Day 1 Virtue : Silence




Silence is a very important role in someone’s life with silence a lot could be accomplished. A great man by the name of Benjamin Franklin once quoted,' This being acquired and established, Silence would be more easy; and my desire being to gain knowledge at the same time that I improved in virtue, and considering that in conversation it was obtained rather by the use of the ears than of the tongue, and therefore wishing to break a habit I was getting into prattling, punning, and joking, which only made me acceptable to trifling company, I gave Silence the second place''. I was once in that position just consecutively gossiping about other people, hurting their feelings saying thing that weren’t true. When I could be a respectable being by flattering them and by encouraging them brightening their day. Also by making them happy about themselves .
The success and failure I have with this virtue is that you passing dishonest gossips you will under no circumstances have friends. People will not be open around you people would avoid you, because you run your mouth with dishonest statement. Unlike being in that situation if you kept a positive approach, saying and making positive remarks more people will be open too you trusting you . Also more friends will come and stay .
