Silence is Golden

This phrase means that it is better to say nothing than to speak.

It was also a title of a song that was recorded by the American rock band the Four Seasons.?

After reading Gretchen Rubin’s book, Life in Five Senses, I feel that silence also means tuning out all the “noise” that we are bombarded with every day.

In the workplace, it may seem impossible to be able to function in utter quiet but for many that is the only productive way to work.?

As much as some companies are making their employees come back to the office, I think they should think twice about making it a mandatory five-day-a-week, show-your-face mandate.?

As for me, I need perfect solitude especially when I am writing a report or even this blog.?

When I was working for one of my employers, my boss told me I would have my own office but eventually when we moved to a new building I had to share a small office with an even smaller partition with a colleague.?

My concentration suffered as did my productivity.

I even tried to come in early or stay late but she always seemed to be there.??

Even her being so called “quiet” was not up to my standards.?

It was always a relief when she was on a business trip or even better when she was sick for a few days!
