Article: Sometimes being honest means being silent. You may find an honest expression of your desire for peace (i.e., remaining silent) outweighs the desire to speak your mind. People feel compelled to express their strong opinions. Sometimes people do so to provoke a debate or change someone else's mind. This usually leads to a confrontation and unavoidable hurt feelings. They may give you the whole story or they may express they do not want to discuss it. Pay attention to their reaction and what they say. This will help you gauge how they will receive even your honest opinion. If they decide not to discuss the issue, honor their wish. Perhaps it is the wrong time or place. Try asking again later. If they repeatedly rebuff you, you may need to express your opinion unsolicited or avoid it altogether. Try to understand what your opinion is based on. Then try to understand what their opinion is based on. Some disagreements are based on fundamental political, religious, and moral beliefs. Knowing those bases you can be respectful of the opinion and avoid hurt feelings. Be patient, kind, and attentive throughout their story. This shows you respect them and are genuinely interested in them. If you want to avoid hurting feelings, you must allow for the possibility that they are right and you are wrong. You can say "I've thought that..." instead of "You are wrong." If the discussion is turning heated, stop. Chances are that you are about to hurt their feelings if you haven't already. Let them know you respect and value them.  Apologize if you accidentally said something that hurt their feelings. Apologies are a signal that your respect the other person.Doing this early you can move on easily. Wait too late and the hurt may take much longer to repair. Do not overuse apologies. Saying "I'm sorry" too much--especially when you did nothing wrong--can lower the value of an apology. The goal is to identify when you've done something wrong and be sincere about your apology. This gives you an opportunity to end the difference of opinion on a positive note. Be sure to comment that you understand where they are coming from and hope they understand your perspective too.

Article: Only the player or team that served has the chance to win a point for that round. The other player or team is just trying to prevent the server from winning a point. For example, if you’re the receiver for a round and the server fails to receive the ball when you hit it to them, no one would get a point. Then it would be your turn to serve, and you’d have a chance to score a point. You can only win 1 point at a time in paddleball. Whenever the serving player or team wins a round, they add 1 point to their total score. Whoever reaches 21 points first wins the game. If you want to play another game, both players or teams start at 0 points again.

Add a point to your score only when it was you or your team’s serve. Award 1 point each time the serving player or team wins the round. Play until you or your opponent wins 21 points.
Article: Since you don’t need too much of either ingredient, start off with 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of baking soda and 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of laundry detergent. Stir them together to create a paste. This method works great when you simply need to spruce up the soles of your shoes but don’t need to clean the rest of them. Take a toothbrush and dip it into the baking soda and laundry detergent. Scrub it into the soles of the shoes, taking care to get all the sides and the bottoms of the shoes, too. Don’t be afraid to really pile the paste onto the soles. You can always make more if you run out, and it won’t hurt anything if you use a lot. Once you’ve scrubbed in the paste, take a sponge and saturate it with cold water. Wring it out so it’s not dripping wet, and then start to wipe away the paste from the soles. Scrub away at any areas that are still dirty, and rinse out the sponge as often as you need to. Use a sponge rather than running the shoes under a stream of water. The sponge will keep the rest of the shoe from getting wet, which means you won’t have to wait for them to dry after you’ve cleaned them. Don’t forget to dry the bottoms, too, so that you don’t slip if you decide to wear them right away. Enjoy your clean shoes! If you notice any sections that are still dirty, you may want to apply a second coat of the baking soda paste to see if that helps lift the remaining dirt.
