Sometimes All it Takes is a Wink

We have all learned tough lessons when words we are guilty of speaking are taken out of context and repeated. Gaining self-control of the tongue is one of life’s most difficult tasks.

I recently read a quote by former Speaker of the House Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill that serves as a good reminder when it comes to the nuances of communication.

"Never write when you can speak. Never speak when you can whisper. Never whisper when you can nod. Never nod when you can wink."
