A long time ago I heard this proverb, I do not know who said it for the first time but I will share it with you:
"The fool's heart is in his mouth and the wise man's mouth is in his heart."
This proverb I like a lot, educates the individual in his speech, because the verb builds but also destroys ... I think it is our duty to be prudent when speaking, we earn much more by learning than saying and not saying in different situations.
Take care of your words, because they open and close doors, they are an important part of your cover letter.
