Something to think about,.. don't stir the pot as it may be you that lands in it...I had this thought as I was about to give someone a mouthful, so I walked away.

Both these quotes give one the opportunity to reflect on past behavior and to ponder on present and future behavior...good stuff!!
360642Good on you. Sometimes it's so hard to keep quiet. I try to keep in mind - If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. xx

I will made a poster for my classroom adding "before you type....."
My tongue hurts because I bite it a lot, and at the same time I am counting to 200.
Thanks for the inspiration!

158716Yes but sometimes it is so hard not to answer to some persons ;-D
From time to time I have to sit on my fingers to prevent me from writing comments *lol*
Always try to act with the nice saying from the movie Bambi in my mind: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all...
Greetings, Bettina

33986I had not heard this saying before. Thanks for posting it. I will add it to the things I think about before I speak or type.
I always try to remember that if I give someone "a piece of my mind" (a saying -- meaning telling someone exactly what you think) then eventually, I will have "lost my mind" (a saying -- meaning crazy) entirely.

19823I'm learning. And it isn't easy for a big mouth like me. But it feels so good after you've done something like that.

33871If we take the time to think about what is said and wait until we have thought about it for 24 hours, we may be able to comment without any feelings being hurt. As there are many different countries with Cuties, sometime the language translation may be entirely different. Hugs to all.
