Shooting From
Lip...It's a deadly game. FOOT IN MOUTH DEPARTMENT
By Oscar Bruce
In Northern Canada there are two seasons, winter and July. When
back roads thaw in July they get muddy. Trucks traveling
back roads leave deep ruts that become frozen when winter returns. When you enter
backwoods you are greeted by a sign that says, "Drivers, please choose carefully which ruts you drive in, because you'll be in it for
next twenty miles."
Mark Twain gives us
following advice. "The secret to good conversation is leaving out
wrong words."
The same thing can be said about your own conversations. Choose your words carefully; you may have to live with
disastrous consequences for
next twenty years. I've seen many friendships, and business opportunities sabotaged because someone pulled
trigger before they assessed
consequences. Words, once spoken, can never be recalled.
