Chapter 3 say thirty minutes

You are late for an appointment and will be late by about fifteen minutes. Then, when you call to inform the other party, it is better to say: "I may be thirty minutes late." If you honestly say: "I will be fifteen minutes late.", Then, even if you are only fourteen minutes late, the other party will feel that they have been waiting for you for a long time.However, if you said it was thirty minutes, but it was only fifteen minutes late, he would think you were early and would be very happy to see you.You were already fifteen minutes early, how could he have the nerve to blame you?

You were supposed to arrive in thirty minutes, but you arrived in fifteen minutes, which shows how much you value this appointment.If he blames you, he is being unreasonable.The only risk you have to take is that when the other party hears you saying that you will be 30 minutes late on the other end of the phone, he may say dissatisfied: "Another 30 minutes?" Don't expect too much from the other party, and don't promise anything.When you let him down, but quickly give him a surprise, in this way, he will be convinced. Even if you don't, try to make him feel that you are trying not to disappoint him.

So instead of saying, "I will always love you," smart people say, "I don't know if I can, but I'll try." Then, even if he later changes his mind, you'll forgive him because you believe he did his best.If he starts by saying he will always love you and then fails to do so, you'll think he's not trying at all.
