One word can destroy your credibility
I had been questioned what are the words that I will never say in front of public or written in social media I said "really?" and "honestly" in front of public. After two Malaysians student did their PhD defense and correcting my R&D staffs doing presentation, I feel the need to voice out the art of communications that had gone wrong. Throughout slanga English by adding local accent into Pompous British language, I feel the word "really? and "honestly" definitely send wrong signal to the listeners or readers..
Do you need to say ...!
1) "really?" in a corporate vocabulary?
2) "honestly" ..... close your eyes and imagine someone in front of you and other leaders hearing someone says..Honestly..i think this..
Now question yourself... 1) Why do u need to use the word "honestly" when you have the so-called bulletproof facts and tests?
Here, In my opinion..he/they wanted something - approval. He thought that it was a way to make a hard point, but we all questioned whether he was lying to us at all other times.
I smirked (on face or crunching my heart in a while) whenever I heard they said it and alarm bells went off in my head. Beginning a request with “honestly” didn’t inspire anyone around u to give you whatever you wanted in a better or faster fashion; it just made others suspicious of you.
Why?
To be credible, you should be straightforward every time. And when you are, no qualifier like “honestly” is needed. Authenticity is the only honesty you need.
I believe that “honestly” is the most damaging word in business for three reasons:
Using the term “honestly” at best undermines and at worst destroys your credibility. Some people will react like I did to the sales VP and question your overall transparency – or your level of honesty in other situations. Using that term calls one’s integrity into question.
Window to your frustration
Employing a term like “honestly” is like a “tell” in poker: it grabs attention, sometimes when you least want it and often after someone has disagreed with you.
Don’t let your words be a window to your frustration! Whatever frustration you have is best communicated with direct words – and yes, communicated honestly. Use your clarity of thought and tone to share your point-of-view. Don't let threatening words like "honestly" to try to make a case for you.
Creates distance
Prefacing a statement with “honestly” creates distance. It pushes people back, making it harder for them to get close and to see your point. This approach harms your own relationship-building, let alone any argument that you are poised to make. Words matter a lot, and your integrity matters more; don’t compromise it by creating the chasm of a bad impression. To draw people in, be earnest in your interactions every time.
Kudos to you if you have learned to avoid using words like "honestly." And if you don't use them, you probably are keenly aware of them when they are spoken.
"Honestly" might even give you a little scare if it is a word that does not cross your lips. But move beyond the initial shiver because there are insights to be learned. Listen closely for why the speaker chose the word. There is emotion/motivation to be gleaned from whatever follows.
For the best self-presentation in the workplace, think about the words you use and how you deliver them. Seek language that is clear and positive and which avoids the risk of drawing your integrity into question. Speaking eloquently, confidently, directly, and in an unqualified manner will reduces misunderstandings and will increase respect for you as well as for the message you are delivering.
Honestly, how do you feel when you hear the word? You are thinking and smiling, aren't you?

Is sharing knowledge is considered caring...?
My passion are always cooking, baking, traveling, reading, painting and collecting, caring for my orchids.
With all those social media mushrooming, we are blessed with apps that connect us with many strangers, sharing knowledge, hobbies, recipe, travel experiences and even coffee buddies. The positive aura from the new network that we gained from social are (sometimes) overwhelmed. Some comments are meant to banter in a positive way, some sounds almost bickering, some posts that show us are further talented than the gossip mongers will be labelled as narcissist. Some posts with haute-couture cladded at product launching events will hit some perverts' bottom bone goes harder and nastier.
Questions are paramount in our mind. We started to questions ourself ..
1) Early compliment with likes, comments on posts and photoes - we can imagine their attitude on how they reacted on posts.
- some are nosy and noisy
- some will provoke and spoil our day even though our post is to generate positivity. We can't stop these people
2) Photoes privacy - will our educative photo will be used on their social media without any credit to us. Will our photoes will be photo-imposed by the small-brainy.
When it comes to educative/informative non-photoes posting on Facebook or on twitter, will our talent/knowledge get the credits?
I love to write, I love to share my recipes, my knowledge/technique on baking, scientific/health info but then sometimes it gets too much. there are times where i just dont feel like sharing... not that i dont want to but time is not on my side .. sharing is indeed caring but when credit is not given where it is due... it can really make one decide to just keep it simple and post pics in IG or twitter instead. Complied to all means in my life, I earned my knowledge from cooking not from Internet, I can say 80% of my cooking, baking knowledge I harvested from my mak, my uwan, books, chef wan for Malay cookings, Gordon Ramsay for baking. I am from that senza-Internet era.

Turmeric (kunyit, ibu kunyit, curcuma longa.
Turmeric...I had written down about this topic years ago. But instead of editing it, I prefer to script down this valuable herbs that had grown in Malaysia and other places in Asia.
Once tasting or browsing the Malay cuisine, one may seen the yellow color in many of the soup and curries. Turmeric are added to these foods in pure root form that has been pounded or sadly from a 'processed turmeric' in a powder form.
Connecting the link between mother (ibu in Malay language), as the source of nurturing and the rainforest as a source of life, some plants in Malay medicine have had the word ibu incorporated into their names. Hence, appropriately enough, turmeric's main rhizome is more often referred to as ibu kunyit. This means that herbs are highly demanded/well-used/highly prized in post natal,skin and digestive health, is one such example.
Echoing the Malay mother's faith in the range of ibu kunyit's healing properties, turmeric is also used in many Ayurvedic, traditional Chinese medicinal and allopathic remedies.
The US national institutes of health currently has 4 clinical trials in progress studying the effects of curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric. It is believed tht it may have real benefits in the treatment of pancreatic and colorectal cancer, multiple myeloma and even Alzheimer's disease.
In traditional Malay home healing, the rhizome is the main part used, although the leaves are sometimes used to flavor and enhance the aroma in cooking. The flowers are normally eaten raw as ulam (salad - without any dressing), and are believed to cleanse the blood. The young rhizomes are also eaten raw as a postpartum protective treatment.
Mixed with lime, the rhizome is topically applied to treat bruises, sprains, wounds and leech bites while a decoction is taken for treating diarrhea, dysentery, flatulence, dyspepsia, colic, jaundice and amenorrhea.
It is also drunk to kill worms in the stomach and has found it's way into beauty care as dilapatory.
Science has now shown that turmeric contains up to 5 percent essential oil and about 3 percent curcumin. The essential oil has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, while petroleum ether extract of turmeric possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-fertility properties. Various scientific studies on curcumin, a polyphenol extracted from turmeric, have revealed anti bacterial, anti-protozoan, anti viral, anti-fibrotic, hypolipemic, hypochlesteremic, hypoglycemic, anti-coagulant, anti-oxidant, anti tumor and anti carcinogenic properties. Ar-turmerone (studied by the Arabs or Spanish maybe ; due to the 'Ar' as the preliminary name) another extract from the rhizomes, possesses anti-venom activity.
Curcumin is currently available in pure form and it is expected to be developed into a novel in the neat future.
Turmeric, is also Ayurvedic wonder rhizome found in countless herbal healing recipes, finds its way into many concoctions for both children an adults. For diarrhea, a teaspoonful of fresh turmeric is mixed with the juice extracted from the holy basil plant ( ocimum tenuiflorum ) and given once every four hours until symptoms clear up.
