Speaking or writing before you think is a terrible habit, as is gossiping about something that may or may not even be true. As soon as the words or out of your mouth, or you have submitted your article, there’s no turning back; the deed is done. This is also why rumours should not be taken too seriously. As Ali ibn Abi Talib so aptly stated: “You are master of what you say until you utter it, once you deliver it, you are its captive. Preserve your tongue as you do your gold and money. One word could bring disgrace and the termination of a bliss.”
