Answer honestly

Ask a question, answer question!

Is anyone else amazed at people who live off of deflecting the question? I had this conversation with my brother in a different way; he is my older brother, always wanting to give me great advice. Because of my brothers concerned for the right answer, it seemed it was a waste of time because he searched for the right answer when there wasn't one.

What I mean by this: When I asked my brother questions, it's usually just for his opinion, unfortunately based on his concerns of getting the right answer his opinion got lost in most cases.

 I often wonder why questions sometimes don't get answered, 99.9% of the time the reason is because they are afraid of the question.

Deflecting the question, it's a very simple concept with terrible reasoning:

 Imagine someone asking you, hey what year was this home built, and how big is it again? When you answer back, are you sure you have enough money to put down on this house, and are you sure you're qualified to buy this home. Oh and don't forget you don't answer the question!

I hope people get a better understanding of deflecting questions, how silly it is, and how unfortunate it is people choose to deflect questions versus answer honestly………

So please the right thing to do! Don't deflect, answer honestly……..

I agree. As long as you keep skirting the answers you cannot finish the process, or you finish without disclosure and it comes back to bite you. Great photo and blog. There is no good deal without full honesty!

hi Diane-hope things are great, thank you so much for reading and making such a great comment!

I always try to recognize the people that choose this path, try not to associate myself with them if the pattern continues.... You have to stay positive and true no matter what curves or roadblocks are on the road of your Path.....

Hello Jon and why can't people just answer the question? And why can't people tell the truth? And why do people answer a question with a question?

You joined AR in Feb 2011 and in VB's eyes this is borderline "Newbie" ... I looked through your groups and discovered you do not belong to any of VB's 30+ groups at AR. Here is a link below, please take a look and join as many as you find fitting, joining AR in Jan 2008 VB has many Associates and friends ...

The "KING" of Groups at the Activerain Network ...

VB ;o)

PS - A member re-posted one of your blogs that I featured at my last post ... ;o)
