"Cuando no tengas nada importante o interesante que decir no dejes que nadie te convenza de decirlo"

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people might feel pressured to talk just for the sake of talking, even when they don't have anything meaningful to add. It's okay to stay quiet rather than speaking just to fill silence. Imagine you're in a meeting at work and everyone is sharing their ideas. If you don't have a useful idea right then, it's better to listen instead of saying something that doesn't contribute much. This way, when you do speak, people know to listen because you usually have something valuable to add. Staying silent when you don't have anything important to say shows respect for others' time and helps keep conversations more meaningful.
