The Bottom Line
Help a friend see things more conservatively -- they are taking too many risks.
In Detail
Take the sales pitch one of your friends gives you today with a grain of salt. Sure, they may sound one hundred percent positive about something, but your healthy intuition is telling you that this thing isn't all it's cracked up to be. Do your best to alert your friend to your concerns in a very diplomatic way -- you don't want them to think you are attacking them. Help them see things more conservatively -- show them that they should be more careful in the future.

The Bottom Line
Pretending that a problem will go away isn't a solution. Deal with the conflict.
In Detail
Pretending that a problem will just go away some day isn't a solution -- it's only going to cause you more stress down the line. Just like removing a bandage, the faster you deal with it, the less pain you will feel. So if you need to discuss a sensitive issue with someone who's known to have a trigger temper, be direct, be honest and be prepared for questions. You can't avoid this conflict. All you can do is begin it on your terms, which is an advantage.
