Motivational Quote - If you think twice before speaking once, you will speak twice the better for it.

SparkPeople's Comments

It’s easy to spurt out something without really thinking about it. Usually, this ends up being okay with no harm done, but sometimes, you’ll say something that you wish you hadn’t. Problem is, you can’t take these words back. If you say the wrong thing, there is a strong chance that people will remember what came out of your mouth. So, before you speak, make sure that you mean what you say. Stand by what you do say, and follow through. Don’t criticize, but try being positive. Next time, before you blurt out a critique, say something nice instead. You’ll be respected for it.

So very true. Stop, look and listen......I think that lesson was from the 'old' days in what we used to call "Grammar School".

I can't tell you how many times I've said something hurtful because I spoke without thinking first or spoke when I was angry. I really do need to think before I speak to avoid hurting the people I love.

My granny always told us to "keep your words sweet for one day you may have to eat them". Don't know where she got that from, but it's OH SO TRUE!
