"Le tact est l'art de faire une remarque sans se faire un ennemi"
— Isaac Newton
Simplified Meaning:
When you want to share your opinion or correct someone, it's important to do it kindly so you don't hurt their feelings or make them angry. Think about it like this: If your friend has a bit of food on their face, you could laugh and embarrass them, or you could gently tell them in private so they can clean it up without feeling bad. This way, you get your message across without upsetting your friend. Tact means being thoughtful and respectful when you talk about sensitive topics. For example, if a coworker makes a mistake, instead of calling them out in front of everyone, you might pull them aside and explain the error kindly. This helps maintain good relationships and trust with others. When you practice tact, people are more likely to listen to you and appreciate your honesty because you’ve shown them respect.
