You probably know someone who likes to talk all the time, who loves to be the center of attention. He (or she) feels the need to be in the spotlight because - deep inside - he believes his real "self" is not smart enough to be recognized without a sort of fanfare, a showy outward display of his alleged skill or knowledge. The fact that every human being is equipped with one mouth and two ears should be proof enough that it would be better for us to listen more than talk. Besides, thoughts and opinions are supposed to be shared, not imposed. And, finally, if you tend to talk more than the others, are you sure that what you are saying is really interesting, useful or even just amusing?
