Day 35: Words

If you wish to know the mind of a man, listen to his words. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Words, they can mean so little, and mean so much. Don't let the words that leave your lips, be empty. Choose your words wisely.

Somethings are better left unsaid, and better shown in your actions. Empty statements are useless, and ignorant.

Do not allow your words to make you look ignorant. Do not over use statements, as you will look like a fool.

Speak as if you want to be heard, and use your mind to choose the specific words to day. Also remember, that it is important not only what words you say, but in how you say them. There is a time and place for everything. Do not use your words to control people. Do not use you words for evil. Do not be deceptive. Do not lie. Speak only the truth.

Remember your words are not stronger than your actions. You cannot use even the greatest words to recover from the slightest wrong action. It is true as the saying goes "actions speak louder than words." Actions will always overtake words.

Always choose the correct words, at the right moment. Only speak from the heart, with honesty. Remember that silence is often louder, and more appropriate than any word you can say. Sometimes it is best to say nothing at all, rather than waste your breath in uttering things that are meaningless. Do not speak just to speak.

English proverb : Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Such a true statement. Don't open your mouth and speak, unless it's necessary. Do not abuse the art of language, and good conversation.

Perfect the art of communication, and conversation.
