Make Time Stand Still
edited by Alexander Becker
When I say
I make time stand still for you
-- and I will -- it's not intended to be romantic in any way -- not necessarily though -- instead, it's a matter of showing basic respect to you.Make time stand still in any conversation. It is mere politeness to take some time, enough time.
Let's focus on the bad news as the candidate which will benefit the most from a concept such as slow cheerfulness.
Even and especially a No can be communicated with adequate time and the fact that you're in a hurry is no valid reason to rush that often painful No. Take your time and make mine stand still for as long as it takes.
Make a negative answer just as much a display of your excellence as the action you cannot deliver. Stand behind your No and communicate it cheerfully.
Ever so slow and ever so cheerfully.
