"The fact that I'm silent doesn't mean I have nothing to say." -Jonathan Carroll

- When you say being silent it's dealing with not saying anything. It is the process of thinking rather than talking. Maybe there's a lot of words to speak out but sometimes it's better not to say them to keep it calm and to avoid any complicated situation. Better not to have a discussion with people who doesn't know how to listen to somebody's opinion, because you can never win to someone who only believes in himself. The fact of being silent doesn't always mean that you are a loser, it also mean that you have a wide range of understanding. It's always better to listen and to consider somebody's opinions to avoid arguing. Learn to appreciate them, because like you, they also have their own way of thinking. And like you, they also want to share their stories, opinions and suggestions to others.

Yes that's true. I agree of what you are posting. I have read this line before that "Truly confident people realize they know a lot, but they wish to know more, and they know the only way to learn more is to LISTEN more.... "

While on a trip with my sister I got to know a lot about her but she didn't learn much about me as she talked all the time. One brother even got after her but it only slowed her down for a few minutes. Those we visited mostly learned about her. I can't say I really minded as I don't do that much that would be interesting.

Silence is as deep as eternity and speech is as shallow as time.Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves.Silence is nothing but the greatest policy to measure the prudence of speaking person. Thanks

Perhaps like me ,I have many thinkings ,but I can't find someone to speak my heart. Or sometimes I just want to think deeply without bother. Maybe a few people wonder me. ah..
