Do you think before you speak?

Hi my my lot friend you remind of my school days when my english teacher used to say this sentence every day before continuing with the chapter that always think before you say as it will help you be a good person in your life and if you will think before you say anything no wrong words will be spoken out and yeah i do followed this till today but sometimes i speak something which hurts the other person and sometimes the words spoken out from my mouth in hurry .But yeah one must think before he says as it will help him a lot in his entire life.

If i am not angry i will think. When i feel bad i will say what i want. It is not good, but i can not control it. Maybe i should do some exercise to train my patience. I learn to do Yoga.

I try to think before i speak although... I don't often have much success and I don't really say anything that i might regret as much as speaking too fast so I might be dismissed as rambling on about nothing in general... I try to work on that too but it has almost become habitual...

Hi Borg, I always think in advance before speaking. i even give myself a time to role play a dialogue and even answer my own question how it will create an impact to me or how it will be handled by the receiver... this gives me the idea of how the dialogue will run. i am so careful in speaking particularly in my tone of voice. i hate offending people but i am frank with my words. So, i think before i speak!

We all knows that thinking be4 speaking is good but not everyone can actually make it. I try to do it and sometimes I fail. When I am nervous or angery, even I try to or do think before speaking, wrong words still come out of my mouth.

yes, if not then what is my mind for if i never use it gt to be dull if not used frequently. It is like a preparation and i think many times if their is a crucial decision needed and if the need is need to rush then i am a quick thinker too..

O(n_n)O haha~ I'm a franky man ,what i say is what i think,so always offend sombody.

actually we all need to think things carefully before we show our opinion out but most of the time we may lose the head and just said words like stupid to hurt others and make the things become more difficulties. if we always keep the head cool and think before we speak. then the less trouble we will get.

Hi borg246, Most times I think before I speak, sometimes their are things that come out of my mouth that I wish I could take back but once their said you can't, even if you didn't mean it. Once you've said it, even if you regret it you've probably hurt someones feelings in some sort of way. My mom always told me growing up to think before you speak because it's the smart thing to do but I know many people who don't and I've noticed it time and time again. I can see being blunt and speaking the truth which a lot of times is the right thing to do, lying is wrong and also is sugar coating things but some are too blunt about things and don't think first. I'd rather someone tell me the truth, especially if I'm going to find out the truth anyways. So I would say I do think before I speak, I hate regretting things.

hai borg i always think before speak, even at the bad situations. For me i have a motto, use your mouth carefully, because it can be danger to other people and yourself

Yes I think before I speak so that I can stress out the answer that is needed but sometimes when I feel so angry, disappointed I always talk my heart out without even thinking about it. I don't care even if it hurts the person that I am refering to but I always keep my words & stand to what I said for I know I am resposible for such action.

We were trained in law school to think first to come up with a firm and convicing arguments before we speak. Well that is especially designed in court trials. Sometimes, we can not afford not to speak first before we think in times of heated arguments, abrupt conversation, anger, and half cooked discussions. Nothing is wrong in speaking first before thinking very well, but we have to face all the consequences if in case in the end, we find our selves regretting for our own words uttered, so better yet, compose it well within the bounds of our thoughts first to avoid trouble.

hi.. earlier i never used to think before speaking.but things used to go vey bad coz of this habbit of mine.i started learning from my mistakes n now i'v realised that its always better to think twice before you say anything.n thats what i do.it has helped me alot in all aspects of life.

I always think before I speak. At early age I learned that I must think before I say something because I might cause misunderstandings and also to avoid hurting others. I was taught that thinking before speaking will result to good manners. But human is bound to makes mistakes, there are some things in life that we can not control. We sometimes say hurtful words without realizing it at first. But what important is we are willing to say sorry and sincere to our apologies.

Hi there! I normally think before I could speak because if I don't think, appropriate words won't come out. It is always think before speaking because once we have said something it is difficult to retrieve the same, like an arrow from a bow. It is also said that 'words are our slaves, till we utter them and we become slaves of our words, once we have spoken them'. I keep this dictum in mind, while saying or commenting on any topic. Good post!

Idealy, we should all think first before we put things in word. If everybody do that, hurting others feelings will be avoided. No more quarrel for all the words are being filtered. We can say and express what we want clearly without hurting much others feelings. We must process all the details first in our minds before we speak. Yes, I think first before I speak, but sometimes out of strong feelings and emotions I have slip of the tongue too...

For me spontaneity is the spice of life My spontaneous thoughts turn out the best although it may seem that I do not think before I speak. No one can do that as thoughts are the ones that we speak out but rethinking is what perhaps might change what we speak.

Hi borg246. Personally i don't really know what i normally do. Anyway, i can say that its pretty random. I usually don't think before i speak if i am talking to a friend or a family member, but if its usually to someone that i don't know, i usually think before i speak. I am more open with people i know, but i am afraid when it comes to sharing my thoughts with people i don't know. This is because what you say shows who and what you are. Anyways, that is what i truly think and do. Happy mylotting!

Sometimes, I actually speak without thinking.

of course everyone wil think before speaking.lol..i know what you meant.i would rather call it 'rethink'. on any occasion it makes things go good when you rethink before you speak,for commonly people speak subconciously,which may lead some mistakes or misunderstanding. for me it is a easy work to do,just rethink and be prudent before anything is dripped with. also,i have to ensure the fluency
