Say It Quiet

Why holler or shout
    Why scream or cry out

  What good will it do to start a riot
    Stand your ground ~ but say it quiet

One of my bosses told me, If people think you might have something worthwhile to say, speak softly and they will strain to hear your words.

Such GREAT advice your boss gave you, Ann... And if a teacher can make it work, it's a real godsend... Thanks for the feedback, Gershon

it would seem that as usual...THE SQUEAKY WHEEL GETS THE GREASE...and THE LOUDEST VOICE "WINS" or at least keeps on shouting

Turn up the shouting aid on your bullhorn, John. I can't hear you!
