George Bernard Shaw once remarked, “The smartest
man I know is my tailor. Whenever I go
to him to be fitted he always measures me. “
The tailor assumed his customers would change by the time he next saw
them. Shouldn’t we look at people the
same way?
“To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.” John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent. Life teaches many lessons. Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied. Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
