Talk less, listen more

March 19, 2023 | Miscellany

He explained how social media interactions force over-talking and promote the belief that success is measured by attracting attention. Truly successful and powerful people talk less but with more intent, and listen more.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

Maurice Switzer, Mrs. Goose, Her Book
