Think BEFORE You Speak....

I just read a great quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, a former First Lady. " Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people." I am almost certain that none of us desires to be known as SHALLOW. Yet, many times we lower ourselves to that category without even thinking twice.
So how do we stop this problem? How do we stand up and lead others out of gossip and back to the truth?
The answer is easier said than done, we simply think BEFORE we speak.
You know that old saying..."sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"...... I dont believe it !!!!
Have a good day,
