Stop pointing out the things about people's physical appearances if they cannot fix it in 10 seconds.

If there is one talent that I think almost everybody have, maybe it is the expertise in minding other people's lives.

Admit or not, we are all guilty with this. At some point of our lives-if not all the time, we all have experience being a judger. I don't know, but I think it is already our innate.

We love magnifying the the imperfections, impurities and flaws of every people we see. May it be our friends, family or enemy. Nothing and no one can escape from the eyes of judgmental people and medler.

However, some people also stop doing this things because of some realizations and they just got tired of this attitude. But there are still type of people who never gets tired of meddling and minding other people's lives and appearances. It feels like they can't live without doing it.

Whenever you see someone you know and haven't been in touch for years, what was your usual greetings to them? What were the first thing that comes out from your mouth? Is it good? Does it encourage them? Does it speak life? Or not?

We have this very famous qoute that says, "if you have nothing nice to say, just shut the f*ck up."

________________________

Rules where created to maintain the harmony within a society or even just in a classroom. Rules plays a vital role in the lives of human being. Do you know that just like in an orgnaization, we also have rule to consider in the way we speak or utter words?

I am not pertaining to the subject verb agreement, grammars or etcetera. I am talking about the 10 seconds rule.

What is it?

  • Before you utter or point out something about people's appearance. Think about it first if they can fix it within ten seconds. And if not, then just leave it that way and never mention it anymore.

Importance

  • There's a lot of people who exeperience real struggle in their physical aspects every single day. May it be to their skin, size and body shapes. We have no idea how much they tried and fight their ownselves just to get up from the bed because of very low self-esteem. That's why, always think million times before you say something about someone's appearance. Make sure that your tongue is properly connected to your brain.

  • If the thing that you are going to point out cannot be fix in ten seconds, then I am 100 percent sure that they know it already. And you don't need to remind them about it over and over again.

EXAMPLE

If you were talking to someone and you saw a morning glory in the corner of their eyes (which is basically natural), then you can tell them about it since it can be fix within ten seconds.

But if you were talking to someone and she has pimples in her face. Better not mention it any longer since you cannot fix it within 10 seconds.

Maybe, just maybe, it will offend them or it was their insecurity that'll be triggered because of you.

Ayyy gusto ko ang 10 seconds rule na yan. Fair enough if you can't do something to fix it then shut up nlng talaga. Ako hindi masyado mapuna kaso sa work I can't stop a colleague from judging someone. Minsan nkakairita na rin pakinggan :(

'Rules where created to maintain the harmony within a society or even just in a classroom' everything that needs to be spoken or head must have gone through processing because they can never be undone. Just stay out of the person's business and that will do. The slightest ever mistake to utter a bad statement can be costly.

Nevermind of other's people think... It is more relevant if you mind your own business than be pressured of what others perception about you. Otherwise, you don't ask from them to feed you.. don't try to please everyone.. just focus on your way straight.. Eliminate those insecurities and learn to love them.. hahahah

Hello Miss Sequoia. I think this article is destined for me to read. I too am guilty of judging other people. That was when the time I haven't undergone some realizations and was so immature to laugh about the differences of other people.

I have walked out from that path a long time ago. I appreciated and respect others. I have lived freely and lightly.

Just recently, my classmate in high school came back from Manila. I was so happy to see her again but it melted right away, when she said, "What happen to you? You're so fat! You look ugly now that you're fat haha. Please do exercise." I was just called ugly for being fat. Little did she know that she called fat and ugly has PCOS. People really could be scum for being insensitive and with all their tactlessness. This is what I get from getting out of the judgmental era.

Sa true. Kapag ako kasi bago ko punahin yung mali, mistakes, or mga napapansin ko isang tao, pinagiisipan ko muna talaga ng mabuti if sasabihin ko ba o hindi..minsan nag aalinlangan pa nga ako baka kasi mamaya ako mapasama diba? Yung pag nagmamabuting loob kalang sana, pero iisipin ng iba na namamahiya ako ganon. If ever naman nakakahiya or baka mapahiya yung tao mas pipiliin ko nalang din na ibulong sakanila para hindi mapansin ng iba ganon.

Pero kapag sila naman may napansin sakin sige lang sila ng sige. Pupunahin nila lahat lahat at gagawin talaga lahat mapahiya or mahila lang ako pababa. 🙂

I should apply this 10 second rule and inform others about this too to correct unwanted behavior. We should learn what, and when to comment or give our opinions. We don't know what might be the impact of it to others.

True madam. This is so timely and relevant. Medjo natawa ako sa morning glory pero totoo yun, kung di maayos agad2, wag mo ng sabihin. Di ka rin naman perfect eh at tsaka before mo nasabi yan, alam na nila sa sarili nila. Pero minsan mahirap din magsabi eh. I remember one of my classmates may B.O talaga sya as in mabaho talaga pero di ko masabi kasi baka nga ikasama ng loob nya.

It is better to remain silent before offending others for things that they are not to blame for having in their body. People have this attitude of criticizing those who are with small details in their bodies and we do not see the great defect that we have in our mind.

Don't pressure yourself of thinking about others view. Especially those people who never knew you well. Otherwise, you don't ask from them to feed you.. don't try to please everyone.. just focus on your way straight.. Eliminate those insecurities and learn to love them.. learn to live according to your purpose not others thing.It is more relevant if you mind your own business than be pressured of what others perception about you.

Nabasa ko na tong 10 seconds rule sa fb and people should know about this. Kung di naman kaya ayusin sa loob ng 10 seconds wag nalang sana ipoint out. Kung maraming pimple yung isang tao pabayaan nalang sana nila kase kapag pinansin pa nila and tell the person about her pimples ehh nagiging dahilan lang ng pagbaba ng self-esteem niya.
