The well-known actor Matthew McConaughey recently demonstrated to us all how to manage a stressful situation with elegance. She chose to ask talk show presenter Joy Behar a contentious political issue during their interview. McConaughey opted for tact and respect rather biting the bait and getting into a furious argument.
With a deft refusal to respond, McConaughey reminded us all how important it is to have civil conversations and look for common ground. Although talking politics in public is difficult, McConaughey’s elegant diversion made an effect on the audience. It was a potent reminder of how important politeness is in all kinds of communication.
We can all take a cue from McConaughey’s strategy in a world full with contentious discussions and heated arguments. Let’s pause to admire his grace and composure in the face of a difficult circumstance. I look forward to having future talks that are more substantive and courteous.
Watch the video below to witness the interview for yourself:
Joke of the day is the moment of relaxation you need to break the routine.
“Yesterday, I went to a hotel with my mistress, and at the entrance, I see my father-in-law’s car parked.
I lost all desire and, of course, if he saw me, I would have problems.
I explained to my mistress that today was impossible, and she left upset.
Out of frustration, I broke both mirrors and went home. The next day, I went to see him and laugh at the fact that his car had no mirrors. He was very upset, and I asked him:
What’s wrong with you? You seem upset.
How the hell wouldn’t I be? Yesterday, I lent your wife the car, and she brought it back without mirrors.”
Next joke
Dad, I want to get married!
First, apologize!
But why?
Just apologize!
What for? What did I do?
You need to apologize!
But why???
Apologize, I said!
Please, just give me a reason!!!
First, apologize.
Okay, dad… I’m sorry!
Perfect, now you’re ready! Your training is over. When you learn to apologize for no reason, then you can get married!
