“A man is known by the silence he keeps,”—Oliver Herford.
The problem most of us have is that we don’t know when to seal our lips and remain silent. In trying to prove our points, we talk and talk and talk until we talk our way into trouble.
There is no crime in holding back your reply to a question to a time that is more convenient at least; don’t be hounded into making decisions that will determine the shape or outcome of your destiny based on some undue pressure. Take your time, think things through, and be the better for it later in life.
Remember, even silence is priceless sometimes…
