Don’t Tell Me!!!

Not to do it!

Because “ I will”

How about you?

Depends how it’s spoken out?

Re: Don’t Tell Me!!!

Yes, it depends how its spoken. I don't obey orders, but if something is suggested to me like an idea, then I would think about it, before doing it. ie "How about you try this?" rather than "Do it THIS way, not that way!" I am not a child.

Re: Don’t Tell Me!!!

I will listen to advice and act upon it …if it makes sense to do so.
it’s wise to take onboard another point of view, before coming to a decision.

Re: Don’t Tell Me!!!

When I was a kid if I was told not to do something, like climbing a high tree at the bottom of one of our fields, or going into the attic, which had not been cleared out for over 100 years it was an invitation for me to do it! I fell out of the tree, not once but twice. I found a grenade in the attic and not knowing what it was I kicked it around on the back lawn. It was lucky I didn't pull the pin out, or I wouldn't be around to tell the tell. I have the living daylights thrashed out of me for that escapade.

Nowadays I listen to any advice which is given to me, if I think it sensible I abide by it.

Something I picked up from a Japanese colleague ... Always tell someone that they did a good job even if you know it could have been done better a different way. Then ask them if they could think of a way to do it better and to show you. That way, that person doesn't lose face and really learns something new.
