Are you the kind of person who believes in less talk less mistakes....

I try not to speak too much either. People get very defensive to me or they do not hear a word I say anyway. I don't like to argue either but it is unfair for the conversation to be one sided. If someone starts to argue with me, I tell them what I think and then I am done. I have been through this many times and won't deal with people who cannot treat me with respect. They do not waste a second to tell me what they think about me to begin with.

I love to talk and talk lyn, provided I am allowed to speak....LOL! I believe that when I am sitting with someone, there should not be complete silence between us, either he/she should speak and I should listen or vice versa. I also do not believe in going in for arguments. I prefer to keep quite, if someone starts arguing with me. Good Post ! :):)

Yes. I really believe that it is better to talk less particularly when one is concentrating on the work. The work is most important and it needs all concentration. Whent the work is over, I am free to talk to anyone anywhere and for any length of time. That is one of the reasons I do not keep cell phone. IT is really a distraction. When I come home, I check the telephone for missed calls and I answer them peacefully. Perhaps most of my friends are aware that I do not entertain phone calls during working hours, so they prefer to call me at residence at a given time.

If there was, then I believe I could be one of them. I talk less in person, as a man of words could be described by me. I only get to talk more here on mylot, but I'm still careful of what comes out of my mouth.

Actually we should pay attention to the ways and the occations of speaking.When someone is busy with something or has a bad mood,we should try my best not to bother them.Don't break their thinking ,and try to give their enough time to concentrate on their things.Another situation,especially in office,we shouldn't speak something which are not related to work.As you said,"less talk,less mistakes"of course,when we are facing some problems about work,we should search for enough material and fully express our own opinions.at the same time,In order to prove our ability and pretect our profits. IN addition,it's very bad to argue with someone on public occation.we should really learn to endure something.

For me? I agree of what your doing. I tried to observed that to myself. Sometimes I do have more talks but it fell on something troubles on people around me. I think it's better if we should think deeper before we speak to person. Sometimes we didn't know what we were saying most of the time. it makes us on the edge of a hill.

i do agree with you to a certain extent. i hate arguing also

it something like that. sometimes i think its better to talk less. whenever you do not talk much, people wont find mistakes with you.But if you talk much, there can be problem. But its always have some exceptions.

Yes, I believe that most of the time it rings true. Especially for people who have the tendency to be tactless, it's really best to keep their words at a minimum. But in situations where you need to do a specific explanation and clearing up issues, I think those are the times that one has to do more talking.

It is true that the less you talk the less you will argue. however you risk that the other person believes that you agree with them on everything. So, sometimes it is good to argue your side of things. Sometimes it is not hahaah! I am not fond of arguing either, especially when the other party is unreasonable.

i usually talk a lot because i always think that whatever i feel, that is the real me.. and there's no way that a person could know me better than hearing things from me. so i air out my opinions without hesitation... but not to the point of arguing. i dont really like to argue. but being outspoken at times and being true to myself, sometimes i feel that my tongue cuts through a person's feelings. that is why, nowadays, i try to "lessen" my being outspoken-'ness' heheh. and i pray that i'm doin good at this.

Yeah, I agree with you in saying it depends on the situation. There is a saying that "your mouth is your tiger". You have to be able to control your mouth, otherwise it will gives you trouble. In other hand, there is certain situation that encourages us to talk much. For example, in the brainstorming, everyone is encouraged to give ideas as many as possible. It doesn't matter that the ideas are ridiculous or crazy. It's better to give many ideas though many of them is unusable, than give single good idea.
