If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
A simple life-lesson taught to most of us as very young children. However, I've noticed there are many adults that do not adhere to it.
I know we all have the occasional bad day when things do not go our way. This saying reminds me more of gossip and mean-spirited, malicious talk. Some may see it as "innocently" passing on information. FYI: just because it is true doesn't mean you have to repeat it.
Next time you are tempted to pass on some juicy tidbit of gossip or news, STOP. Think how you would feel if YOU were on the OTHER end.
Hmmm, that brings me to another very important lesson: The Golden Rule (treat others - EVEN IF THEY AREN'T IN THE SAME ROOM WITH YOU - like you want to be treated).
Go - spread the word...
