Speaking less will give you more power. #robertgreene #tuesdaymotivation #tuesday #robertgreenebooks #jordanbelfort #wolfofwallstreet #fyp #tiktok

By talking too much in a meeting or in any kind of situation, you make people inadvertently smell weakness on you. A lot of communication between humans is nonverbal. We feel we sense something from you and it communicates and we have an impression. And people who talk a lot generally give an impression of they don't know how to control themself. Whereas people who kind of say a little bit less kind of speak in riddles almost, say, "Yeah, that's great, I'll think about it," or whatever, gives off an impression of power as if they know more than they actually do. Because the game of power, a lot of it has to do with appearances. So I studied, you know, for writing the book, some of the most powerful people in history, kings and CEOs and presidents, and inevitably they had that quality, or they knew how to control their tongue. The other thing is if you talk too much, you're going to inevitably say something stupid.
