Don’t shoot the messenger
October 4, 2006
I shun being the bearer of bad news. Given the choice, I'd rather deliver good news. I like making people happy even if I'm just the messenger. Recently, I reluctantly became an expert in breaking bad (and shocking) news to people I know and to people I've met for the first time. Name it, I've done it through all mediums : in person, through text, in a phone call, using email and what have you. Through all these, I've learned that it requires tact, sensitivity, a careful choice of words and a good reading of the personality of the receiver to relay such message. With strangers, you just have to wing it and go with your gut. So far, nobody has gone berserk on me. So, to all the people who needs to deliver bad news, please DON'T look at me ——– I've had more than enough to last me a lifetime.
