Do you have a habit of speaking out without a second thought. Sometimes I have such a hard time holding my tongue. I have no control of comments that wants to fire out of my mouth. This habitual behaviour is dangerous as it can turn into an ugly situation. The best known remedy is talk nothing as silence can be more powerful than the words that fire off from the mouth.

We all have moments when the urge to spout a comeback is strong, The wise thing is self control- be silent.

I would love to say that I don't have the same problem, but I do! Sometimes offline, I speak first and think later. I should think first and be more cautious and tactful. Online I can think first and hit the edit button! I love that part.

Well I guess everyone knows where they are with you! Like most things this can work two ways. The flip side of course, if that no-one dares to criticise you, knowing that you will very likely have quite a sharp reply to them, if they are being negative about you. Anyways, it is what makes life interesting, everyone being so different.
