Day 66 of wisdom
“A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over.”
Benjamin Franklin.
Mistakes are a part of the human journey to the future, no one is immune to mistakes, in fact, we are allowed to make mistakes, because we learn more from mistakes than from success. While some mistakes can be easily forgotten, and forgiven, we may never get the opportunity to recover from some mistakes.
One of the mistakes we must always avoid as humans, is careless, and unbridled talks. Words they say, 'are like eggs', when broken, it can never be whole again, so, when you talk, those words of yours are out, and cannot be retrieved. So, you must be very careful, and think twice before you utter, or say any word.
The man who was regarded as the wisest that ever lived said, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love its use will eat its fruit." (Proverbs 18:21 NET). Your usage of your tongue, will determine the fruit you will eat, be it life, or death. Whatever you proclaim with your tongue, you will receive, sooner, or later.
The tongue is to the body (your life), what a rudder is to the ship, it directs it in the path where it is been turned, if you must arrive safely at your destination, you must use your tongue wisely.
Your tongue can either put you in trouble or rescue you from a difficult condition, Josh Billings once said, "the best time for you to hold your tongue is the time you feel you must say something or bust."
