Silence is Golden

Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.

The more you speak, the more you reveal how much you know, which unfortunately is usually not much ...lol.... Like the saying goes  : " silence is golden." Trick is to keep people guessing by keeping quiet. But how many people can do that?

Last week during meeting, our immediate Boss commit this mistake. The head of the department almost screamed at him. Truth is, no one wants to hear excuses. Our department didn't do well last quarter, we should just own it & promise to do better. Not make excuses. The immediate Boss do just that, worse he blame on us, the little people. The Head saw through that & told him off in front of us! Major embarrassment !
