 学会沉默-大家在八卦时

When people are gossiping

People love gossiping and many of us can't help it.

It's refreshing¹. It makes life seem a bit better.

 

But the next time you hear gossiping, especially about your friends, try holding your tongue.

 

Listen to what the gossiper² is saying, it may reveal a lot about both parties.

 

Instead of being like “yeahh, she is a b*$$#,” trysaying "well, she's trying her hardest" and see what the response is.

 

Deny yourself that tiny pleasure from putting someone else down.
