Only 7% of your message is expressed in your words. The other 93% is in your intonation, gestures, facial expression, demeanour, clothes, hairstyle, or the gun leaning against your shoulder. Your behaviour and body language are far more expressive than what you say. And no word you utter can neutralize what you show or what your body communicates. Keep that in mind.
Knowing what you’re going to say: useful
Knowing what you’re not going to say: crucial
Saying what you shouldn’t have said: fatal
