6 Ways Power of Silence Can Improve Your Life:

1.Never defend yourself;
"If anyone tells you that such a person speaks ill of you, don't make excuses about what is said of you, but answer: He does not know my other faults; else, he would not have mentioned only these."

- Epictetus
• Weak people hide their flaws and show off their strengths
• Wise people boast about their flaws without showing off their strengths.
Don't let your ego blind you.

2.Never complain ;
"Don't be overheard complaining, not even to yourself"
- Marcus Aurelius.

• Complaining is the simplest and most ineffective thing to do.If you have the ability to change a situation, do so. If it isn't, shift your viewpoint.The mind gives up and surrenders before the body. Stoic virtues include endurance, perseverance, and composure.

3.Don't Tell Them, Show Them;
"Waste no time arguing how a good man should be. Be one"
- Marcus Aurelius

• What you do, not what you say you'll do, determines your level of success.Convince through your actions, not your words.

4.Learn to Respond, Not React;
"I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue; he approaches nearest to gods who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right."
· Cato The Elder

• How one reacts to hostility is a strong evidence of wisdom.
• Maintain a cool, calm, and collected demeanor at all times.Never allow anyone the power to make you angry.

5.Be Careful of What You Say;
"Be silent, or let thy words be worth more than silence."
- Pythagoras

• send no time engaging in celebrity gossip, backbiting, or childish fights.

6.Sit still.
"All of man's problem arises from his inability to sit in a quiet room alone."
- Pascal

• Overindulging in screen activities dulls the mind. Learn to be content with boredom; you don't always need to be stimulated.
