So it won't just be a gossip...
Or fake news
Or that can misunderstanding us.
As it stated we should think before we speak what is lingering in our thought. If we think it first, we will realize if it will bring better impact to the people or can chaos or trigger quarrel among us.
Sometimes we are careless to what we speak because we just utter it without even thinking if it hurt feelings of the receiver.
Think... before we speak.

Yes, we should all do that. Sometimes it is very hard to do though with certain people, because they are very good at pushing our buttons.

I have learned to be quiet and let other people run their mouths and make rear end out of themselves.

will it build goodwill and better friendships? 4. will it be beneficial to all concerned? i learned later on it was from the rotary club.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do is a test used by Rotarians world-wide as a moral code for personal and business relationships. The test can be applied to almost any aspe

You are very right and I wish there were times I would not put my foot in my mouth, but, after it gets out there it is gone. I feel bad afterwards unless the person deserved what I said.

True. If you were to say something and you know its nothing good and helpful, then might as well keep it yourself.
