Interestingly, the word
“tact” takes its meaning from the Latin word for “touch”, suggesting that
people with tact touch the world around then with care and consideration. They
connect with things and people in an understanding way. They stroke the world
instead of shoving or striking it. They don’t push against you, but just sort
of brush you with their thoughts and words. Whatever they come into contact
with – the weather, their work, other people – they do it with subtlety and savoir faire. Having tactfulness, they
can put out a gentle hand to everything.
