A Proud Tradition of Excellence
Why Not Gossip?
by Julie Bartkus
When you gossip, the person to whom you gossip to (no matter how great a friend he or she is) is left with a question in his or her mind that goes something like this: "what will they say about me behind my back?"
Gossip deteriorates your reputation and destroys the amount of trust people have in you. You may lose your job, customers and friends if you gossip about them directly or indirectly.
Gossiping hurts you just as much -- if not more-- than anyone else! It's a waste of time, keeping your thoughts and energy drenched in negativity.
Gossip takes your focus off of where it should be - on yourself. When you pick others apart -- looking for their flaws -- you're not focusing on the changes you need to implement into your life so that you can have a positive, productive, and successful life.
