The Value of Being Quiet!

 

If we don't have something constructive to say, than we definitely should be silent!

We have two ears, two eyes...but only one mouth!... these are the most effective "devices" we have for our communication.

The concept of "two ears and one mouth" applied to the value of listening, comes from some ancient Greek philosophers like Epictetus (c. 55 – 135 AD), who said: “ We have two ears and one mouth, so we can listen twice as much as we speak.”
