October 7, 2008Reader Success Story ~ Zen Communication
I continue to build a habit from your suggestion to “think about the purpose of your words before you speak.” As a direct result I speak less and listen more. There’s less “filler” and more substance. My words are focused. For some reason I notice I smile more! Perhaps I’m one step closer to the Zen state of communication.

I recently came across this relevant quote: “If you can’t improve on silence, keep quiet”. ~ Lou Holtz
Also, I understand that in Quaker meeting the Friends stay silent until they are moved to speak. So we seem to have more than one philosophy advocating thinking before speaking!
