Whatever we do, there's always times when we need to speak ourselves out of an embarrassing or a fatal situation. And if we don't know the required language, we can use body language.
The old Greeks used to speak with logic at trial with a remarkable memory of the situation. When they didn't know what to say then they used spit on the opponent and swear (etc.. calling the opponent a manwhore, or a slave on the run). This method wasn't working any good at all, but they couldn't find any better way, since they didn't have a computer, an internet connection and the knowledge of this very informative site (handlemistakes.com). The old Vikings used to shut up every time they didn't have something useful to say. They were following the motto: "If you don't know what to say, then you can always shut up". Since they didn't say much, they didn't get many problems, aside from the knowledge that they couldn't get some issues solved and that they lived a life without much meaning. The Parrots imitate everybody else since they don't have anything useful to say that comes from their own brains, no wonder why they still live in a cage and eat peanuts. What are we doing today? Well there are many situations today in which we need inspiration to speak ourselves through. Such situations can be: Quote:
1. When someone asks you a question that you don't know the answer on and is pressing the gun in your head. 2. When someone asks if you could do them a favor and you don't want to. 3. When you are holding a speech about something and in the middle of the speech, you suddenly forget everything about the subject that you speak about. 4. When someone asks: "How do you feel"? Some of them seem to be impossible to answer; others are very obvious for normal people. Let's think a half minute on the situations and then read these answers: 1. The gangster, want to know the answer, keep that in mind. Tell him/her calmly that you don't know the answer exactly but you can give some clues how to find the answer. If he wants your daughter or someone that you love more than yourself then you have to be careful and you might consider ensuring to not give him/her all clues. Giving out false clues is however very dangerous since the gangster will try to kill you when he/she discovered that you fooled him/her. When the killer is gone, call the cop for protection. 2. Imagine that it's Friday and you've worked a long week and have been busy at phone calls almost all the time, when you get home you think that you can finally relax, drink beer and do whatever you want to do. But then suddenly, a man/woman coming from a town far away tells you that he/she forget the keys to the new apartment and wonders if he/she can sleep in your room. Frustrating, isn't it? The best thing to do here is to recommend such people to go to a neighbor that you don't like very much. If he/she refuses, invite him/her, take a few pills for headache and give him/her as much booze as possible. 3. Whether you held your speech in front of a class when you're at school or if you hold in front of a group of businessmen at work, it's always good to be ready. People hate when someone forgot something important to say (although they are not showing it openly). Always ensure that you are dead ready a few days before! If you're still do this mistake then you can always try to switch to a subject that your more comfortable with and on the same time read your notes until you get ready again and then go back. 4. Always answer: "I just feel like everyone else, How about you?". |
