Experiences – Life – Inspiration 🇨🇭🇯🇵

Yes that’s right

I know a little French wisdom

I am not sure whether this proverb actually is from France

But I googled it quickly and it turns out it is from France

No surprise really because French is the language of diplomacy

so they say

I learned this French proverb back in the Netherlands, many many years back when I dealt with a lot of office politics…..you know the usual BS

I remember it well because it taught me an invaluable lesson that most conflicts in life are caused by miscommunication

We can bombard each other with all the facts to convince each other to do something

But eventually we humans listen only when we are asked nicely

The most successful people in our societies have high interpersonal communication skills and that makes them often good leaders and very successful in society

I found they are not particularly smart, but they know how to say things to influence and convince people to do things

Anyway I think you get the point, it’s how you say things and not what you say

Something to keep in mind at all times
