Short and sweet

It is often the silence of a person that gives us our most important answers in life. Those that speak little or express less are those that feel the most. This is because they control, they resist, they digest and above all they listen. If one does not speak, it does not mean that they are deaf.

"Yes, no, sure, wow, ok, really, how come, definitely".... such classic clicheéd replies from a Man of few words. Have you ever stopped to think how powerful these replies are? They are short but affirmative! We need to realise that less is more and more of the same just causes confusion. 

When you are alone and not talking to anyone, you partake in what one calls a thinking process. This moment of thinking is often the time when you find a solution to many questions that have been on your mind. So effectively you do not speak and allow your full focuss on the mind. The brain is overcharged with processing information and if to add to that you start to speak too, how is one supposed to concentrate on thinking and speaking at the same time and ultimately produce sound solutions?

I conclude from all this that it is important to spend time alone and simply think, it is also important to not talk once in a while and let the mind talk instead and above all it is crucial to sometimes regard a short answer as more important than a long winded one which may often confuse you and in turn lead you to misinterpret the other person.
