The Benefits of Cursing

Curse change course.
The best way to ''get out of the Flow.''
My experience.

Ina Matijevic

Dear Donald, I was in process of starting a new business, & I was very frustated. I stuck in my condition, & no improvement.

I get my Idea a year ago to bring some foreighn brand. I do my research, I take a partnerships, everybody exited & trust me. we do market research and all of us is happy with the result, we build a business plan, and evrything.

we start a preparations, & it was already more then a year since the first time I found this product, but there is always not perfect, we always found more preparations to solve. in the end we found out that we don't have enough money to pay the capable professionals to do some details stuff.

we can't move cause we're like a sniper who only have one bullet, if we miss we'll lost a lifetime opportunity.

we're frustated, we're almost give up. we put a deadline and deadline, but never fulfill it. I was shame to people who trust me, also I almost run out my cash.

I know it's not the right time to ask this question, but can U at least share us your wisdom, say something to help us. I don't want to quit but I have to if all my partners leave me. the deadline is close, please say something

thanx Huang

but maybe it isn´t
you can just leave it out,
no problem

p.s.

The perception of cursing or venting. To curse in the work-place to us, is ok...to a point. Cursing can become political, by too many sensitive people that just do not understand or care to understand humans. However, a person or work-place also needs standards and ethics.

To vent in private.

I curse at work with the not so sensitive staff (you can tell who is and who isn't) and I do so to vent. My cursing is a statement saying damn the man who created political correctness and sensitivity. Sometimes there is just no english substitute for a passionate explative. My basic rule of thumb to keep it toned down is to only use the words you can get away with on basic cable. For those who don't know that would include most the four letter words minus the "f" bomb. Surprisingly the word friggin or fricking is widely accepted as a substitute for the infamous "f" bomb. It is tricky, once you are in the habit it becomes difficult to turn it off.

Damn straight! ;)

I think there are more creative ways to let off steam, frankly. Anyone with half a brain can run their mouth and let curse words flow when they have a little stress. In my opinion, the trick is to show a little class, and keep your cool. If I see people losing it and cursing, I don't really think people respect them or look up to them all that much. I pretty much lose interest in people who can't use better language. Just like I shake my head when I read these comments....guess I'm kind of a "good english" snob.

I have to disagree - I believe that you can express yourself just as well without cursing. If you say that you cannot, then you lack willpower (and language skills).

Mr. Trump,

Those that may be surprised by your comments here, have obviously never heard you speak live before for Bill Zanker. First off, thank you for the informative speech you gave last week in New York... the way I was taking notes, you may have even thought I was one of those "nasty reporters," as you put it, lol. The one thing that stands out in my mind, is the comment you made about the current real estate market, and how homeowners and the banks are both in trouble right now because of the rising interest rates. You said, "in business, try to have certainty." Words to live by Mr. Trump. This would be the 2nd time I've seen you speak live, and truly, it does seem you are offering up some of your most guarded secrets to success... how success starts with a specific mindset. It would surprise many, that they paid you $1.5 million for a 2 hr. speech.. but few would argue that you've got the magic touch.

I actually sat in on Don Jr.'s speech earlier this year in New York, on real estate investing, and he taught me something, that could well be considered common knowledge, yet, I see so few people actually practice it: he said, "when it comes to business, you have to take it seriously." There is something about maintaining professionalism.. there is something about the way you act in business, that tends to drive people to respond more positively. If you want to get the best out of people, I'd say dictate the tempo by being professional and others will fall into place.

Patrick MVREI,

Ok, dadgumit, I have to vent here. Since I was 13, I have written 29 song lyrics, including one inspired by Donald Trump, and 5 poems, one of which has been published and won the editor's choice award. My English and music professors have praised my use of language and my writing skills, but even they curse sometimes and often look the other way when I say some choice words. We are all adults, and we all know that sometimes in the heat of frustration, nothing works better than letting loose some colorful language.

I could relate to this blog. Cursing is great, when a 50 lb. salt block falls on your foot. I know, it was my foot. Donald is right about, when and with whom you use this language. My spouse works with 3 men and 1 woman in his immediate area. When the cursing gets out of hand, the woman will wave a white flag. One of them will notice the flag, and say the flag is up, and the one cursing, will stop. This works well for them, and they find it to be funny. Their female co-worker found a great way, to keep things from getting out of hand. I believe the men like the fact, that she keeps them in line, and stops them from wasting co. time. Some venting is good, but limit the time, there is WORK to be done. Happy Holidays to All!

At my company, there is zero tolerance for creating an atmosphere of hostility, which cursing would be a reason for dismissal. As a matter of fact, I know someone who almost got fired for complimenting a woman as "beautiful" because it was taken as sexual harrassment.

The only curse I hear at work is, "get back to work!"

There is no question that you can communicate without using colorful expressions. There is agreement that you should choose the time and audience with care. One thing a few choice words can do is get the necessary attention to make the point. This is very effective in my present line of work. It also throws the audience a little off guard which can be an advantage if you need to establish control, but this only works if not overused. Colorful expressions also can add humor.

One more thought, sometimes an unusual word can do the same thing a curse or swear word would. For example borborygmus, or defenestrate. That offers an opportunity to educate someone. I guess the choice depends on the situation and the desired outcome. All words are just sounds, and it is in the interpretation that meaning is applied.
