Many of us have a preferred way of dealing with conflict. However, the way you respond to conflict should depend on the situation. So, take time to consider the situation and decide on the best way of dealing with that conflict. 

Giving in:
You’re probably right.
I’m happy to do it your way.

Avoiding:
I’d prefer not to talk about this now.
I’ll leave it to you to decide.

Forcing:
Let me tell you how this made me feel.
This is what I think we should do…

Compromising:
If I (do this) can you (do this)?
I’m happy to agree on (this) if you can (do that).

Working together:
I’d like to hear your side of things.
What do you think is the best way forward?

ENGLISH POEM:  The road not taken by Robert Frost

It is a short story by Ivan Turgenev, a Russian novelist and story writer. The story of Gerasim, a deaf and mute serf whose life of poverty is brought into sharp relief by his connection with Mumu, a dog he rescued, brought greater national attention to the cruelties of serfdom and received praise for its brutal portrayal of this institution in Russian society.

日本語を知らなくても、「manga」「judo」「sushi」「tsunami」などの言葉を知っている人は多いと思います。「wabi わび」はどうでしょうか。「sabi さび」と一緒（いっしょ）に「わびさび」と言われることが多いですね。日本人が大事にしている価値観（かちかん sence of values ）のひとつです。とか何とか言いながら、実は100％日本人の私でさえ、よくわかんなかったんですよ。ウィキペディア以上（いじょう）に説明（せつめい）できるとは思いませんでした。でもね、この間、紅葉（こうよう／もみじ）見にいって、すこーしわかったような気がしたので、その経験（けいけん experience )をお話したいと思います。そして次回は「さび」へと続（つづ）きます。
