Where has conversation gone?

very good business blog

Hi Mark,

That is a very good point and yes very true.

With the miles between us all this is internet
reality so compassion and good conversation
and double checking.

We do have this issue also I think with conversation
and translations this can help.

Thank you for sharing Mark

I remember a time when disagreements between two people
were settled sharing across the back fence over lemonade...
Those days are gone (except with your next door neighbors)

In this internet age, it's easy to misinterpret someone's meaning,
tone,...etc simply because you can't see or hear them.

You can't decipher body laguange, inflections, or tone of voice.

Bottom line is:
Folks interpret things the way to.
There's nothing we can do about it
(except to try use emoticons to

Hi Jenny,

I do think some of it is about us being in the attention age, people saying "look at me, look at me" I am a martyr" Cannot be bothered with unreasonable behaviours. It just does not make sense.
I guess Suing is for the unreasonable ones, the ones bitter and the ones unable to come to a mediation or agreement. So I guess to say if you can converse and your next person can to then you will have success with many people and make many good friends.

Heres to long lasting friendships, l

Wise words Lisa,

It does seem that the gentle art of conversation has died and been replaced with the small screen at home and "I'll sue you" in business.

How right you are Rae that people who dont have time for conversation to resolved difficulties, do find time to sue!!

The internet is a great medium for people to let rip, while they sit at their computers in their PJs, safe in the knowledge that they dont have to look you in the face and that noone else is looking.
It is a haven for cow

Hello Smileyhappymom,

Its funny years ago I to had a dispute over leads.

Now I totally agree, pick who you work with!

This business is not for everyone and I do believe
you must gain some sort of satisfaction from anything
you do.

Heres to you!

Hi Beth,

You had some good solid reasoning which is what is needed for sure in any dispute.
Yes it did come about by a situation but I do not want to rehash.

I think mediation is a good way to solve disputes, very good idea to put forward, its
great to get so much conversation about Conversation (oh thats a mouthful).

I live in New Zealand and only when I started dealing with America personalities then
I heard it spoken of even in conversation. I know it happens everywhere and there is
not

Hi Becky,

Well said, thank you for your sharing.

Always a pleasure a team mate.

I have encountered the whole I'm gonna sue you thing in my business. I had purchased a leads list where this guy or someone at his address requested information from me. I tried calling several times to no avail, noone would answer, I left several messages, same thing. I emailed him and that is when I got the sue thing. I removed him immediately out of my contact manager and that was resolved peaceably out of court. People can be hateful. I wish it wasn't so. I'd rather find out early before the

Hi Lisa...

This must be a disappointment to you also because you no doubt had felt you'd cultivated a business relationahip with this person? I can't imagine it being any other way. it is a real disappointment when a business relationship deteriorates the same as a personal one does...

Conversation would be what is called for... intervention between the two parties now may need a third party to get a resolution to prevent it from becoming an actual lawsuit...

I don't know the circumstances b

Compassion and working toward a common goal is the key.
I can't get over how some people just want to be right so bad they'll walk all over someone else to try to prove something and don't even try to see the other person's point of view. You've got to learn to put yourself in someone else's shoes before you can judge anyone, and judging yourself comes first. I've heard so many people quote the bible as saying, thou shalt not judge. But that's not what it says. It says, Judge not LEST ye be j

Hello Coach Steve,

Yes Conversation in Coaching is crucial, I am pleased
for your Success, Your success is measured by you and
so you are successful.

I do think "walk before you run" in business and I also
believe in "think before you act".

If this was used more often than not a terrible crash of
people would be avoided.

I agree with your words, well said!!

Thank you

HI ppl_cheryl63,

Very good fun way of looking at this topic,
I am so glad I shared with you all.

This lawsuit thing is turning into a joke
but I guess there is a time and a place
where that is your only option.

I think the simplier we make life, the easier
it is on us.

Just little ol' mes opinion, lol

Hello Garnet,

I think Laughter is the massage of the soul.

I agree with looking at the brighter side of life
and feeling good about whom you are.

None of us are perfect, that is why I think conversation
is a great start.

Warmest Regards

Hi Lisa;

Every moment in our life we have choice to tear down or build up. People who tear down don't understand yet that what they are doing to others they do to themselves.

We all need to practice skillful thought & skillful faith vs blind thought & blind faith and be authentic with each other.

The best way I have found to change the world is by starting with myself (complaining about or sharing how bad it is out there doesn't bring any change)

This is why I'm committed to convers

It is a shame that it has come to this but "Sue" is definitely a popular young lady. Ever since she got involved with the hot coffee lady at McDonald's everyone wants to invite her to the party. Could be that that is listed as one of the easiest ways to get rich, win a big lawsuit.

However lawsuits are becoming increasingly more frivolous. I posted some videos in a blog a couple of days ago about some frivolous lawsuits. Even when there is an effort made before a problem arises it ends in a

Hi Lisa,

I am not even sure where to start with this one. I know that I myself ain't perfect by any means and we are all bound to have conflicts or a difference of opinion with others from time to time but in any case neither party is nessacarily right and even if if they were, being right doesn't make you any better than anyone else.

The ability to look within and realise you are wrong and do something about it is a gift and virtue that will pay you tremdous dividends. Not always easy

Hello Peaceful & Mizrae,

This was definately from the heart today,
I do not like negativity and thank you both
so much for your support.

I consider you must be very good people
and hope soon we can have a conversation.

Warmest Regards

Unfortunately you are so right, too many are too busy to take the time to resolve a situation, yet will take the time to sue. Or, heaven forbid, take the time to end a life rather than resolve a conflict.

I must say that I totally agree with your fine point of view, Lisa! :)

This society has become so packed with self- involved, tehno- dazed, machine wrapped "people " that it's almost impossible for them to really reach inside themselve and find the time to actually have a Human Moment.

Conversation, Listening and simple problem solving without threats are sadly going away in today's world... I have seen so many people resort to violence when a few seconds of politeness, and understandin
