As a matter of fact, in the real life situations, the more tactful we are, the better the outcome of our efforts. Though it does matter in personal life, its importance in social and professional life increases manifold. Every day, we meet and interact with scores of people, we exchange ideas and other things and often expect direct or indirect favour from them for winning at some task. How far we are able to get their favour or support depends on how tactfully we deal with them.
A shopkeeper who deals with the customers tactfully is often able to increase the number of his regular customers.An administrator who is tactful is usually able to get the required support of the public. A boss who is tactful can get a work properly done even by the staff who has a shirking attitude or an escaping tendency. An officer responsible for maintaining law and order may be more successful by tactfully handling an irate mob and, thereby, preventing a bad condition from getting worse. In fact, tactfulness pays in normal times and pays more when the condition is not favourable.
There may be situations when we have to be audacious but even in audacity, there should be tactfulness because lack of tactfulness may sometimes cause huge loss.For example, the annoyed or angry crowd may turn violent if not dealt with tactfully and the result may be shocking. To quote Jean Cocteau, "Tact in audacity is knowing how far you can go without going too far."
So, all in all, it may be said that we can make our life more successful and meaningful by being tactful. What do you say ? 😊😊
