The less you talk, the more you're listened to.

The less you talk, the more you're listened to.

Summary

This quote suggests that speaking less and being more selective with our words can actually make our message more impactful. When we constantly talk without purpose or speak excessively, our words may lose their value and our audience may lose interest. However, if we speak sparingly and choose our words wisely, people are more likely to pay attention and give importance to what we have to say. By practicing restraint and emphasizing quality over quantity in our communication, we can enhance our ability to be heard and truly listened to.
