Think carefully before you speak.
‘The older I grow the more I listen to people who don’t talk much.’German G Glien
Your words can hurt other people’s feelings. They may influence others, encourage them to do something they wouldn’t normally do. Don’t just throw around whatever you have in your mind. Because words have power to change people’s lives. So, use your words responsibly.
Listen more before jumping to conclusions. Consider all possible arguments, both for and against, no matter if you like those arguments or not at the very beginning. Look at the bigger picture, analyze every single piece of information, take your time to come up with personal judgments. Don’t act on impulse. Slow down.

Limit yourself to what’s important. Speak when necessary.
There is so much noise in the current world already. Focus on what you’re trying to communicate, and find balance. If you narrow your speech down to what you’re really trying to say, people will listen. If you speak too much, they’ll fall asleep.
Get to know others better. You’ll never learn about other people, if you don’t let them talk, introduce themselves, share their successes and failures.

Every person has its own unique life story. We all have something to say, no matter how important or trivial our speech is going to be. The question is, how much you’re willing to listen to get to know other people.
When you speak less, you do more. Actions speak louder than words. Some people tend to show off how many great products they bought, or where they spent their last summer holiday.
But, shouldn’t we ask, if they created something on their own, or they just bought souvenirs manufactured by others? Because creating has bigger value – it helps us to grow, discover new stuff, fail, learn from own mistakes.
For those of you who don’t like talking, try writing to express yourself. Maybe, some of you feel like nobody understands you, or you’re just being misunderstood. But, quiet people usually tend to observing others, analyze different situations, judge the world.

And then, they prefer to write because it’s easier for them to show who they really are.
