My Mouth Learn To Shut-Up: Wisdom Advice

My mouth, learn to shut-up (Wisdom Advice) 

My mouth, learn to shut-up. 
It is time to listen. 
There is time to murmur. 
There is time to keep quite. 

When you are ask to talk,
#You run marathon faster than Frenkie Fredrick.
When you are ask to explain,
#You read books and novel from your head.

What if asked for advice,
#Ooh no, you explore the enclopedia map first.
When one look for directions,
#Soo!!! You take them for a City Tour.

What make you tick?
Are you out to prove a point?
What do you see that others cannot see?
What do you hear that others don't?

#Sharing is caring .
#The world is so hungry for fresh logic.
#People see, yet can not see.
#People hear, yet hear less.

How will one make them see? 
What will make them hear?

#It is to stop talking and listen.
#It is not all about one mouth.
