The Dog who got hit




Years ago an old wise man shared with me a fabulous proverb I have lived by to this day. He told me, "If you throw a rock towards a pack of dogs, the one that yelps is the one that got hit." What he was trying to say is that when someone confronts another about a questionable subject and the person instantly jumps to defend him self, then he usually is guilty. So many people who are 24/7 arguing against every accusation are usually guilty. Those who scream all the time of their innocence are the dog who got hit. If you are not guilty of what you are accused of, why engage in an argument? If that is their opinion, why invest so much energy trying to correct their wrong? Live life like you play chess. If you are attacked, don't invest your energy defending yourself if you are innocent, continue play your game. Stay on the offensive towards your goals and plans to succeed. Now if it is your family that is accusing you, then you have another issue to deal with (smile). That’s for another blog.
