Let the DIALOGUE Begin!

Maybe

Maybe.

Such a non-commital word.

If I had my way, I would eliminate the word MAYBE from our vocabulary. Let your yes be your yes and your no be your no, but none of this "maybe" stuff.

I'm guilty of using the word myself. When I don't want to deal with conflict by saying no to someone, I simply say "maybe". Just seems so much easier that way.

Rarely do I say maybe when I really mean yes. I think that's how it is with most people.

So if maybe REALLY means no, then why not just eliminate maybe altogether.

What do you think?

Let the DIALOGUE begin! When you say maybe, do you really mean yes or no?

Talk to me...

Til next time!
