> **Integrity shines in clarity. Speak with truth, simplicity, and conviction.**

I suffer a terrible ailment inherited from my British upbringing. It's hedging: the avoidance of commitment to an answer or "negative politeness". My speech was full of maybe's, perhaps, I think, and anything that would avoid any potential offence or stated opinion.

Most Brits will call it British reserve, or polite indirectness. My wife called it annoying.
