...self reminder IV

another self reminder...Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (R) relates that the Holy Prophet (P) said: "a Muslim never taunts or curses or abuses nor resorts to vulgar talking." (Tirmidhi)...i think the best lesson here is to listen...being more of a listener than a talker is always a better choice...good listeners often have better observations of the surrounding environment than active talkers, hence are more careful when they talk...i have to admit that it's really hard to resist the temptation to talk and give opinions...i sometimes face the same problem but i believe one should always try harder to change to become a better human being insyaAllah...i always admire people who talk wisely using carefully chosen words...remember the old days when i kept a small notebook to note down those interesting words and phrases...
