A valuable contribution

Is your presence and or words a valuable contribution? If not, it’s probably not necessary.

When it comes to writing, on final edits you always cut out the superfluous. You always get rid of the excess and leave behind only the good stuff. This is because anything that doesn’t add is more than likely detracting.

It’s the same with us. While your presence is more than likely a valuable contribution, sometimes it’s better we lay back and let others lead the conversation. This is perfectly fine. It’s time to bide our time, and our ideas, until we have something valuable to contribute.

Only if it adds.
