7 things wise people know to keep their mouths shut

Among them, there are 6 things that they absolutely avoid and never touch:

1. A wise man does not lie

An upright person does not do shady things, an honest person does not tell lies. A wise person is honest and will never do anything that will make his conscience ashamed.

That is why they do not deceive anyone for their own benefit. Because they understand that lies are sometimes not to harm others but to lie for fun, to brag but sometimes can bring disaster upon themselves.

Whether a lie comes from good or bad intentions, it creates karma, damages reputation and lowers self-esteem.

Furthermore, it is very difficult for a person who has lied to stop. Because in order to cover up the lies, he is forced to pile on more lies.

This is like a mud puddle, the deeper they sink, the more they end up sinking into not-so-good outcomes.

2. Wise people do not talk about past mistakes.

When you give good advice to others, don't always remind them of their past mistakes if you don't want to stimulate their resistance and unwillingness to accept the truth.

Originally well-intentioned, but if expressed incorrectly, it can also become malicious. Whether it is praise or criticism, it requires skill and order, so that the other person is willing to listen and accept it sincerely.

3. A wise man does not spend all day telling his joys and sorrows.

Smart people always understand that what happens to them has nothing to do with others. Living in this world is like a fish in water, only it knows whether it is hot or cold.

A person who complains all day long and tells others about his hardships only gives them more opportunities to look down on you. In life, 8 or 9 out of 10 things don't go as planned, but there is also 1 or 2 good things.

So being happy and sharing with the wrong person is showing off, being sad and confiding in the wrong person is overdoing it. Smart people must know how to adjust their growth process to silent mode, not casually sharing their sadness.

4. Wise people do not talk about their weaknesses

The most foolish thing in social interaction is not to be on guard against others.

Not everyone in this world comes to you with good intentions. Of course some people have good intentions, but there are also people who have bad intentions towards you.

Especially at work, you have to be careful when talking to people.

Diem Diem - a post 00 girl shared her own story.

A few months before graduating, Diem Diem was an intern at a company. In order to pass the assessment and stay on at the company, she worked hard, even working overtime until midnight.

Seeing that the internship was about to end, the leaders were very satisfied with her, Diem Diem also felt that she had secured a ticket to work long-term at the company.

By chance, she discovered another company that was a good fit for her, so she decided to go for an interview to try her luck.

There was another girl who was interning with Diem Diem. During dinner, Diem Diem accidentally revealed to this girl that she was going to interview at another company.

A few days later, after the official employee list was announced, Diem Diem unexpectedly failed the evaluation, and the long-term job opportunity was given to another girl who was also an intern.

And the interview with another company she had her eye on also failed, leaving her with no job opportunities at all.

Diem Diem was very upset and did not understand why she was not kept on the job. So she ran to ask her boss, who choked up and said to her:

"I heard that you will be interviewing for a job with another company, and our company feels that you are not loyal enough."

When she learned the truth, she regretted not being on guard against others and telling them everything.

For those who speak rashly, it is imperative to keep your mouth shut, do not say things that should not be said, and do not say meaningless things. This does not mean that you have to become a liar or a hypocrite.

Talking about your own shortcomings is not sincerity, but a kind of stupidity. Talk less about your own shortcomings and avoid discussing other people's weaknesses.

Zeng Guofan once said:

"Talking about your own shortcomings shows that you are protecting those shortcomings. Praising your own strengths is belittling the strengths of others. This is the behavior of a person with limited awareness."

In communication, talk less about your own weaknesses and talk more about the strengths of others, this is the way of life of a wise person.

5. Wise people do not complain

Lu Xun once said: "Usually people start complaining, everything will get worse in the direction of his complaining".

Complaining doesn't really help you much. Complaining is like pouring water down your shoes. It will only make you feel worse.

Instead of complaining, you better look at yourself. Instead of complaining about the darkness, you should move forward into the light.

6. A wise man does not pretend to be profound and unfathomable.

The more deeply you understand a problem, the more you should know how to summarize and simplify it. People who like to appear profound and unfathomable when communicating only show their shallow intelligence.

In communication or work, wise people know the principle: "Simple is the best" - Less is more. All quintessence lies in simplicity.

In communication, brevity but ensuring effectiveness are factors that cannot be ignored.

7. A wise man does not boast.

Braggarts are often full of vanity. These people are usually very fond of showing off, but when given the opportunity to show off, they show that they are just empty vessels making a lot of noise.

A truly talented person always maintains a humble attitude. When they are determined to achieve something, they quietly do their work, absolutely not making a fuss to let others know.

They understand that talking too much can be a waste of time. Instead of being loud and boastful, they will work with certainty and become a trustworthy person.
