There is a beautiful message in this quote by Swami Vivekananda – it is about personal development and self-improvement. This is based on the idea that all knowledge is internal.

Don’t Speak Unless You Can Improve Silence
The quote talks about the importance and weightage of words. Whether you are an introvert or an extrovert, you have your traits and skills that serve you. As an introvert, the audience generally pays more interest to what you’re saying. It is usually the other way round for an extrovert where they have to make their voice heard. It is both difficult and challenging for either of us to be heard and recognised. However, we have to use our traits for the best benefit. This quote reminds us the value and importance of silence in a conversation.

Not many people seem to be investing in actually being good. This is primarily because it would take more work to be a good person in the first place.
The first time I read it, I was very impressed. I thought—this is all about an individual figuring out their own path, without limitations like loyalty to a company or organisation. It echoed the principles of freedom, choice, and the ability to grow on your own terms.
The Future Belongs to Those Who Believe in the Beauty of Their Dreams: Let’s talk about Eleanor Roosevelt’s quote on dreams for the QOTD today. I love all these quotes that make us dream, challenge reality and go beyond what we see. I think the biggest difference in the world is made by these dreamers who have the sense to challenge what we see for what we don’t.
