There are so many people that are just so full of themselves. They think they're too smart, too handsome or beautiful, in other words they think they're perfect. I find it difficult to deal with this kind of people. I have a student who's like this and no matter how I try to correct him he makes the same again and again because he thinks that he's right. So how would you tell this person without offending him at all?

You are totally right there, there are so many people out there that are that way, full of themselves.

Drama is where all the learning takes place. If we were all walking on eggshells, what would ever get learned. Be up front, honest, and kind. The rest will work itself out.

Thanks for the comment. I really want to follow what you suggest but I have to consider that person's culture first.

I may not be good at it but I prefer to tell frankly. I am the kind of person who can afford to tell someone the real truth no matter how painful it may be to them. I am just being honest.

Yeah but I don't want to offend anybody just because I'm being too honest and I don't want to give them a misconception that I'm putting them down because I'm high and mighty.

it seems time will do the transformation ... as a young person becomes an "observer" ... and finally realize that we are all meant to be instruments of giving and of kindness ... That all our greatness is meant to be for the benefit of people around us ... That doing good is, in the final analysis, not an option but rather it is the only way to live a successful life ... What do you think ?
