Word---to the Wise

  I came across some advice, a while ago, about conversation:   Don't say anything unless you think it's something of importance to the listeners.  Your words  should be about something of interest to them, not to you.  In most cases then, you would be talking about them, not you or your thoughts or ideas.  You'll know, all right, when you stray from this advice. The words you utter sink to the ground like lead, lie there, and die.   I am speechless.
