The Power of Silence: Why Words Are More Dangerous Than Missteps
Zeno was onto something when he said, “Better to trip with the feet than with the tongue.” Silence is golden.
A stumble or a fall might bruise the body.
A reckless word can crush relationships.
You can’t take it back.
Your tongue can be your best friend or worst enemy in business and life.
If you get nothing else out of this post, remember this:
Silence isn’t weakness; it’s strength held in reserve.
Pause before you speak.
The space between stimulus and response is worth more than its weight in gold.
Mastering your words is the quickest path to mastering your life.
