Do You Say Too Much?

“Sure that we can talk, as long as we don’t say too much.” That’s one of my favorite mafia movie quotes worth mentioning. Often people have the bad habit to share too much. More than enough details or more than enough personal opinions and feelings can make more harm than good.

A piece of Dale Carnegie’s best advice of all time is to praise publicly and criticize silently. Nobody likes to be condemned or criticized in front of others, nor to be commented behind his own back.

So if you’re willing to maintain positive relationships, pay detailed attention to what you say. Talk freely without saying too much.
