Talking the Talk, Constantly

If I had the wisdom to know when to keep my mouth shut and when I need to speak my mind, I would probably feel a lot more successful.  I never really thought about being a "man (woman) of few words" to be a virtuous position, but really, I guess it is.  Anyone can babble on and on hoping a few worthwhile sentences come out every once in a while.  However, a truly wise individual speaks when necessary and when he or she says something, people listen.  Their words have a value mine could never have, because I just talk and talk until there's nothing left to talk about.

I guess the life lesson here is two-fold.  Listen to the ones who don't speak and try to be a little more selective with the never-ending babble.
