Talk Less

Each day I am going to list one of Robert Green's 48 Laws Of Power. I'd like to hear your personal experiences related to THIS law where you were the one observing the law in action, utilizing the law or the one on the other end. Today let's look at: Law Four - ALWAYS SAY LESS THAN NECESSARY When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you're saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.
