Be silent, or say something better than silence. Pythagoras
My three-year-old nephew was playing hide and seek with the other boys when one of the boys came over to hide near where I was sitting. He started giggling. I told him not to because it’s a secret. Maybe that was his first time being exposed to the word because he started shouting secret! Secret! It was hilarious!
Think Before You Speak
But what about us? Do we do the same in our daily lives, jobs, business or entrepreneurship endeavors? Do we publicize or quietly share what others tell us in secret? Do we know when to speak and when to be silent? Do we know what to to share and when to share it? Communication is key to relationships and knowing the right time to speak is even more important.
Many are the secrets that have been espoused that have destroyed organizations, relationships and families. Remember speech is silver, silence is golden.
Let’s make it a habit to think before we speak.
Cheers!
