There is wisdom and power in being silent. Thoughtful communication is valuable in today's fast-paced world filled with online criticism and judgment. Tim and Steve reference a quote from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (as Sherlock Holmes), emphasizing the importance of listening before speaking. They reflect on the lost art of being silent, waiting for the right moment to contribute to a conversation.

The example of Abraham Lincoln's practice of writing letters to himself before responding to disagreements illustrates the value of reflecting before communicating. This practice allows for a more thoughtful and measured response, preventing impulsive reactions and promoting better understanding in conversations.

"You have a grand gift for silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion." — Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Complete Sherlock Holmes
