BLOG UPDATE: Make Friends In The Bay Area

Gossip a poison that infects a relationship

One of the most embarrassingly moments we experience is when we are gossiping about some one and that person enters the room. Let's face it most of us, if not all of us have been there done that. I know I have been guilty of that in the past. We all have our own idiosyncrasies. So how do we break that habit? I have read a great book that I believe will help us in this area. The author is Og Mandino, the book The Greatest Salesmen in the world. The Scroll Marked 2 he writes.I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I speak? I will laud mine enemies and they will become friends; I will encourage my friends and they will become brothers. Always will I dig for reasons to applaud; never will I scratch for excuses to gossip. When I am tempted to criticize I will bite on m tongue; when I am moved to praise I will shout from the roofs.

Is it not so that birds, the wind, the sea and all nature speaks with the music of praise for their creator? cannot I speak the same music to his children? Henceforth will I remember this secret and it will change my life? WOW.
