Hello everyone, today I will like to share with you the power behind keeping silent even when all things seems falling. I have come to realise personally that keeping silent at a certain point in time really help. It shouldn't be about always talking. The truth is talkatives are mostly saying things that shouldn't be said and are always putting themselves in troubles. >

Much talking is the cause of danger. Silence is the means of avoiding misfortune. The talkative parrot is shut up in a cage. Other birds, without speech, fly freely about. By: Saskya Pandita

I have come to realise that one secret of being successful is being silent. Being silent is one of the greatest human behaviour that we mostly underestimate. Keeping silent can help in so many ways. I always say; me keeping silent doesn't mean am dumb, NO! It means I am planning my next move to make what I made wrong, right. To be a successful business man, poet, musician, writer, teacher, pastor you need a moment of silence in your life. Create time for silence. This silence period involves only you and yourself, this is the time to sit, analyse and make proper decision that will bring a betterment in your life and those around you. This is the time you plan for the greatness of anything you are doing. This period is for self examination. Talking less shows how wise and mature you are. Kids cry all the time because they are not mature, this shows that anyone who is always complaining and talking about unnecessary staffs that will not bring any change in his or she life and the lives of the people around him or her is just like a kids crying to disturb his or her parent and the people around. There is this common saying that goes like this; >

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools speak because they have to say something. By Plato

Some people speak because they want others to feel their presents and that leads to saying things that are not wise. To be the best of all, have a moment of silence to think about what to say to change the lives of people around you and you will be recognised as a wise person. Don't be like the fool who speaks because he wants to speak. >

Proverbs 17:28 : Even a fool is thought to be wise when he remains silent; he is thought to be prudent when he keeps his mouth shut.

Let learn from the scripture above. It says it all. ---
