For your popularity (ranking ) do you compromise with your stand?

I am like you GardenGerty! I don't try to stir the pot so to speak, but if you ask for my opinion, I am going to give my honest opinion. I think some people don't think before they give their opinion. I believe it is all in the delivery. You can disagree with someone and still be polite and not rude about it. And there are some people that even though they say they want you HONEST opinion, they really don't want you to disagree with them. My friends and family know that if they ask for my opinion, I am going to give it to them.

I like your way of giving your opinion. :)

Well said..... I am who am I. If we want to show other than what we are then it is pretension. And pretentious is one kind of cheating. When we pretend just to please other, then it is cheating no only other but it is cheating to ourselves. So it is the politeness to express what we are thinking. Those people are noble who are transparent. They never hide their feelings. In my mylot too it is obvious that we have many more disagreement with many people. Disagreement is not violation. And I find hard why people think that disagreement many hart other people. What I think is not necessarily thought by other people. Man a man man a mind. But our important should be putted on the expression. We need to be careful that in expression of disagreement no where manner less behavior is espressed by us.

I am not directly says about mylot. Though my lot is nothing difference but popularity normally depend on how much we please other. Yes it is best for us our activities should be free from affection. To be impartial it is needed for us to keep our feeling free from the thought what other people think on our activities.

Oh...I didn't notice that he was reffering to everyday life. Since he mention ranking and not just popularity....If he was, then I guess I get it wrong. Anyway,..my answer will be No, I don't want to be popular by doing things I don't like.

Here I refereed towards ranking of popularity. And is mylot too it is not irrelevant. Because ranking is increased when people mark positively. And normally positive marking comes when other people like us.

Friendship is based on pointless and modesty. I am your friend so I need to be agreed with you in any matter is not correct. We remain be friend having different opinion on some particular matter. We can exchange our views. We can listen why some other friends have other opinion. But in every stem of expressing ourselves we need to be polite. Rudeness and anger is barrier in between friendship but different opinion is not.

In participation to any discussion we should put our attention on the matter of fact. If we diverted our attention toward other factor, then it effect on the matter. To keep us impartial it is important to keep our mind free from what other thinks on us. And we need to be honest and modesty is very important when we interact with other. What we select and what other is avoided by us is dependable on our interest. And it is best for us to select those topic which are in our interest and have some knowledge on the matter. We are in discussion as we have some viewpoint on the topic. We need not compromise with our viewpoint at the time of participation in any discussion.

It is the personality to stand on one's believe.... simultaneously we should have the tolerances to listen other view point.

Yes correctness is more important than the popularity. Truth is little bitter ar first look. But the impact is very good. Constructive criticism is little bitter but very helpful for us.

We may have some wrong idea. But when our wrong is corrected then we have to leave our opinion. It is not compromise. It is improvement to our knowledge. That is the benefit of discussion. But only to please other, if we agree with such matter which are not agreeable that is compromise. And that is unhealthy approach. In this context I want to say that disagreement is not dishonor. Even when we are in sell promotion actually we are not flattering. We are describing the quality of a product. That is also informative. We help our customer providing necessary information about the product. In discussion if any participant remain firm with proper reason then discussion gone more interesting. And the points placed in support of their opinion by both sides are very informative. And from such discussion we can gather sufficient knowledge.

You are right that it is almost impossible to please everyone at a time. So rather than please other we need to try to do the right thing.

Criticism enforce us to do better. We the people are committing wrong. And normally no people notices his wrong. And many time people commits wrong but can't guess that he is committing wrong. In such situation criticism is eye opener for us. So we need to be tolerant to our critics.

You are correct to some extent. We the people are affected with emotion. So we sometime fail to keep ourselves firm on our stand, because this will effect in our relation. And to please other we stray away from our stand.
