It doesn't get any clearer than this does it - and I have never heard or seen it stated like this before -think twice before you speak once.
My thought for today is an admonishment taken from Napoleon Hill Foundation and deserves sharing, and a lot of reflection.
Wise persons are those who think twice before speaking once
Perhaps the greatest quality in a leader and the most valuable skill in building relationships is the ability to think before you speak. If you have a tendency to speak hastily in anger and regret your actions at leisure, the childhood admonition to count to ten before speaking will still serve you well.
When you pause - if only for a moment-to consider the consequences, you may think better of what you were about to say. And if you must speak strongly, it’s a good idea to sugarcoat the words-just in case you have to eat them later.
