“I feel that if a person has problems communicating, the very least he can do is to shut up.”

Tom Lehrer

Are you adding value when you speak?
Or are you just filling air with sound?

None of us live in isolation, nor should we.
Sharing our thoughts and feelings is an important part of life.
An expectation of being human.

Neither should you withhold your opinions and emotions,
Nor should you incessantly talk as if the world revolves 
around only you, your problems, your ideas, your suggestions.

We all can go much further in life if we share the road together.
Let’s just make sure we are good traveling partners on that journey.

Yours in achieving your personal best . . .
