题目内容
We've all been blamed (责备) wrongly sometimes in our lives. How do we deal with it? Not with anger, hurt and tears, but in a collected way…
●If you are wrongly blamed, let others know of the true state of things at once. Do it calmly and clearly — if you lose your temper, people will stop listening or become defensive.
●If you don't find a sympathetic ear, find a person who will hear you out — a teacher, a parent, a friend, or a brother or sister who believes in you.
●If you've been in trouble before, it may be easy for people to doubt you. So win your respect back in their eyes by behaving with honesty.
●If what you are blamed for is something unimportant, sometimes it's better to smile it off.
●If you've been blamed for something serious, it's important to put your side of the story forward quickly and truthfully.
Just remember:
▲Respect your friends' secret if you don't want to be wrongly blamed for making them known.
▲Don't blame others without first getting proof of their wrong doing.
▲Putting the blame on someone else for what you have done wrong is weakness. Admit your mistake quickly.
▲If someone else is wrongly blamed, stand up for that person.
▲Don't pass the responsibility to others.
