Speak What You Follow And Follow What You Speak

Speaking is not bad. In fact, it is a boon to us, which helps us communicate so easily. But it is a boon only till it is truthful. If it is not truthful, if you do not speak truth, your words fall as curse on the society, your listeners.

I mean to say that one should speak only those things that he/she has experienced and found right. If you have not tried something, you must give detail about where have you received the idea from? When you do not give reference then the listeners conceives the idea as your discovery and all the responsibility of his/her success or failure fall upon you. When you give reference, you force the listeners to use their intellect to check the applicability and rationality of the idea, with an unsaid declaration that you have not tried it.

I just want you to speak what you follow and follow what you speak. I have met people who can speak so nicely that you will be completely blown away but they do not want to be asked whether they themselves follow the same or not.

You cannot change anyone before you change yourself. Your personality and lifestyle has a much intense effect than your words on others. But your words do matter and hence should be taken care of.
