About once a week, I share some nugget of wisdom that has helped me and get a little preachy. It can be an awesome pearl given to me years ago that I have worked into my arsenal and had great success with. It can be a meme that struck me and I feel is worthy of some conversation. Either way, positive thoughts and conversation on the blockchain is a noble cause as we help eachother improve financially, socially, and personally.
Additionally, I suggest you create your own #thoughtfuldailypost along with @wesphilbin and the crew, and come pimp it with the supportive and entertaining folks on The Ramble https://discord.gg/UNK5A6 every Thursday on #PYPT Pimp Your Post Thursday. You will get rewarded in Shade tokens AND meet some folks who will become good blockchain buddies.
Stop Saying Sorry!
First of all, telling a Canadian to stop saying sorry is like asking them to avoid using EH? at the end of every sentence, or saying aboot instead of about. I know this.
That being said, take a look at those examples and imagine how the conversation changes when you say thanks. Meekly apologizing for the sake of protecting someone's feelings or sparing them inconvenience accomplishes nothing. Well, it robs you of any posture and potentially makes people distracted or uncomfortable when you have apologized for something that doesn't require an apology.
I am sorry for talking so much.
Immediate thoughts: Yah you are long-winded. You could have gotten to the point quicker and not wasted my time. I didn't feel you were talking that much. Wonder why you apologized. Awkward!
Thank you for listening to me
Immediate thoughts: You are welcome. It was my pleasure. Makes me feel good to help someone by listening. What are friends for?
This one is pretty simple and probably doesn't need much explanation. More of an exercise really. It will show you how often you apologize. It will help you be more thankful and positive in conversations while being gracious to others. What could it hurt?
Thoughts? Sorry eh?
