    Things Smart People Never Say In Public

    Posted: 09 Mar 2018 01:43 AM PST

    Have you ever had a conversation and said something that you immediately regret? It's happened to the best of us at one point or another, but the Smart people choose their words wisely.

    "Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something." – Plato

    The words that come out of our mouths can be interpreted in four ways: positive, negative, neutral, or unclear. Smart people and emotionally mature folks tend to speak in a deliberate, transparent manner; crafting their words to minimize a negative or enigmatic response. To avoid the dreaded thoughts and feelings that accompany an impulsive, erratic string of words, it helps to have a basic understanding of things not to say in public.

    Here Are 10 Things That Smart People Never Say:

    1. "That's not fair." :

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but life isn't fair. Saying a phrase similar to "That's not fair! " makes you appear immature and whiny. Perhaps what happened is not fair; it may even be an egregious injustice. The thing to remember is that people surrounding us are often unaware of the "incident," and even if they are privy to the scenario, proclaiming "It's not fair" does absolutely nothing to solve the problem. Instead of complaining when things don't go their way, intelligent people want to know exactly what went wrong so that they can make the proper adjustments in order to prevent future mistakes or misunderstandings.

    2. "It's not my fault." :

    It's never a good idea to cast blame. Even if it had been minimal involvement, you still had a role to play. As such, you also shoulder the blame. If not, offer an objective, dispassionate explanation of what happened. The moment you start pointing fingers is the moment people start seeing you as someone who lacks accountability for their actions. Instead of pointing fingers and throwing others under the bus, intelligent people hold themselves, and their teams, accountable.

    3. "I'll try." :

    I will try..." There are no three words in the English language that are more deceptive, both to the person who says them and the person who hears them. People who say "I will try" have given themselves permission to fail. No matter what happens, they can always claim that they "tried". If you're asked to do something, either commit to doing it or offer an alternative, but don't say that you'll try because it sounds like you won't try all that hard.

    4. "I can't." :

    Saying I can't suggest that you're not willing to do what it takes to get the job done. Instead of saying what you can't do, say what you can do. For example, instead of "I can't run those numbers," say "I don't yet know how to run that type of analysis. Is there someone who can show me so that I can do it on my own next time?"

    5. "It is what is." :

    There may be a certain zen feeling with this statement, but an intelligent person would never say it out loud since it translates to "I have nothing to add to this situation," "I don't know how to fix this problem." Intelligent people don't back down from a challenge. They thrive on making the world better. They use their problem-solving skills and innovative thinking to face problems head-on. And, they never accept something for what it is.

    6. "He's a jerk." :

    There is no upside to making a disparaging remark about a colleague. If your remark is exact, everybody already knows it, so there's no need to point it out. If your remark is inaccurate, you're the one who ends up looking like a jerk. There will always be rude or incompetent people in any workplace, and chances are that everyone knows who they are.

    7. "As I've said before." :

    This phrase implies that you're insulted for having to repeat yourself, or that you're somehow "better" in some way than the recipient. To be fair, repeating the same thing over and over again to the same person is frustrating. Refrain from verbalizing this frustration, and attempt to clarify what you're saying.

    8. "This will only take a minute." :

    Saying that something only takes a minute undermines your skills and gives the impression that you rush through tasks. Unless you're literally going to complete the task in 60 seconds, feel free to say that it won't take long, but don't make it sound as though the task can be completed any sooner than it can actually be finished.

    9. "I give up." :

    Saying "I give up," is seemingly harmless, it is an affirmation that we're incapable of overcoming something in front of us. Maybe it's a terrible boss, a difficult assignment/project, a disdainful co-worker, or any countless number of things. Remember you are much stronger and smarter than you think. There is absolutely nothing that you cannot overcome. "I can do this" are the only words you need.

    10. "That's not in my job description." :

    If your boss asks you to do something that you feel is inappropriate for your position, the best move is to complete the task eagerly. This often sarcastic phrase makes you sound as though you're only willing to do the bare minimum required to keep getting a paycheck, which is a bad thing if you like job security. Later, schedule a conversation with your boss and it also enables you and your boss to develop a long-term understanding of what you should and shouldn't be doing.

    If yes, does it still have that feature?

    Also, do you know of any other group purchasing companies or websites?
