Putting forward OPINION: hope you’re not Kidding or Joking!

putting forward your opinion, opinion management
Whether you are in office, home or partying out… a judgement takes shape in back of your mind about everything you see or hear. It may not be necessarily based on fact or knowledge. This view formed can be kept secret deep in your heart or it can be shared with few or all.

Having an opinion is natural, it’s an automatic process. But, why effectively putting it in front of others is so important…?? The reason is very simple, if you put forward your opinion confidently; then you can influence others and keep the conversation exciting.

You need to be well informed & updated about all the relevant global & local events. The key to make yourself feel important is “prominently project your opinion”. Don’t hesitate to speak, even when your opinion is just opposite to the opinion of majority of the folk. Opposition don’t always means you’re a wrong & the other people are right. YES, May be sometimes you are not correct...!!

When a myth is repeated loudly… it seems to be true. Dishonest opinions smash initially into dishonest people & afterward dispersed by honest people who propagate this without knowing what is correct or true and "what they are doing?". The utmost fraud anyone undergo is from their personal opinions. Don’t let your inner voice lose its shin due to noise made by nonsense talks.

The clock is running fast, don’t waste your time analyzing others opinion and get trapped into them. Just listen & follow your own instinct and heart, avoid to live life based on the outcome of others thought process. Being a part of cultured society, we respect others, but it doesn’t mean that we need to agree with others opinion always.

AND, it’s also not necessary to stick to your opinion once you made it public. It can change again and again, till the surroundings keeps changing. As many times as you feel you can change your opinion but don’t change your principles/ethics/values. "If in doubt, put forward a second opinion after full exploration of the details"

Because, too often, the know-how of a particular past instant shape your behavior & drive your opinion, over-riding the cold & hard facts that fuels up current situation. Sometimes, you are so passionate and enthusiastic that your assumptions may over-whelm your ability to understand the criticality & actuality of the situation.

You become biased and keep struggling to convert personal experience into perfect & practical opinion. The problem may not have a universally correct solution. This Untested assumptions & insignificant opinion must be handled on priority, before they play havoc & time is wasted. Don’t make it your ‘status quo’… sometimes just listen to others to breakthrough deficiencies… to craft novel way out..!!

At the same time, is it necessary to have an opinion & put it forward always..??? Your opinion doesn’t count as much as you think. Sometimes, Just listen to others… actually people always need noble listeners… and it counts a lot; it puts a lasting impression on others. Don’t speak, if it’s not your area of interest or it’s out of your knowledge domain.

Even though a reliance in self is commendable and maybe excusable, even if harmful consequences arise, what is less justifiable is when opinions are based on assumptions instead of facts. A straightforward explanation of your opinion can build credibility. Be true to yourself…“SHARE with CARE”

The distinctness among all the great personalities are a) They are positive listeners b) They are well read persons c) All had a critical inner self analysis about themselves. Keep blogging.
