BEING GRACIOUS
Don't measure the world by a perfect standard. It's boring and demoralizing because everyone
will fail your test. If someone
compliments you for a job well done..say a thank you. There's no need to mention how you failed to reach your goals. It's not humble to put yourself down.
While you are putting yourself down
you actually sound superior... and
it may appear that you are actually
fishing for compliments. You may
also sound as if you are belittleling
the other person's opinion .......in
effect saying "what could you possibly know" ? Not at all gracious. Being gracious is accepting thanks and appreciation. It is in acknowledging your debt to others.........for no matter how much you think your work is worth....you must have had plenty of help on the way to your success.....even from those you think have stood in your way. Be especially gracious to them.
Always be gracious for favours that others do for you.....particularly when the situation that inspired their generosity has revealed your weakness.
When someone remembers you.....be gracious. It is a common oversight as others are busy ...and so they forgot. Do you really need that much reassurance that you need to make such a big deal of it ??
When you are being gracious......other people remember their manners, put thngs in perspective, apologize and become gracious.
All it takes is one person being gracious about a difficult situation to make it better.
