When one person asks you not to talk to another person about something are they:
a) Covering their backside?
b) Hiding something?
c) Trying to protect that or another person?
And the answer is:....
It could be a) b) or c). The point is its better to talk to people directly. If you don't, everyone can end up getting hurt.
If you want something done well, do it yourself. Don't entrust it to someone else.
Different scenarios mean going about things in a slightly different way but in the end you should talk to people directly.
Sounds like I should be taking some of the advice here to :-s
All things are relative
Though the quote 'Time is relative' never seemed to work when I had a late bit of schoolwork! Rats!!
