hi friends.

a dear friend and colleague just shared a pearl with me and i want to pass
it on to all of you.

Silence is the measure of the power to act; that is, a person never has more
power to act than he has silence. Anyone can understand that to do something
is far greater than to talk about doing it. If, therefore, a person has a
plan or idea and is fully resolved to carry it out, he does not need to talk
about it. What he talks about in connection with the proposed action is what
he is most unsure of and most unwilling to do. Soren Kierkegaard
