I grew up conditioned that one is powerful when loud and outspoken. Whereas—quiet people are timid and weak. While in most cases—that's true. But I beg to differ. Can't people see that quiet people are the most dangerous? They hold their words and only speak when necessary. That way, they avoid blurting foolish things. But when they speak—everyone listens since they rarely do so and only when necessary. Like an eagle, they observe people in 360 degrees. They can tell what's going on in the room, but they won't say anything about it. That is something to be frightened of. They can look all innocent and oblivious, but they know it all. Those are people you can't mess with and are to be feared. And that's what makes quiet people powerful. Silence is power.
