Say less than you want to. You’ll almost never regret the thing you didn’t say. The clever joke, the correction nobody needed, the opinion you weren’t asked for- most of it is useless. The wait before speaking is where most regret gets avoided. People rarely come home wishing they’d spoken more. They wish they had shut up a bit. Don't let your mouth cost you.

i have gotten in a lot of trouble with my mouth over the years but i dont think i can say that i have ever truly regretted saying something that i shouldnt have. i feel more regret when i should have said something and didnt. and this may just be my weird take on life but why care? no one is going to speak up for you better than you. no one is going to stand by your side more than you. why let others determine what you can and cant say. now this obviously comes with limitations. i dont believe in harming others with words just because you can but others shouldnt dictate what you do.
