remember the old saying "you can catch more flies with honey"? well over the years it's been revised to "you can catch more flies with manure" which one is true?

I try hard not to be rude or patronising,
Best to be yourself and tell it how it is,
without offending any one
WE walk the line , !!!!
Not always the easiest route.
Have fun
:)

I think it's always best to stay truthful and kindly if the opportunity in life presents itself. My findings have been that we give what we get if we mean to survive, the products of harsh realm conditions play by a completely different paradigm of behavior. Sweet and softly can hide a lion within, the content of the character is never certain to any except the self; and sadly for some not even that. I like nice, it fits like my favorite leather jacket. I'll take the honey over the $hit any day, funny enough I've come up against this before and I always go for the honey; I guess it's just a taste thing.

You have to look at the question in terms of the long run.
Short run rudeness and lies might be easier. Long run being nice gets your farther with people and telling the truth means you don't have to try to keep up with your lies. People respond posivitvely to gentleness (usually) and if you get a reputation as a liar life gets a whole lot harder.

that's not. i stumble on it a lot less complicated to inform the reality. i imagine mendacity is way extra sturdy. i understand those who believe you although. Your interest is fairly no individual's company yet your own. i do not blame you for mendacity with the intention to keep your privateness without the rudeness of an answer like "none of your company" or the awkwardness of "i do not favor to discuss my interest in case you do not thoughts". The mendacity ought to capture up with you and reason you extra hardship than no longer answering or telling the reality. you ought to favor to commence wondering up some variety of clarification it extremely is a minimum of in route of the reality in the previous this blows up on you.

I believe both sayings are correct. I guess it just depends on the situation and the person you're talking to. I personally think lying is easier because it makes people think about it. While they're thinking about what you said, it gives you enough time to make your story solid.

When you are nice, you tend to smile and smiles are contagious thus helping others to feel relaxed and subline.
As my daddy always told me "Always tell the truth, that way you do not have to remember what it was you said."
The goal is tranquility.
