Talking should have a reason, or it’s often better to stay silent. There are three good reasons to speak up.

First, make others happy with your words. If what you say makes people unhappy, it’s better to keep quiet.

Second, talk about how people can work hard and bring value to others.

And third, talk to make a living;

Otherwise, focus on staying alive and keeping quiet.

Speaking is an art. Speaking well is like adding icing to a cake, but speaking poorly can cause trouble. It’s better to say too little than to say too much.

Think twice before speaking, speak wisely, and avoid unnecessary consequences.

Wise people speak slowly; fools talk too much. As an intelligent person, choose your words carefully, speak what’s necessary, and avoid saying too much. Keep your mouth shut in a group, and when alone, keep your thoughts to yourself.

Everyone appreciates praise, support, and affirmation. Criticism and accusations are disliked.

Everyone appreciates respect, regardless of their occupation.

When you speak, aim to make others happy, entertain them, and show respect. This way, they will be friendly, open up to you, and communicate freely. Troubles often come from force, and misfortune can come from the mouth.

Be mindful of your words, and say less to avoid unnecessary problems.

In this world, people admire strength and look for strong leaders. If what you say motivates, energizes, and inspires others, making them believe in a better tomorrow, then speak more.

Listening to you can be more valuable than reading for ten years. Your words can create a significant impact, so make them meaningful. I was wisely advised not to reveal everything when meeting someone.

Be cautious with your words; the listener intends to listen, while the speaker may not intend to understand.

Always remember to speak words others like to hear, keep them motivated, and add value. Survival is crucial, and speaking can create wealth and your desired life. Otherwise, it’s often better to stay silent.

    Wonderful advice! I liked the formatting. Foils do, indeed, talk too much. Let’s hope everyone will speak kind words.
