One of the greatest things I have learned in the process of getting older  is that saying nothing is often the best solution. I like for my POV to be heard, but when I am quiet I often find that either someone else will have the same thoughts I was having (ergo, I shouldn't be so arrogant as to think I'm the only one with good ideas), OR when I listen for a little while longer I see that my opinions wouldn't have been all that helpful.
There is no way my 26 year old self would have believed what I just typed.
