We should choose our words wisely. A patient ear to hear our story, a few cocktails in our system, and the “off the record” conversation takes over. We pour out our hearts and our minds.
News flash — nothing is really ever off the record. Ask Phil Mickelson. All the back tracking and apologies in the world can’t undo the damage of his words, that sounded good at the time.
If we are unwilling to make a statement, on the record, certainly don’t make it off the record. Trust me. Nothing good ever comes out of it. And that is for the record.
