When someone is using negative speech, do not ruin your own speech.

About This Quote

When someone is using negative speech, do not ruin your own speech. How can you explain something to someone if you are using negative speech? Negative speeches are the most unnatural of the three forms of speech. If you are talking to someone who is using negative speech, simply ignore it. If they continue, show them an example of positive speech. Their behavior will then change.
