I received a business email yesterday that is still setting in my inbox. I haven’t replied to it yet because doing so wouldn’t have been a great idea. Unless you have better self control than I do, never reply to an email when you’re frustrated.
I typed 3 sentences in reply, then I deleted the email and took a break allowing my mind to wander someplace other than work for just a few moments.
I know I have a sharp tongue.
I know I have a sharp tongue — sometimes on purpose and other times not so much. It’s hard to determine the tone of a sender’s email, and it’s easy to misunderstand the intent. I always try to be careful and consider my words before I hit send. You do the same?
It’s true that less is more.
I could pepper off a scathing email proving the sender wrong (and dumb), but I won’t. I’ll just say “thanks but no thanks” and “much success blah blah blah…“
Now you know: After 10 years together and multiple gold records, when the Beatles broke up in 1970, both Paul & George were only 27 years old.
