The Pointing Finger : Avoid This Habit


The Pointing Finger : Avoid This Habit We have all been accused wrongly some time in our lives. How do we handle it? By The Pointing Finger. ( or ) Not with anger, hurt and tears, but in a cool, collected way.

1. If you are unfairly accused, let others know of the true state of things at once. Do it calmly and clearly — if you lose your temper, people will stop listening or become defensive/offensive.

2. If you do not find a sympathetic ear, find a person who will hear you out — a teacher, a parent, a friend or a brother or sister who believes in you.

3. If you have been in trouble before, it may be easy for people to suspect you. So earn back your respect in their eyes by behaving with integrity.

4. If what you are accused of is trivial, sometimes it is better to brush it off with a smile.

5. If you have been accused of something serious it is important to put your side of the story forward quickly and truthfully.

Just Remember!

• Respect your friends’ secrets if you do not want to be wrongly accused of revealing them.

• Do not accuse others without first getting proof of their wrongdoing.

• Putting the blame on someone else for what you have done wrong is sheer cowardice. Own up and quickly!

• If someone else is wrongly blamed, stand up for that person.

• Do not pass the buck.
