If something someone says
can be taken more than one way--
take it the good way.

Many times, particularly via email, it's easy to take something that
someone says and construe it as an offense to yourself. Yet, most times,
it was probably not *intended* to be an offense. People have different
ways of speaking, different ways of writing, different ways of expressing
themselves. And people have different ways of interpreting what they hear,
see, and read.


And yes, this philosophy comes in particularly handy when working with
SME's. :-)

"Writing about yourself is a tremendously powerful exercise. If you want to
know how accurately you perceive reality in the present, try writing about
your perception of your past. You just might discover an entirely new
reality."--Lisa Bronson
