July 28 … succinct Speaking
It is an oft-overlooked fact that much of our language is completely unnecessary. With this Truth in mind, go the whole day by saying only “Yes”, “No”, “Hmmm,” or smiling in silence. Do so not to cause others annoyance or irritation (though these might indeed be inadvertently engendered), but rather to re-realize how priceless the spoken word truly is … Experience throughout the day how much can be said with very little, and remember this lesson when you engage in speech in your days that follow.
