When Silence Is Golden

Not talking about your favorite subject will keep it that way
Not getting recognition will ensure you don’t become complacent
Not strutting your stuff in front of new acquaintances will endear you to your old friends
Not letting the world in on your secret passion will add to your mystery
Not bragging will ward off envy
Not tooting your horn will save you from becoming a bore
Not saying anything when you have nothing to say will always prove wise
Not asking for the answer will give you time to ponder the question
