We all say some funny things

"Yogi's been an inspiration to me--not only because of his baseball skills, but of course for the enduring mark he left on the English language. Some of the press corps even think he might be my speechwriter." - on Yogi Berra, George W. Bush, 43rd President of the United States

Humor and self awareness are key components to a good relationship builder. We all make mistakes, say something wrong, we do not all have a telepromter organizing our thoughts for us. We have to think on the fly and be ready for curve ball. Be aware of your situation and who you are speaking to. Adjust your mannerisms, yor speech, your dialog to fit their personality. But still, you will say some stupid things. It happens. Learn to laugh at yourself and not to take it all too serious. You will be better off and you will appear more human. More real. More genuine. People like people who make an occasional flub in their speech, it is endearing. Just move on and forget about it with a smile on your face and a laugh!
