1. General Rule: Make silence your default state. Only speak when you must, and keep it brief.


2. Refrain from talking about trivial topics like sports, food, or gossip.


3. In general, avoid speaking about other people to praise or blame them.


4. If you are among unfamiliar people, practice quiet observation rather than forced small talk.


5. Remember: Speaking less saves energy, prevents foolish mistakes, and keeps your inner peace intact.
