Ask yourself why you feel the need to get the last word, or be right? Ask yourself how important a topic is and gauge your audience, do they really need to hear about what your going to say for the next few minutes? Many times something that is said was never said with the forethought that a response would even happen.

Often times people are having emotional conversations, not factual conversations, it can be hard to tell the difference.

You learn the most when your mouth is not moving.
