When Silence is Golden


My mother taught me to bite my tongue when I don't have anything nice to say in a conversation.  As the world becomes more polarized, her suggestions are like precious gems.  I'm realizing how valuable it is to keep my mouth shut.  This gives me the opportunity to concentrate on the real problem – my own self.

The next time you find yourself under personal attack, instead of fighting back, thank the other person for sharing.  Let them know you will consider their points.  In fact, your enemies will give you all the feedback you need to work on improving yourself if you're willing to listen rather than argue.  Have a great day.
