If you want to be happy, exercise control of speech

There are many instructions in the Bible, Koran, Bhagavad Gita, and Hindu literature, that emphasize the importance of a controlled mouth. If you talk too much without control, you are really creating unhappy conditions in your life. Most unhappiness is caused by lack of control of your mouth. You say to yourself, “I wish I hadn’t said that. I spoiled everything. Couldn’t I have stopped for just one minute and taken it easy with my speech?” Even if you do not intend harm, you have already ruined everything with your big mouth.
 
If you want to be happy, exercise control over your mouth. Think ten times before speaking once. When you start talking, you may violate many laws without sensing it.
 
If you keep a diary, you will see that the most unhappy moments you create in your own life and the lives of your loved ones and friends are created through your big mouth.
