Source | Lu Jie's Time
As the saying goes, illness comes from the mouth, misfortune comes from the tongue. People who speak without restraint may easily bring unnecessary trouble upon themselves.
Speaking is a science, speaking is simple, but knowing how to speak is not simple.
Smart people know what to say and what not to say, and they never say these five things for a lifetime.

Optimistic people don't complain easily and don't say pessimistic words, they always have confidence in the future.
Who's life doesn't encounter a few hurdles?
Those who, when encountering difficulties, feel a bleak future, give up effort and growth, it's hard for them to live the life they envisioned.
No matter when, people cannot lose hope, if there's no hope, there's no effort; if there's effort, there's hope.
Life besides death and life is just small matters. Don't trouble yourself with any worries.
Even if life is difficult and bitter, complaining doesn't solve any problems. Instead, organize your mood and start over.

There's a proverb: 'People with integrity don't do shady things, honest people don't lie.'
Not telling lies is a basic moral cultivation of a person, a person who is honest will not deceive anyone, and actions done, don't need to be concealed.
Once someone tells a lie, they find it hard to stop.
In order to maintain the lie, they have to make more lies, so they will sink deeper and deeper into the mire of lies.Be a honest person, don't tell lies, do practical things, and treat people with sincerity.
03

Hardworking people don't boast
Truly capable people are high-profile in their actions and low-key in their character.
When they've made up their minds to do something, they do it quietly, without making a fuss.
Because they know it's better to do things solidly rather than talk big.
Be a person with self-awareness, don't boast, don't brag, be a practical person.

Sincere people don't flatter
Flattering others excessively will make them look down on you; unrealistic praise will make others feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, every compliment should come from the heart, not just to please others.Life is not easy, don't do things that please others or say things that please others just to survive. Live your true self, otherwise it's a waste of a lifetime.
Sincerity brings true feelings, avoid flattery, don't deliberately seek favor or praise.
Don't be a person who caters to others' expectations, be yourself.

Wise people don't gossip

Seeing and not saying is wisdom, a simple heart, a foolish mind.
A wise person would rather remain silent than talk about the affairs of others.
If you can manage yourself well, why bother talking about others?
Walk your own path, don't talk about others' privacy, don't discuss others' actions, don't say bad things about others.
Too many words, wish you can be a person who can control what you say!
