Think Before You Act

When I was a little girl my mother always told me "Think before you act." I can honestly say that this was some of the best advice that my mother gave me (this includes "Don't touch the walls, it's an international law" – I believed this until I was 12 when I found out it was NOT an international law of any kind). But I honestly feel that the advice to "think before you act" should be followed by everyone. This thought especially applied today when I heard about Kelly Tilghman.

I had never heard the name Kelly Tilghman until this morning. This is probably because I do not have any interest in watching golf. But after a little research I found out that Tilghman is an anchor on the Golf Channel (which I am sure is very thrilling to watch). In a conversation that Tilghman was having with a co-anchor about Tiger Woods she made the comment that young players should "lynch Tiger in a back alley." This did not go over well.

Tilghman clearly did not think before she spoke. She has apologized directly to Tiger, who she has known for over 12 years. She is also apologizing to her viewers for her remarks. The Golf Channel has also stated that there will be disciplinary actions for Kelly's words ... I wonder if it will be a Don Imus situation?

My parting words of wisdom: Think before you act ;)
