it's a poor idea to lie to yourself

Lying is something can be beneficiary or dangerous. When you lie you must be very smart and professional as they called them in public relations spin doctors because those people are deals with the media everyday in their life. There is a golden rule in communications that never say to the media no comment rather say i will come back or i will comment after the internal investigation have completed. It's a poor idea to lie to yourself.

I remember vividly when the former president Nelson Mandela was getting married to Mrs Graca Macheal, the late Parks Mankahlana spokesperson for tata, when he was approached by the media to clarify if indeed  tata was about to get married to Ms Macheal, he said Mandela is not getting married to anyone he has only one wife mama Winnie Madikizela- Mandela, he said no further comment. Later same day it appears he was lying to the nation that tata was not getting married.

When you lie,you lie because you want to protect yourself from being humiliated for certain reasons. I remember one day, it winter time, it was raining cats and dogs, I lied to myself ,I was supposed to have gone to work as normal. I sent text sms to my supervisor and informing him that, I was not feeling well.

He easly agreed with me to stay out  of work for two days. On the third day back to work, i had to bring certificate doctor to show him that, i was unfit to work for the past two days. However the worse scenario, I never gone to the doctor for examination and certificate.  I could not prove to him and organization that, i was sick even thought i sent an text sms. I was therefore given a written warning.I I regreated the poor idea to lie to myself.
