Be able to hiccup silently, or at least without alerting neighbors to your situation. The first hiccup is an exception.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I notoriously get the hiccups. When I get the hiccups, I get it numerous times in one day.
When people around me are getting rattled, I may just close my eyes and do a breathing exercise.
It's very important in life to know when to shut up. You should not be afraid of silence.
If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.
I talk fast because I'm asthmatic, and I'm desperately hoping the words get out before my breath fails.
Keep silence for the most part, and speak only when you must, and then briefly.
I live quietly at home among my family and friends.
I limited myself to one shout a day. But I didn't like the sound of my voice. It sounded panicked, it sounded scared. And I knew from experience you can't hear more than 50 yards either way down a canyon.
Well-timed silence is the most commanding expression.
Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind - even if your voice shakes.
