Pride

I used to pride myself for being an “action oriented” person. I was critical of people who have perceived to have the gift of chatter and was full of empty promises, who talked loud and did nothing. A staunch believer in the old proverb “actions speak louder than word,” I often remained silent and feigned to just to what I was supposed to.

I was wrong! In my conceit, I blinded myself to the power of words… and to own timidity, I am slowly learning that there are times when talking is more appropriate than “silent witnessing.”
