4) When you’re tempted to gossip
Let’s face it, we’ve all been tempted to engage in a bit of gossip. It’s such a common, yet potentially harmful, aspect of human communication.
I recall a time when a coworker was sharing some juicy information about another colleague. It was tempting to join in.
But then I remembered the adage, “Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, and small minds discuss people.”
This quote is often attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, but it carries a lot of weight in the field of psychology too. Engaging in gossip can harm relationships and erode the trust others have in you.
