22. LEARN TO SHUT UP

 

Sometimes it better to just keep quiet and let others do the talking even if you know better. Most of us have told the wrong set of persons our secret ingredient, which ought not to be so.

Even if you enjoy talking, you derive joy from talking; sometimes you need to shut up. Wise people don't talk too much. They listen more and talk less. Don't talk away your life.

One fascinating fact about talking less is that people tend to respect you more. Speak when you have something to say and think about what you have to say before you open up your mouth to talk.
