How you respond says much about your outlook on life.

Peter was impetuous on one hand, and he received a blessing. But on the other hand? He said it wrong and was confronted. Several times.

Instead of blurting it out, why not count to 100 and think it through? Surely it’s worth a pregnant pause?

Think before you speak.

At all times, let your mind control your tongue.

Keep emotions in check.

Speaking off the cuff is way down there at the end of your arm.

The right kind of pause helps others know your intelligence!

Know how you will answer anyone for the hope you have within.

When you speak, don’t think you have to say everything is out now.

Finally, say just enough to keep others asking for more.
