speaking

Women speak because they wish to speak, whereas a man speaks only when driven to speak by something outside himself-like, for instance, he can't find any clean socks.

That speaking the words, even if true, had little power to change the inevitable or even make him feel much better.

Only by speaking out can we create lasting change. And that change begins with coming out.

When a person pauses in mid-sentence to choose a word, that's the best time to jump in and change the subject! It's like an interception in football! You grab the others guy's idea and run the opposite way with it! The more sentences you complete, the higher your score! The idea is to block the other guy's thoughts and express your own! That's how you win!Conversations aren't contests!Ok, a point for you, but I'm still ahead.

The world is shaped by two things _ stories told and the memories they leave behind.

Sometimes words I think are small come out big.

Speak to me: I will spend my lifetime trying to understand you.

Some people say they have 20 years experience, when in reality, they have 1 year's experience repeated 20 times. (Stephen M R Covey to Richie Norton when Norton asked if he was too young to train older executives for Covey.)

Thus I spoke, more and more softly; for I was afraid of my own thoughts and the thoughts behind my thoughts.

Influence is when you don't talk and yet your words fill the room when you are absent and yet your presence is felt everywhere.

Be silent & you are considered on idiot. Be voluble & you are considered a nuisance. The perfect balance between speaking and remaining silent makes you a gentleman!

To say nothing is saying something. You must denounce things you are against or one might believe that you support things you really do not.

The more you know, the less you talk. The less you talk, the more you know.

An excerpt from:__ypothetically Speaking__yAnthony T. Hincks(A book about you and the world _ coming soon!)If I was a savvy person, I would watch, and study mankind in order to find out where his weaknesses lay.Greed, for sure; vanity; mistrust; a tendency towards violence; fanaticism, and many other less than honorable traits and even some honorable ones which could also be used, and capitalized on.Then, once I had found his weaknesses I would act.I and some friends or family, not terms that I would usually use but ones that are more commonly used here on Earth, would start an empire.Months _ Years - Millennium Who cares, for time is on my side, not yours!I would sow mistrust; magic; wisdom; knowledge, and start many religions.Why many religions?Because where would the fun be by just having one, when with a whole handful you can sow hatred; do unspeakable acts all in the name of religion. That__ a lot more fun, and, besides which, it suits my purposes.Innovation _ Invention _ Intelligence All of those things would come, but only at a time of my choosing.Decades would pass and then centuries. Wars would be fought. He against him. He against her. She against him. They against others.I tell you, watching something come to fruition is a hell of a lot of fun.

We have a government that, generally speaking, does not respond to the people.

Generally speaking, a howling wilderness does not howl: it is the imagination of the traveler that does the howling.

I do have to travel a lot for speaking engagements.

The distance between your Dreams and Reality is inversely proportional to your Efforts.
