The best way to correct your friends

By the end of this article, you'll learn the best mathematics of life. " Plus two minus one. " You don't need a calculator nor your fingers😅.

A story is told of a king who had only one eye, and at one point he was looking for illustrators to paint him. A high price would be paid for the best artwork.

One artist came to the competition and he was terrified to draw the king since he had just one eye. Should I really paint the king mono eyed with all his powers? He used both eyes to draw the king due to fear of exposing the king flaws. Because he lied, he was imprisoned.

A second one showed up and he got news of the previous artist. He chose to depict the monarch exactly as he was with his flaws. This time the king was more furious that he ordered the artist to receive a death penalty.

Afterwards a third artist arrived and after hearing the news of previous colleges, he gave it some thought. He drew the monarch looking sideways from the side where he had an eye. This hid the monarchs flaws in a way that the artist didn't lie. He was awarded a huge reward.

Our friends frequently come to us with shortcomings, but we are reluctant to point them out for fear of coming across as disrespectful or even damaging their self-esteem.

Should we correct our friends? How, if so?

Well, the "Plus two minus one" rule states that, if you wish to correct your friends, first of all find two things good with them, then point out the one flaw. That way the flaw may come out as rude.

Does it work on you or, you're the get to the point, speak the hurting truth?

I bet that's the reason parents used to tricks on us and some point even 'bribing' us to get us do what they wanted. For example, sometimes when mom called us we used to pretend dead asleep and she would say, when someone is sleeping they must alter a sound 'pwee!' Seconds later me and my siblings would start altering same sound and that's how we got busted. There was this teenager who had just passed his driving test and was utterly ecstatic. The youngster approached his father and asked when they might have a conversation about him using the family automobile, just as his father had anticipated. His father promised to strike a deal with his son: "You need to study the Bible, get a haircut, and raise your grades from a C to a B." After that, we'll discuss the vehicle. After giving it some thinking, the boy deci...

An old lady carjacks 4 men

With age comes wisdom and 'confusion' 🤔. Before you argue, how many times have you parent forgotten to buy you something and claim that it's old age(aki ni uzee). Isn't that confusion? My grandpa once confessed to us that as he was showering, he noticed that the soap wasn't foaming. After bathing, that's when he realized he was using his phone instead of the soap. This is wisdom huh? 😀 Now that you agree with me, there was a lady who went for shopping and upon returning to her car found 4 men in act of leaving with the vehicle. She dropped her shopping bag and drew a pistol and screamed at the top of her lungs, "I have a gun and know how to use it!" The 4 men after seeing the BOLD, OLD lady didn't wait for a second warning. They got out and fled within milliseconds. The lady shaking loaded her shopping bag at the back of the car and got into the driver seat. She shook such that she couldn't even ignite the vehicle.
