Beautiful quote. Permit me to tweak it a little bit: "A smart person knows what to say. A wise person knows how and when to say it."
I’m getting better at implementing this philosophy!!
Yes, I have a few friends that want to retell a story to me. I could tell them you already told me that story. Sometimes, I choose to let them tell the story. They get something out of sharing the story again.
If only more people understood that

1moIn the realm of words, where wisdom weaves, Smart minds wield phrases, like autumn leaves. They craft eloquence, their tongues ablaze, Yet wisdom whispers secrets, in quieter ways. Smart people know the scripts, the lines rehearsed, Their lexicons vast, their tongues well-versed. They dazzle with rhetoric, a polished display, But wisdom dances in silence, leading the way. For wise souls discern the currents unseen, They gauge the tides of truth, where shadows convene. They choose their utterances with care and grace, Knowing when to speak, and when to embrace space. The smart may dazzle crowds, their voices loud, Yet wisdom's hush resounds, a tranquil shroud. It's not about the syllables, the grand oratory, But the pregnant pause that births profound story. So let us honor both—the smart and the sage, For words can build bridges or confine in a cage. May we learn from the silence, the spaces between, Where wisdom blooms quietly, forever unseen. 👍👍if you like my poem then please follow me for more👍👍
