Virtue # 2 from Benjamin Franklin's 13 Virtues.
When is the right time to listen and when is the right time to speak? Over the years the obvious answer has increasing become, it is always the right time to listen. Speaking only should happen when you know what to say, how to say it and are completely aware of why you are saying it. Which means, that most times I should keep my opinions, thoughts, and feelings to myself. The wit, charm, intelligence and insight that I thought I was going to share often times turned out misunderstood, ill-timed or just wrong.
Always remember what you were taught as a kid: You should listen twice as much as you talk. 2 ears, 1 mouth and silence is golden.
This is bonus material for the Pocket Reflection Book "the Virtues of Benjamin Franklin, Thirteen Habits to Live By"
Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
