can anybody help me find two good words i could use?
So ... imagine there are two people: Person A and Person B. Person A says, "That person is pushy." Person B says, "Oh, he's not pushy ... he's just assertive." Person A sees someone else and says, "That person is greedy." Person B looks over and says, "You mean that person who is ambitious?" Get the idea? Person A has a negative interpretation of a person, whereas Person B puts it in a more positive light. Wouldn't you rather be called assertive as opposed to pushy?
For this post, I would like you to be both Person A and Person B. First, you need to come up with a negative characteristic, and then you need to come up with the positive version of the same characteristic. Finally, you need to explain the different impact each word would have.
