I read someone's profile saying the following

No "IF's" and "BUT's"

I find this amusing and interesting:D

Yes, little do we notice, we actually make a lot of statements with "IF" or "BUT" appended. So let me analyse NOW on the spot (and see what I can derive from these 2 words).

"IF" is to indicate "possibility" and normally it is followed with a conditional consequence/action

Then then!! Why people don't like "IF"?

Hmmm~ Good question! It is because too much "IF" will make you an unrealistic person, and not firm on your ground. You will make yourself being thought as a frivolous person. Eventually, people won't take your words seriously because you "Assume" too much.

While for "BUT", it is a cancellation/denial/ rejection of the former statement you made. Sometimes it also means you do not mean what you said in your earlier statement. Statement that comes after "BUT" is a total opposite of the earlier statement-- If the earlier state is positive, then after the "BUT", it will become negative, and vice versa. However, I must say if you use "BUT" wisely, you enlighten people BUT (good example) sorry to say, most of the "BUT's" are followed with a negative statement

XD

When we are talking with people, we need facts, we need to make decision, we need to thrill people with the conversation contents that we have. But with "IF" and "BUT", you do not achieve "factual" and you are not "decisive". Standing in the middle (being neutral) sometimes can be very very irritating to listeners and chatters.

My share. I think there are many holes in the above article, but I do it spontaneously. I hope it looks good though to readers haha..
