The power of silence

Growing up i' ve learnt alot of things about keeping silence when necessary, it's not every word said to you you must reply. There are times you will have to keep your silence so as to prove an important point.

Keeping silence doesn't mean you are a fool or you don't know what to say, it is simply you taking time out to think deeply in order to make your point more glaring and successful than others. Most of the times, people see me as a gentle lady all because I don't talk but I laugh deep inside of me because I know am not gentle am just quiet. I have learnt alot from my father because he is a quiet man, he talks when necessary and when it's not you will see him sitting quietly observing his environment. People see him as a dangerous man because he doesn't talk much but he is not atall so I can say I learnt that from him.

Silence is golden, silence is divine, your opinions will be respected when you know when to talk and when not to. A wise man once told me that if you are in a meeting be the one to talk last, let every other person there talk then you pick one or two points from them all to make your own contributions. Don't be a talkative, it's better to be a wise introvert than a foolish extrovert, pick your words with wisdom. There is a proverb in my language that says (eyin lohun to ba ti bo ko se ko mo) meaning your speech is like an egg once fallen to the ground it can't be packed anymore. I always keep this at the back of my mind that's why I don't talk much especially when am angry so as not to say what I will regret later. The best time to keep silence is when you are angry because at that point in time you are not yourself and everything you alter out at that time will be used against you and when you are calm you will be wondering when did you say that.

In the world today, people are looking for your mistakes, they are looking for what to hold against you especially speech that is why someone needs to be extra careful not to talk carelessly. Words should be picked carefully don't say because you are older than the person you are talking with then start talking anyhow that might land you in a big trouble and there might be no remedy after you've caused the damage. Wise people are always quiet, they don't talk anyhow because they know how golden silence is, sometimes silence worth millions while careless talk worth suffering.

In conclusion

I will urge us to take our time to read this and reflect on how we live our day to day lives, silence doesn't mean you are a fool, it means you know and understand how expensive silence is. May we not land into trouble because of our speech. Stay safe.
