On Speaking. Proverbs 13: verse 2 is the main verse.

A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence. Proverbs 13:2

Means that how you speak to people is so crucial and necessary. If you master speaking to people then you will reap bountiful rewards.

Think Before You Speak

Pause briefly before responding—this helps you collect your thoughts and avoid rambling.

Learn to be okay with silence; it shows confidence.

Expand Your Vocabulary

Read widely—especially high-quality sources (essays, speeches, classic literature).

Keep a personal list of strong, precise words or phrases you like.

Practice Precision

• Cut filler words (like "um," "like," "you know").

• Use shorter, more direct sentences. Punchy is powerful.

Slow Down

• Speaking too fast can make you sound nervous or unclear.

• A calm pace gives your words weight.

Record Yourself

• Play it back and listen for verbal tics, slurred words, or areas where you lose your train of thought.

• Practice correcting those areas out loud

Engage in Verbal Sparring

• Debate, pitch, or just have deep conversations with sharp people.

• Iron sharpens iron.

Read Aloud

• Speeches, poetry, or anything with rhythm.

• It trains your tongue and improves articulation and pacing.

Imitate Good Speakers

Watch TED Talks, great courtroom scenes, or motivational speeches.

Mirror their tone, inflection, and timing until it feels natural.

Speak to Build, Not Just Fill

“Fruit” takes time and care. Don’t just speak to be heard—speak to build something. Whether it’s trust, respect, opportunity, or vision.

Every word is a seed. Plant intentionally.

Speak What You Want to See

Your mouth steers your life like a rudder. If you want good things—relationships, opportunities, confidence—start speaking them.

Speak in alignment with what you’re creating, not just what you’re experiencing.

Don’t Let Your Mouth Rob Your Harvest

• Careless words can destroy what wisdom built.

• Avoid speaking out of anger, fear, or insecurity. That fruit may look shiny in the moment but turn rotten later.

Feed Others With Your Words

• If your mouth can feed you, it can also nourish others.

• Encouragement, wisdom, insight—give it freely, and you’ll reap the return in influence, trust, and favor.

Master the Power of Restraint

• Sometimes, saying nothing is the most fruitful choice.

• Like pruning a tree, restraint leads to richer fruit later.

Keep Your Words Aligned With Character

• Fruit is a reflection of the tree. Sharp words are good—but not if they’re bitter.

• Speak from integrity, not just intellect.
