Never Speak In Absolutes

When you avoid speaking in absolutes, you leave room for flexibility, openness, and the possibility of different perspectives.

  • Avoid using words that imply certainty or absoluteness. Here are some words to be cautious: favorite, always, never, only, best, worst, absolutely, etc…

Instead of Absolute: "This is the best restaurant in town."

Avoid Absolute: "I really enjoy the food at this restaurant. It's one of my favorites in town."

Explanation: By expressing personal enjoyment rather than declaring it as the absolute best, you acknowledge that others may have different tastes and preferences
