Filed under: This Week in the World by merylrunion |

Last week I posted a new article about e-mailing, and since then I haven’t had to look any farther than my sent box for examples of bad emails. I wrote another article on the same subject this week, so maybe I’ll apply my own knowledge. Here are this week’s new articles:

Dos and Don’ts of E-mailing; http://www.speakstrong.com/dosanddon’tsofe-mailing.html
How to Stop Passive Aggressive Behavior in the Workplace: http://www.speakstrong.com/howtostoppassiveaggressivebehavior.html
How to Tell Someone They Smell Bad at Work: http://www.speakstrong.com/howtotellsometheysmellbad.html
Be sure to read the reader comments on previous artcles this week. (Scroll down.)

Jessica Lynch, Army PFC and former POW, testified before Congress this week about the misrepresention of her ordeal by the military and the media. She claimed that there was no reason to make her a legend when the real heroics of her fellow citizens that day were legendary. She also observed that “The truth is always more heroic than hype.” She wasn’t the hero the media made her out to be – instead she was – and is – a different kind of hero. A champion of truth.

For the record, the information about what actually happened was available at the time, but received very little press in the US.
