Tips
on
how
to
better
voice
your
opinion
Whatever
the
motive
,
if
you
are
fearful
of
expressing
your
opinion
,
then
making
the
most
of
opportunities
at
work
and
in
your
personal
life
will
be
more
difficult
.
Let's
look
at
some
advice
that
can
help
.
No
one
pretends
it's
easy
.
Finding
yourself
in
a
situation
where
you
have
to
decide
,
on
the
spur
of
the
moment
,
whether
to
stand
up
or
keep
quiet
.
It
may
be
when
you
have
a
gut
feeling
that
on
this
issue
your
boss
is
wrong
,
everyone
around
the
table
knows
it
,
but
they
are
all
looking
at
their
hands
,
afraid
to
make
a
challenge
,
should
you
?
On
the
other
hand
,
you
might
be
in
a
bar
with
a
group
of
friends
,
when
one
of
them
makes
a
racist
remark
.
Do
you
stand
up
for
your
principles
or
do
you
keep
quiet
because
you
don't
want
to
ruin
a
good
evening
?
More
often
than
not
,
we
sometimes
say
too
little
,
other
times
we
say
too
much
.
Authors
Mikael
Krogerus
and
Roman
Tschäppeler
have
written
a
book
called
The
communication
book
,
which
discusses
some
of
the
things
you
should
consider
in
these
situations
.
It
might
also
help
you
to
get
your
point
across
without
.
Interested
?
Then
read
on
.
Since
a
is
seldom
enough
,
the
first
thing
to
do
is
to
look
around
the
group
for
an
,
someone
you
think
will
support
you
.
A
German
social
scientist
went
so
far
as
to
conclude
after
many
experiments
that
there
is
a
direct
link
between
our
to
speak
out
and
our
concern
that
the
opinion
of
the
majority
is
different
from
our
own
.
In
other
words
,
the
fear
of
speaking
out
is
not
governed
by
whether
we
think
our
opinion
is
wrong
.
Rather
,
it
is
controlled
by
the
fear
of
being
alone
or
isolated
in
that
view
.
The
scientist
called
this
sensation
'the
spiral
of
silence'
.
To
overcome
this
'spiral
of
silence'
someone
needs
to
speak
out
.
At
first
,
this
might
be
a
mild
or
differing
view
but
having
opened
the
door
,
others
will
most
likely
follow
your
lead
.
If
your
concern
is
not
about
keeping
silent
,
but
rather
about
how
much
to
talk
,
then
remember
the
old
,
"
We
have
two
ears
,
but
only
one
mouth
.
"
Listening
is
far
more
important
than
talking
.
One
contemporary
philosopher
suggested
that
a
good
training
for
anyone
tempted
to
talk
too
much
would
be
to
listen
to
another
voicing
their
opinion
for
at
least
one
hour
,
without
interrupting
once
.
The
third
piece
of
advice
is
,
once
you
have
decided
to
speak
up
,
keep
it
brief
and
to
the
point
.
Don't
risk
repeating
the
same
point
over
and
over
again
.
Say
what
you
want
and
then
sit
down
.
Wait
for
your
allies
,
if
any
,
to
have
their
say
.
The
great
American
novelist
Ernest
Hemingway
,
once
claimed
over
dinner
with
friends
that
he
could
write
a
novel
in
just
six
words
.
His
friends
laughed
and
expressed
their
.
This
is
what
he
wrote
:
"
For
sale
:
baby
shoes
,
never
worn
.
"
You
can
almost
touch
the
in
that
simple
choice
of
six
words
and
the
rest
is
left
to
your
imagination
.
You
don't
need
to
be
a
great
or
a
hero
to
voice
your
opinion
.
Listen
carefully
to
what
is
being
said
,
pick
your
words
carefully
in
the
hope
of
finding
an
ally
,
and
keep
it
short
.
