9. When you're about to make a major purchase, shut your mouth.
Stop telling everybody you're about to buy land, a car, or a house.
Some people will discourage you.
Others will start calculating your money.
Make your decisions privately.
8. When someone underestimates you, shut your mouth.
Stop explaining your potential to people who have already decided you're nothing.
You don't owe everybody proof.
Let your results embarrass their assumptions.
7. When you have nothing valuable to contribute, shut your mouth.
You don't have to comment on everything.
You don't have to win every argument.
You don't have to prove you're the smartest man in the room.
Learn to be comfortable knowing things without announcing them.
6. When you're surrounded by people who love gossip, shut your mouth.
The same people telling you everybody's business will tell everybody yours.
Don't mistake being included in gossip for being trusted.
Listen carefully. Reveal little.
5. When someone trusts you with their secrets, shut your mouth.
A man who cannot keep confidential information cannot be trusted with serious responsibilities.
Stop using people's private struggles as entertainment.
Your mouth should be a safe place.
4. When you're planning your next big move, shut your mouth.
Nobody needs to know what you're building before it's ready.
Talking about your goals can give you the satisfaction of achievement without doing the work.
Execute first. Explain later.
3. When your relationship is going through problems, shut your mouth.
Stop inviting outsiders into every disagreement with your woman.
Some people giving you advice secretly want your relationship to fail.
Not every argument needs an audience.
2. When you're angry, shut your mouth.
Anger will make you say things your sober mind would never approve of.
One sentence can destroy a relationship, a career, or years of respect.
Control your tongue before it controls your life.
• Not everybody needs to know you're winning.
• Your new income.
• Your next move.
• Your plans.
Some people are only comfortable with you when you're struggling.
@slattdye@WesleyUnleashed I like this deal, but I really hope they properly develop Li’Marcus Jones, Coderro McDaniel, Zaquan Linton, Jayin Talib, or this is going to be the reason Lebby gets the boot. It’s useless to have a talented QB behind an underdeveloped OL.
