Introduce Yourself
Try being silent then. You'll probably notice that people want to talk to you more.
Thats a good one. Thats more of what the wise man one is about and what I was trying to get at. It's like all those people who don't have dreads and know nothing about them and they see you have them and they come up to you and tell you how you should do them and stuff then you just look at them and smile
Spider Feet said:To paraphrase Mark Twain(I think...): It's better to not speak and let people think you are stupid than to speak and remove all doubt.
Cody Pitt said:Thats really good. It reminds me of a quote in the Tao Te Ching. I don't know it word for word but it's something like this. "A wise man does not speak, an unwise man speaks". A wise man does not need to speak to be wise learning his knowledge through his actions and life experiences. An unwise man speaks pretending to know knowledge as he has yet to learn from his actions and life experiences. For some reason your understanding reminded me of this so I thought I would put it up
Spider Feet said:I'd see it as saying that there is no real way to know what you are going to confront in your life or how you react until you come to it and that wisdom through whatever situations you come across in life is more important than knowledge.
