Quotes:
Much talking is the cause of danger. Silence is the means of avoiding
misfortune. The talkative parrot is shut up in a cage. Other birds,
without speech, fly freely about.

My Thoughts:
Talkative reminds me of my little Sister Tookie. She is always talking. Our background chatter. She loves to have a conversation and tell you what she thinks about things. Being talkative is good and bad. We don't want to talk peoples ears off but we want to have a voice. I think that watching your level of talking is a very good idea.
Like it says in Pilgrims Progress, we must practice what we preach. We can't just talk and talk and talk and listen a little without ever doing and acting.
