Breaking Down Bernard Meltzer’s Timeless Advice: Why It’s More Vital Than Ever

United States radio host Bernard Meltzer, known for his advice call-in show that ran from 1967 to the 1990s, shared a powerful quote that remains relevant today:
“Before you speak ask yourself if what you are going to say is true, is kind, is necessary, is helpful. If the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid.”
In this episode, I dive deep into the wisdom of this quote, exploring its timeless relevance in today’s fast-paced, opinion-driven world. From social media to everyday conversations, Meltzer's advice offers a much-needed framework for better communication, promoting understanding, kindness, and truth. Listen as I discuss why his message is more critical than ever and how adopting it can make a real difference in our lives and relationships.
