If someone comes and says that has two news, one good and another bad, you want to find first good news or bad news? I want to know bad news first, just because after i will know good one,and maybe i ll forgot about bad news. If I have to get two bad news I want to get the worst first. Of course that i want to receive just good news, but in life is not possible; sometimes news can change all our life.

Same here, I'd like to hear the bad news first and save the better one for last. It would be easier to be hopeful and positive after hearing the bad news, knowing there's another news to come which you already know is gonna be good.

I like to get the bad news out of the way first, then soften the blow with whatever the good news happens to be However, sometimes the bad news is SO bad that the good news just falls flat

Of course, everybody would wasnt the bad new first, it's always better to hear the bad one forst then the good one, it may counter the bad one. After all, the bad news is always the best one to hear first, the good news may look the badnews to be not that bad. so for me It's always the Bad news first.

I prefer the good news told first. The bad can be the last because it is easier to understand the bad when it is last. The good news doesnt matter because it will always fade from memory. The importance of the bad news is that it can happen to anyone so I need to be familiar with it.

I'd rather know the bad news first, so that the good news will cheer me up afterwards. Also, I think it's important to get the worst of it out of the way first, so that we have time to prepare for the inevitable.

dear ice, id like to know the bad before the good. that way, when the good is announced, the bitter feeling about the announcement of the bad will be lessened. ann

Good and bad news are common for each person. I prefer listening bad news first, i will resolve the problem. After that i will listen good news. It is common to listen good and bad news in our life. If a person faces bad situation, he feels frightened about the problem. Don't be frightened when a problem arises, try to resolve the problem.

Just like you I prefer to know the bad news first so that when I will hear the good news it may sometime relieve the sadness that was etched in my heart but no matter what it is we have to deal with it so that its easier to solve that refuse to know anything about it.

Just like you I would also want to hear the bad news first before the good news. Of course It is always better to end the day in a good note and positive energy. I'd rather start my day bad but be able to turn around the table and end it good rather that start it right and end it bad. I will not be able to sleep well unless I'am assured everything will be fine. So I guess I'll be able to sleep well if I will hear the bad news first and then the good news last so that it will be the last thing on mind before I go to sleep. Just like they always say, "Save the best for last." It's the same as the news for me. Save the good news for last! :)

absolutely the bad news first. cuz I have seen a friend make a joke to me, he asked me the same question. at that time I got the good news first, it is really a good news, it made me exciting. but you know what? the bad news is that, it is NOT TRUE!

For me I want the bad news first then the good news after wards. Because the bad news and the feeling that you've get from the bad news will be masked after when you have heard the Good news. So its good for me when I want to hear the bad news first. hehe ^ ^

I'm with you, I want to hear the bad news first and process that information and still have the hope the good news will out weigh the bad! Boy do I dislike when someone comes to me with that option! But I always will choose to face whatever is bad first and get it done with. Just like ripping off a bandaid, do it quick and it's done!

You said it correct - our life is full of many good and bad things, we can not always have only good things happen. I would prefer bad things to listen first as I am strong enough to handle bad news and another reason would be a good feeling that ok, this is bad but I have something good waiting next to this. Bad news first and then Good News :)

It should be bad news first, at least after hearing the bad news you would be relieved for a while when you heard the good news which comes then. It is like getting dirty then wash up after, though not all bad news can be better by by good news, the important thing is that you get a breather after receiving the good news.
