So, be slow about speaking.
Pace things out aright during conversations.
The Bible calls it 'the tongue of the learned'. Being able to use words to one's advantage is a virtue extolled from of old because our words are secrets to the vaults of treasures. So knowing what to say in and out of season is very paramount to the realization of opportunities. Thank you @steemsecrets and @surpassinggoogle for pointing out this very salient point.
Also in Pacing, some will be fast in making a "successful journey in Steemit" while some will be slow, but nonetheless you will still be successful if you will not stop pursuing your Goals at Steemit.
