Read Titus 2:6-8 – Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
A difficult task for a man is to be silent when he wants to speak out about something. Likewise, it is difficult to speak up when he wants to be silent. But a man with character knows that there are times for both silence and speech. Many times anything that comes up that we have an opinion on is a trigger for the mouth to release. There are times that a man just needs to listen and seek to understand what is being said and why it is being said. You can learn a lot by watching a person as he speaks. Sometimes the person talking has no real aim or intention. But the wrong word can make that which has no meaning become something ugly.
