Have you ever heard that Silence is the best answer to a fool or Silence is not empty, it is full of answers? I am sure you have heard these types of lines or motivational quotes many times. I also heard these things so I decided to do some efforts to find whether it is really true or just some shit lines. Guess what I found! Many successful and famous personalities used the power of silence to become what they are now. The most important thing you should know is, that being silent doesn’t mean you become completely silent and stop saying anything, instead, being silent is an art of knowing when to talk, how much to talk and what to talk.

So, Let’s get to know the power of silence.

Reasons to stay silent/ talk less

1. Say Less, Regret Less

These days, people lack one of the most important skills, that is self-control. We often suffer from our lack of self-control and because of this, we face many consequences that we regret later. Being human, we have feelings so getting angry at people when they say something, or do something to you, is normal. Sometimes we get blind in our anger that we start saying things which we should never say and we also don’t mean to say them but in anger we say them.

“Once the word out from your mouth, you cannot take them back.” You should always watch your tongue before saying anything because you may never know how much damage can your words do to the other person.

Silence is the key to self-control as it will give you a sense of holding your words and help you to calm down before saying anything stupid in a heated situation. If you stay silent, then you can say things after thinking or even leave the place for the moment, it can save the day by not making the situation worse. By staying silent, you will never say things you should never say.

2. Silence increases your value

Have you ever felt that people around you don’t give any priority or value to you? Do they always look down upon you like you don’t even exist there and your opinion doesn’t matter? If yes, then being silent can solve your problem and can increase your value.

It is observed in many social groups and offices that a person who remains silent and talks only when needed is considered an intelligent person. If you talk only when you need to, then your opinion and your point will always matter to the other people. People will also listen to you more carefully as compared to the person who talks more. It will automatically make you their preference in any discussion. So, from today, start practising staying silent and talking less because after this anything you say will have more weight than any other person.
