive and that's by your actions and your words. most people get into trouble with their words, by either saying too much or not saying enough. but which way is the better route to go? i live by the motto when in doubt just shut the hell up. everything that's on your mind doesn't have to be known, and it doesn't make you a 'punk' for not stating it. you must calculate your verbally aggressive moments or you'll become the boy that 'cried wolf' and you'll fall on deaf ears.. but don't hold your tounge for too long or you'll
become the 'mute' that no one is used to hearing from and your opinion will be cleared out by previous silence.. As far as actions are concerned this is more difficult to calculate because they speak louder than words.. it's one thing to verbally commit to something.. and i'm still searching for the definition for the phrase 'verbally commit'. what in the hell does that mean anyway? if you can't see anything tangable then you don't have a deal. but that's just me, i digress.. actions mean so much more. there are so many people who are aggressive with their mouths, but punks when it comes to actions.. I've noticed for a while now that companies say they want you to be open with your opinions and they want to hear your voice. but they don't. they want you to come to work quietly and do your job even quieter. being passive at certain times can keep your job alot longer.. sad, but true.. So what's it better to be passive or aggressive? I'm going with the aggressive approach personally and i'll accept whatever concequences come with it. i begin to twitch when bullshit is going on and i haven't said anything about it.. but i do understand diplomacy along with my aggressive personality.. and as long as you understand what type of person you are, the concept of diplomacy will always be your equalizer... what do you think?
