A Princesses Guide to Honesty

There’s honesty and then there’s the honesty that people want to hear. I believe that a princess should always tell the truth, but how does one make the truth palatable? For instance, when the corporate muckety-mucks say, “We really want to hear what you think”, do they really mean that they want to hear what I think? Or do they mean, “We really want you to tell us what we think you think?” I think the latter!

So, the question really becomes how does the princess tell them the truth and yet still tell them what they think I think? My guess is it is all in carefully choosing my words. Now that is not always something that I am known for doing well! It may be time for the Princess to expand her vocabulary a bit. Is it possible to always find a positive way to say a negative thing? This could be a fun exercise!

I think: Don’t punish people for not wanting to do something that is no fun…

I say: Can we try rewarding people for accepting challenging assignments?

This could work! What do ya think? It may take a little practice!

The Princess Is So Tired Today

Interesting question: Does the princess ever get a day off? I’m very tired today. Maybe even too tired to maintain my royal decorum! Is it possible that I can maybe give the Princess just one day off? She’s been very very good lately!

Another question: Should being positive and nice really be such hard work? Shouldn’t it just come naturally to a Princess? Maybe I haven’t given the Princess enough time. I have to believe at some point it will just be second nature to act “royally”.

I have faith! The day will come…but for today, maybe just one day off…
