It is a truism that no-one is more interested in what we have to say than ourselves. On the contrary, it is a common misapprehension that the more you say the more influential you are being. It ain’t necessarily so. As so often in life, less is often more.
As the great Roman stoic Seneca said:
It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence.
Enough said.
