Ctrl+ Alt+ Del : Don’t you wish this could be applied to Life? Restart, reboot, reopen, refresh.
Format: your thoughts and dreams. Know what is worth ‘zooming in’ and what should be ‘zoomed out’. What should be in bold font and what should be in ‘small case.’
Edit : Wish this could be applicable to spoken words. That slip of tongue, the insult, the insinuation, the accusation, the expletive – all of which will can haunt you later on and sear you with the wistful “If only…”.
Wish spoken words could be curbed, modified, softened, sweetened before they burst out.
There is a reason why taste buds are placed anatomically. Sweet at the tip, salty just behind it for caution, while bitter is stationed way at the back.
Save: Wish this could be applied to memories, moments, relations, people, friends, parents.
What else do you wish to apply from a keyboard to your life?
Excellent thoughts Sweety. However, I think life would be a lot less interesting if we could do those things. 🙂

Hello Ernesto,
Hmm, some things are good spontaneous. Some words and thoughts aren’t. The crux is to know the difference between the two.
I’ve devised a way to avoid blurting out words that I may regret later. I try out variations of a conversation in my mind, especially if I anticipate a skirmish or debate with a colleague.
It gives me the satisfaction of venting out my anger, then allowing it to cool off and say only the edited, modulated version.
Wish I could do it on a permanent basis, but it has reduced my verbal outbursts.

Hello Alok,
Cannot do anything about what?
Maybe we can ruminate over a thought before saying it aloud – that is almost like an auto-editing to avoid future misunderstandings and unpleasantness.

On the key board I will type in bold letters and large font – “Be in the present moment”!

I did rap on ur gates. Still waiting for the gates to open. Is there an ‘Open Sesame’ password for it? I sent a request long ago. Could you recheck on your website?

It is absolutely necessary to check what we speak always. Not only with your friends’ circle but also with your close relatives. If we remain casual in our discourses in family circle, then, one day that would become our habit and habits die hard. These will reveal our true self.

Yes, but not at the cost of spontaneity. I mean, at least with friends and family, one should be allowed to express emotions freely. Yet, decorum, language and respect has to be maintained.
With strangers, all of the above plus formality is essential.
Thank you for sharing your opinion here.

Spontaneity is required but if we are matured to differentiate which comes through practice then sure enough we can be successful both at home and out of home. My experience with public speaking is that we can transform failure into success with our own sincere thoughts and dealings.No formalities please even with strangers!
Thanks

Yes, sincere thoughts are a pre-requisite. But to translate thoughts into proper words is a huge challenge. Like you said, practice and practice and practice.
Beyond words, even the tone and body language are key players. Used optimally, they can also prevent misunderstandings arising from an ill-used word. Simultaneously, a lazy, uninterested body language can kill the sincerest words. Ultimately, I guess a perfect mixture of all factors has to be practiced to make it a skill.

Tone and body language of an individual are important but a person who is matured enough to know these signs can see through the person’s state of mind and decide which way to deal with that person and also to understand that state of mind of that individual is not due to us. If it is not, then we can take recourse to course correction of that that person. Or alternatively, if that person is of less interest to us then we can leave him/her to the mercies of a great leveler called TIME FACTOR as everything gets adjusted with time.
