Why Silence is Your Greatest Weapon

Silence is the ultimate weapon of power. Charles de Gaulle

The one who talks too much speaks less truth.

Those who prefer to be silent land themselves in the safer zone.

Silent people know that they will not be brought into conversations that may be harmful to them.

They keep silent to show integrity.

Do you know that silence is also a communication tool?

In fact, the best way to communicate is to keep silent.

You can make your point better just by staying silent.

Silence can convey many messages, and it is one of the best communicational arts that everyone should practise.

When we keep quiet, that other person gets the message that we are intensely interested in what is being said.

But being silent is not always easy; you might need a lot of practice and self-control.

How is silence a powerful tool?

Silence is like a sword.

silence is like  asowrd

It is a very powerful communicational tool.

The more we keep silent, the more we understand and learn about the people around us.

We fully absorb what is being said and also get time to prepare for the reply.

When we look into the eyes of a loved one, the eyes speak more deeply than words.

No poetic words in the world can compete with the conversation a loved one does with the eyes.

So we can say that silence touches the heart of the person more intensely than words.

Silence is not a language; its a weapon to make your dear one feel.” William Shakespeare.

Before we start practising the art of silence, it is very important to know that your silence should be meaningful.

Being silent in a meaningful way will strengthen our lives, but to do so, we need to do it in a proper way.

You will be surprised to know that there are two types of silence; let us see what they are:

 

Benefits of using silence as a weapon

Using silence as a powerful weapon means that you will avoid all the uncomfortable and difficult conversations.

This way, all your conversations will end with much better results.

This will make your relationships much more productive.

If the other person talks to you in anger, you will be able to calm him down more quickly by remaining silent.

“The reason silence is so powerful is that it gives everyone a moment to process what is being said, regulate emotions and form a response.”

 

The right way to be silent

When silence is used as a weapon, it can wound even more than words. ~ Jill Thrussell

The right way to being silent must be implemented in your life; only then your value and respect will be increased.

Let me give you some examples of where you should remain silent:

• When you don’t have all the knowledge and facts about the situation, it is better to be silent.

• When you have no clue about what’s going on around you, be silent.

• When you feel the urge to shout at someone, it is best to remain silent.

• When you feel that you’re angry now and you’re not feeling normal, try to be silent.

• When you sense that other people around you have no intention of listening to you and they have no interest in your conversation, be silent.

• When you are not involved in the discussion, and no one asks you to be a part of what’s been discussed, remain silent.

• When the other person is telling you something, he is talking in a flow, remains silent and listen carefully, let him finish before you talk.

In the above situations, use few words and more actions, and master your skill of how much you should speak and when you should speak.

And also, remember your silence should be meaningful.

To remain silent can be the best health decision for your mind, soul and body.

Just by remembering that you need to practice it daily, you can only master this art of silence.

As I already mentioned, silence is a great way to show your strength, so you definitely keep your silence where needed and speak where you think is necessary.

 

The wrong way of being silent

Silence is a powerful weapon.

But sometimes, it’s not okay to be silent.

Silence is a two-way sword.

If you remain silent in the right situation, you use the weapon in the right way.

But at the same time, if you remain silent in a situation where it is necessary to talk, you use the weapon in the wrong way.

Silence is a great way to show your strength, but sometimes, silent people are regarded as weak and ineffective.

Let me share some examples with you about when to speak and not just remain silent.

• Do not keep silent when you are asked for your opinion.

• Speak up when you feel that there’s a need to defend yourself.

• When you feel that there’s a need to defend your friends and family, speak up.

• When you’re sure that what you’re going to say is completely on point, convey your point.

• When you have all the facts with you, and what you’re going to say is totally reasonable, then you should definitely speak.

• If your opinion is worth sharing, then you should speak.

• If your opinion affects you and your family, then you should speak.

 

Hide your next move

Never let your opponents or your enemies know what your next move will be.

People may be jealous of your progress in life and may also give negative remarks that may discourage you.

It is good to keep silent in such situations.

Not everyone will get happy with success and progress in their life.

It will be foolish to share everything with people who dislike you.

You may not know who your well-wisher is and who is fake.

The comments of people who dislike you and act fake in front of you will disturb you.

This can simply be their way of putting you down with their negative remarks.

 

Vow of silence

“Silence is the best weapon to use when you are around idiots.”

You should keep silent whenever you’re entering a new phase of life or starting a new project.

Keep your goals a secret.

This may sometimes be very difficult, but this is what’s going to work for you.

People should see your actions instead of listening to your plans.

When your opponents see your success with their eyes, your success will speak louder than your words.

Remember, the negativity people spread when they are jealous of your plans will affect your plans and your motivation level.

Eventually leading to failure.

So, take a vow of silence and keep your mouth shut.

Let your actions speak.

 

Conclusion

Silence is the greatest weapon, just like a sword.

Your silence speaks louder than your words, so opt for silence for over-talking.

No words can express your love, hatred, anger and other emotions than your silence.

It’s better when some words are left unsaid.

You’ll be surprised to know that you can convey your point better just by staying silent.

Another person feels better when you hear him in complete silence.

You also understand things better, observe better and prepare for your stance better when you prefer being silent.

So, learn the art of using silence as a powerful weapon.
