KNOWING WHEN TO SHUT UP

[Love Child]

I do. I've learned to just let people learn the truth themselves. Like my nephew. He was looking at $300k houses. I tried to tell him a few times that he wouldn't get a mortgage and that he should be looking for a more modest home. He had his heart set on a big house. So I let him look and try to get a mortgage. HE can't get a mortgage and now he is looking at town homes. He had to hear it from the professionals.

What did this have to do with someone who won't shut up? Sounds more like he won't listen.
I'm just sayin!
Unless he is bragging about it.

I have learned in court and some situations, less is more. Let them ask questions, answer only what they ask. Do not volunteer more information than they are asking. Listen, listen listen.
