W.A.I.T.
I’ve finished my jury duty! It wasn’t too bad. I spent of lot of time listening to dharma talks on my iPhone.
Here’s a little gem I picked up from a recent talk by Joseph Goldstein on Right Speech: Because so much of our speech is really pretty useless…. we’re not saying anything important, or helpful, or even anything particularly interesting… maybe whenever we find ourself going on and on about something, we could think of the acronym W.A.I.T. Which stands for: Why Am I Talking?
