Saying Something...or Saying Nothing

"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." Plato

I am the the person in the crowd who likes to stand back and listen to who is saying what...When you listen to what a person is saying and keeps taking the conversation back to the same topic that's what dominates their life....A person who wants to impress is usually talking about where they've been, who they know and what some one elese doesn't know..Which brings us to today's quote...A wise person speaks not to impress but to enlighten, a fool speaks to embellish himself or herself...don't quote me I know there are exceptions to every rule....Try standing back at the next gathering and see who is saying what...Embellishment and enlightment can easily be determined...The person who says I, I, I, me, me, me put a pin in it...If you want to learn something about a person shhhh and listen to what they are saying.....That's why I keep my mouth shut...I say what I need to say and let it go....Ask me a question I'll answer...But I don't usually talk unless I am being talked to or if I am nervous....So to all of my sisters here's one for you (unless it is a private setting with just you and your girls) at the next party don't keep talking about designer bags, expensive cars and things like that because guys will call us gold diggers...Guys you do it too I don't care how many cars you drive and you only wear designer shirts and you own how many pairs of Jordans?... Guard your thoughts and tame your tongue...The things we say can make or break us...I know you've heard that a million times....But it's true, words can come back to bite you or brighten you...For a person who doesn't talk alot I sure have said a lot.....OK until next time....
