Silence can be gold

There are multiple occasions in my life that I wish I did not open my not-so-small mouth and say something that I regretted later. In retrospect, sometimes it is better to “take the fifth” and make no comments on the spot. Alternatively, saying “let me get back to you” or requesting for more time to reply may be considered as well. Just remember sometimes (not always) that silence is the best answer at that moment.
