Today’s Monday Mindset: Drop Your Sarcasm
A few weeks ago, somebody made a sarcastic comment to me, and at first I laughed.
But later on it kind of hurt a bit because I was left wondering, is it actually true?
Do they actually feel that way, or were they just making a comment?
And that’s the problem with sarcasm.
People never actually know if there’s a hint of truth behind that comment or that dig.
So here’s my recommendation.
Drop your sarcasm.
A mentor of mine called sarcasm, the lowest form of humor.
See if you can find better ways to get a laugh without it being at somebody else’s expense…
…because most sarcasm is somebody else’s expense.
And if you’re a leader of others, a coach, a parent, a teacher, you definitely want to avoid sarcasm with those who are under your leadership.
Drop your sarcasm.
That’s my challenge, and that’s your Monday Mindset.
