Over spring break I had a very productive week in Flordia! On the ride down and back i finished all my homewrok, and while i was there i learned about paying it forward!"
It's not my fault that people are JUST finding out about the benefits of silence. I thought it was supposed to come naturally but I guess it takes... practice?
ReplyDeleteI would add that... silence keeps you focused, and therefore can help you reach certain goals.

I think a thing about silence is that it can bring insanity. I could never imagine living without sounds, or any kind of noise, obviously some people can because some people are deaf but i think it would one of the hardest things to do.

I think it helps the people who likes to read the book not every body. I would say that it helps to know the passed history how the silence was.-Nelson Mandela
ReplyDeleteSilence is important at all times. Even when there is noise all about you if you are calm and silent within, you can see things and understand things that others cannot.
ReplyDeleteSilence helps concentrate and be aware of your task. It is important on the job and in school when it is need the most.
ReplyDeleteYou can concentrate more when its quiet and your hair is clear, and you can think clearly.

Its eaasier for you to concentrate when theres silence around you and your more aware of what your doing. Its also easier to learn when its quiet so you can understand whats being taught.
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for Prochnik's book to come out since his interview about it. :D
ReplyDeleteSilence is important, I agree, but it can also be just as destructive as it is positive.
Silence is very important it hepls you talk to ur soul and understand why things around you are happening the way they are( everything happens for a reason)...and sometimes silence is louder then words....and most of the time silence is just relaxing...
ReplyDeleteSilence...I'm kinda scared of it.
ReplyDeleteUsually when there is complete silence theres like an impending storm ready to burst forth.
Then again silence is nice because then its the blank noise that makes everything better when for example everything has gone really really Xinfinity bad.
I believe that silence is the best way to clear your head and get away from all the drama. You need it to help you make importaint well thought out choices. It also creats a happier invrionment for you to live in so that your not livinng in such a stressful way all the time. I honestly dont think I coulf live without silence and time to myself without going absolutely nuts.

I feel everyone needs some silence in their life sometimes because when you are silent many around you as well as yourself may pick up the smallest details that are important. I would add actually LISTEN!!! when you are silent...
ReplyDeleteSilence is important when I'm going my homework and when I really don't understand it so it have to be quite when I'm thinking.
ReplyDeleteSilence huh? No comments on this one because this is more of a religious act, the way i think of it. I think it is more religious because you're being slient for a reason, it may go against religious thoughts or not.

Silence,although sometimes awkward, is very important. It gives you a chance to have a conversation with yourself. When your mouth is open, usually your ears are not,so in order for one to truly listen, there needs to be a point of silence.I like there to be silence when I am in deep thought.
ReplyDeleteSilence is sometimes a good thing even though it can be werid at times,but it makes things easy.When you sit down and in silence you have a chance to think.when Im not around my friends and its silent I think and thats where I do most of my writing
ReplyDeletei think that silence will make a really a big difference if we use in a right way.
ReplyDeleteSilence is a good thing sometime. Silence can help you understand what you are doing and help you relax.
ReplyDeletei would add the silence gives a chance to listen and observe your surroundings. why because you need silence sometimes in order to function to listen to directions to listen to someone speak.. Silence is important to me when i need someone to listen to me and i am listening to my inner most thoughts.
ReplyDelete-jordan wallace
i would add that another importance of silence is it help you stay focused and complete goals, and that it can keep stress off your mind from to much going on at 1 time.
ReplyDeleteSilence is good sometimes when you have a headache or when you just want to think about stuff..Silence can be really awkward at times..I only like silence when i want to think about stuff and i dont like it when im working on homework or when im trying to ignore annoying people..
ReplyDeletesilence keeps you focused, and therefore can help you reach certain goals.=D
ReplyDeletesilence is very good it helps you to learn better on your own if needed to.......
ReplyDeleteI dont really like silence, but when im stressed out or mad silence helps me think clearly and calm me down .

Silence would help lot of people who like to pay attention they could listen better and think better it helps a lot to focus on what u need to focus. I cant do be silence I have to talk but there is people who could do it and those people who doesnt like to talk a lot or likes to read lot. The only time I could be silence or silence helps me when I am mad or angry then I could focus why I am mad or what made me mad its helps me to be calm thats only time I love silence otherwise never

ReplyDeletesilence help me to think clearly and also help me to stay focused and complete my goals in my life
I think silence is important when you're upset. A lot of the time when a person is really mad about something, they say things they don't mean. So if when you were mad you just stayed quite, you'd not only prevent yourself from regretting being rude to someone, but you'd have personal time to resolve your problem & think it out clearly. =)
