BETTER THESE WAYS!
Be not quiet when you ought to be talking.
- Do not distract people from others
by jumping into conversations. - Don't be too hasty in jumping
into a conversation to give advice. - If you must interrupt a conversation
between two or more people, say "excuse me". - Don't be excessive in giving out commands.
- Don't be too stubborn in insisting people accept
your opinion and do not present them in such a way. - Don't treat people's opinion
as though they do not matter. - Don't laugh at the errors of people.
- Do not gaze on the marks or blemishes
or impairments (disabilities) of others
and do not ask about how they came. - What you may speak in secret to your friend
may not be appropriate to say before others.
So be careful. - Think before you speak. Do not be hasty
to pronounce your words,
pronounce orderly & distinctly. - When another speaks be attentive yourself
and do not disturb the audience. - When people hesitate with their words
do not help them finish their sentences. - Do not prompt against their desire.
- Do not interrupt people till they end their speech.
