Leave a little to the imagination

Some people can't help but tell you everything they know, or at least everything they think they know. And, I know that I am a talker - a TALKER. I have shared before that I don't really need a subject, I just need an audience.

But, you know the type. You want to talk about football? They'll talk football, knowing nothing about it. You want to talk brain surgery? They'll talk brain surgery, not even knowing how to spell cerebral. You want to talk Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? They will talk helium balloons with the best of them. Reminds me of the old adage, "Best to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."

Today's word is going to cover this aspect and another that we will get into in a moment. Today's word is a quote from William Shakespeare, which says, "Have more than you show, speak less than you know."

I think that is pretty good advice. So many people today will purchase something new and post it on some social media, just tempting people to take it or damage it. Some will go so far as to tell you that they are on vacation and no one is home, just giving you an open invitation to go to their house and remove what they are posting. It's best to keep that stuff to yourself.

Another point is not showing everything. It seems that some people are bent on letting everyone else see "everything" they have. Look, leave a little to the imagination. There's no need to show everything you've got. And, if you ever want to discuss the difficulties of climbing Mt. Everest, look me up - I'm an expert.

Be Blessed,
