Silence

 

Silence is one of the most powerful weapons one could come to wield. When things don't go as planned, or when you're being annoyed continuously, try to stay silent. Silence puts a stop to your overflowing emotions, be it anger, happiness, or sadness. You could see or hear people saying that venting out or lettibg out will make you feel better.

But something in the opposite way has worked for me. Instead of letting out, try to stay silent and keep things to yourself, which could help you to start introspecting. Silence is the answer to most of our problems. For example, when something unpleasant occurs, immediate reaction could spark other reactions, which could be negative. Not only in situations like these, but application of silence in various other situations helps one a lot.

Some people have this tendency to register their presence by interrupting whenever people around them are discussing. But staying silent and listening to what others speak is more valuable and helpful, to develop one's mental horizons. In fact, such an interruption is done seeking a temporary recognition. But listening to such discussions in silence could enrich ourselves and lead us to a greater recognition.
