Be Silent but Smile!
Last Update: Jan 16, 2023
Quote of the Day:
“Always remember: Silence and smile are two very powerful tools.” Paula Coelho
Meaning of the Quote:
The proverbial saying “silence is golden” means that sometimes it is better to keep quiet than open your mouth. Additionally, a smile can lift the spirit of someone which can last for more than a moment.
Discussion of the Quote:
Indeed, silence and smiles are both tools that we can use effectively, wisely and lovingly. A smile is an unspoken form of communication. When it is done successfully, it can create an effect that can last for much more than a moment. It requires less effort to smile than to frown. So give someone a smile, you never know what kind of impact that it can have on that person.
More importantly, a smile doesn't cost you anything. In fact, the giver and receiver of a smile both benefit from this single simple action. So share a smile. You may be able to make a difference in someone’s day just by giving someone a smile.
Additionally, silence is the ability to speak but instead you choose not to speak. Sometimes silence is more powerful than any amount of words that you can use. Furthermore, silence helps to keep the peace. The most influential people are normally those of very few words. Instead, they let their actions speak for them.
Final Thoughts:
Silence and smiles are both actions that we can choose to do or not. Silence is powerful when it is used effectively. Instead of opening your mouth and speaking meaningless words it is better to say nothing at all. As the saying goes, if you don’t have anything good to say, say nothing at all.
On the other hand, a genuine smile can be a gift to someone. “We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.” Mother Teresa. It is free, quick and easy to do. A smile is environmentally friendly. It is a universal language. “Smile and the world smiles with you.” Stanley Gordon West. So keep smiling!

Do you remember "Hogan's Heroes," wherein Schults says "I know nothing, I say nothing until I am allowed to speak?"

When you are silent while others are babbling their heads off, people get the impression you are more intelligent than you really are. They can't wait to hear your point of view.
Silence is indeed golden.

Smiles are free and give lots of happiness to others. It also helps us to feel good as well. It's hard to be sad and depressed if you have a smile on your face. So, smiling at someone else can often help you as much as it will the person you smile at.
