It's always important to do the right thing at the right time, likewise saying the right thing at the right time. The tongue might be one of the smallest organs in our body but it's capable of turning things around for good or the other way around. There's nothing bad in being an extrovert, but knowing how to tame our tongue is important, because words are more powerful than we might think of, once it is said, it will always spread like fire. When we are not cautious of what we say, it might push us into trouble or the people around us. Some people talk a lot just to kill boredom or to make their surroundings lively but most times, the impression that people have about the way you talk might be different from the way you viewed it.
Most times, when we talk too much, people might think we want to gain attention ourselves and they'll take you less seriously because they see talking as your way of life, even when you're saying things that matter, they'll not take it seriously, That's one of truth about being a talkaholic if there's something like that. But when we talk less, people will want to listen to us whenever we talk, because you're doing something unexpected and they'll feel that you have a great message to pass across.
Have you ever gone out with friends or on a date, and peradventure, you're the one doing all the talking or the other person? As time went on, the person you're talking to might get bored. Yeah, it's something I have experienced, when I come across someone that talks a lot and could not even give me a room to chip in the little thing I want to say, I get bored easily. As a matter of fact, you might not get to know anything about the person because you're the one doing all the talking. So it's important to listen to more in other to learn and know more about the people around us.
When we find it difficult to tame our tongue, we may say things we don't mean to say. That's why it's important to think twice before we talk, when we take some moment to think about the things we want to say, it will help us to talk less. Knowing the right time to talk is one of the practices that is keeping me grounded, I prefer to be silent and use some seconds to meditate on things I want to say before talking, and these are things I check before talking.
- Is my word not going to hurt anyone?
- Is my word not going to Sound stupid?
- Is my word going to yield something good or the other way around.?
That's some of the things I do check before I speak because I know the words we speak are irreversible even when we want to reverse them. Most times when I feel like I don't have any meaningful things to say, I will rather keep quiet. However, there's nothing bad about talking, but we must be cautious, it's not important to say everything that comes to our mind, at times, what will tell give other the mirror of whom we are, that's why it's important to be cautious of how we talk and the things we say

I have learnt to talk less and listen more
one thing i will like to add to it is people that think they are.... what should i call it, yes blunt.
they say they say the truth and the way it is even if it hurts someone. saying the truth is good but like you said
someone may ask something like "how was my performanc?" the person at that moment needs to hear something encouraging even if the performance wasnt good. words like
The music was good, i love how you carry yourself on the stage, the instruments were good too. then later on after all the exictment have died down. "hey mary, you did well but i think you can improve" pointing out the mistake of the person. At that moment proper correction has taken place and learning will be made easy.
sorry for my long words, Love from #dreemport
You're right, We don't have to keep quiet at all times, that's why it's important to think before we talk. Yeah, there's a way we can make correction without hurting the person but thinking about the right thing to say..
Thanks for your beautiful contribution, I appreciate you for stopping by.
You are welcome
Once a boy was telling an incident to my teacher which i narrated to him few minutes ago and he was listening to boy with same attention and focus …..later i asked why did you listen to her so carefully when uiu already knew what he wanted to say
Teacher replied i did so yo boost up his confidence.to make him aware that he hs ability one can listen
By regarding him I could have demotivate him
These words are still embossed in my mind
In everything we do, it's always important to listen more, because we learn more , the little boy knew the reason why he paud attention to the man.
Thanks for your contribution on this post
This is well said. Some do not put their lips in check before talking while for some, it is a habit. They enjoy bringing people down with their tongue. Your writing here teaches a lot. Weldone
If at all they are going to talk, we should look for things that will bring encouragement to them, not things that it will not bring others down.
I appreciate your contribution ma'
My pleasure Dear
I think that a while lot less of thinking is done in the moment one is speaking. And so to keep talking for so long means there's just too little thought done for such a long time. It does make sense for one to err when they talk too much.
This is wholesome, Mary.
That's just the simple explanation about everything, when we think before we talk, we just go straight to the point and people around us will not feel bored, because people easily get tired from listening to long talk... I'm not excluded.
Thanks for stopping by, and for your contribution.
Good write-up sis, The tongue is a small organ in the human body but very powerful, it could save a soul, and at the same time, it could lead someone to an early grave, Careful use of it is paramount, Thanks for sharing.

That's just the truth about the words if our mouth, that's why we must be very careful, and think before we talk, This will go a long way in helping us to tame our tongue.
Thanks for stopping by.
You are welcome
Of all the organs in the body, the tongue is the most powerful. It can be used to build and destroy families, friendship, and even to kill. The word of God knew how powerful dangerous it was for it to admonish us to "guard our tongues"
Sometimes instead of saying things that I know would have a negative effect, I will just swallow it and mind my business.
#dreemport #dreemerforlife
Hehe, it's always better to swallow our words than creating more problems with the words of our mouth, that's a good way to guard our tongue...
And whenever we think there's a need for us to talk, it's important to deeply think about the things we want to say ..
Thanks for your contribution, it's a pleasure having you around.
