Prudent or weak character

• April 28, 2024

If any recommendation we have received from the childhood , is to become a monument to the prudence and do not open your mouth, or act unless you are sure that what you have to express fully complies with all the protocols of a good education .

However, what happens when in honor of her we have to endure the impertinences and blunders of other people who perhaps, with the best intention, do but bother us? We can say everything without losing the style. In your case, do you do it or do you prefer to endure until the end? I invite you to discover it with this test !

1.- You have just undergone surgery to improve your health and your partner decides to take care of you in the hospital, only that he is very hot and it occurs to him to turn on the air conditioning in the room, you:

a) You ask him politely to turn it off, since you are still under the effect of anesthesia and you are very cold.
b) You take out strength of weakness and demand that he remove it immediately, who has to be comfortable is you and not him.
c) You use everything you have nearby to shelter yourself and suffer the cold in silence. Poor! You think you have no right to inconvenience him.

2.- You are overworked, you have even taken it home and suddenly your best friend comes to tell you about her adventures. Listening to it implies having to stay awake to finish your work, what do you do?

a) You explain your situation and offer to meet the next day to talk, until you commit to prepare the cake that you like so much.
b) You do not even invite her to go through the interphone, you tell her that you can not attend her and that you call her later.
c) You turn off the computer and pay attention to it, yes, you drink a lot of coffee because you will need to be alert all night.

3.- There is a special celebration in your family and you will be in charge of organizing the celebration; Without prior notice, your sister arrives with a guest who requires special attention for her health condition, and who you did not have contemplated, how do you respond?

a) I talk to her and I clearly define how we will both attend to ensure that she will feel comfortable at the meeting.
b) You warn her that since she is your guest, she takes charge and that you hope it does not represent a problem for others.
c) You think that if you are the hostess it is up to you to take charge of everything and of course, you stay away because everything goes well, at the expense of your tranquility.

4.- You are in a meeting of friends and invite your partner, suddenly, one of the attendees begins to joke about a love relationship that you had before, you:

a) You tell him that your comment seems out of place and that you would appreciate it if he did not touch the subject again.
b) Turn to look at him angrily and warn him that if he does not close his big mouth you will have to talk about things that may not be as fun.
c) Take your partner's hand, smile shyly and hold each of their jokes without replying.

5.- Your boss again! You already had your holidays planned and it occurred to you that nobody better than you to stay in front of the office while he does go out with his family, what do you do?

a) You show them your reservations and show them that it is not possible to change them, so you suggest the name of someone who can take charge without any problem.
b) Missing more! Someone has to change their vacations and it's not you, so you make it clear to them that they will have to make do with it in another way and that they do not count on you.
c) With all the frustration of the world you call to cancel your trip and ask for a meeting to know everything you will have to do in your absence.

Answers

Majority of A : You have a very clear vision of what prudence is, you know how to handle very well even the most compromising situations, but you do not get into conflicts either. If someone can learn the art of being prudent, it is undoubtedly you, because you assert your rights while you respect and place others in the right place. Congratulations!
 

Most B : To you the phrase would be perfect: "imprudent calls reckless". While it is true that you have to deal with complicated situations, it is also true that you stay on the defensive and answer the same or worse than the one who makes the mistake. It is necessary that you learn to make good use of words and that you control your actions, since instead of appearing to defend your well-being, what you do is try to show who is leading the way. Relax and remember that it is not necessary to lose the style to avoid abuse.

Majority of C : Awake! It would not be bad for you to stop confusing prudence with weakness of character, you do not have to accept all the tests that are put in front of you, you must also learn to say no and expose what bothers you or what you are not agreement, that's part of making you respect, but nobody will do it if you do not take the first step yourself. What if you dare ?, and the next time something is not right for you, say it clearly and with respect, you will see that life changes you.
