(This is the modified translation from a Chinese article. I was unable to find the author’s name.)

One day, a father invited his son to take a walk in the woods with him. They eventually stopped at a bend in the road.

After a short silence, the father asked his son, “What do you hear besides the birds singing?”

The son listened carefully for a few seconds and then said, “I hear a carriage.”

“Yes,” said the father, “it is empty.”

Surprised, the son asked his father, “How did you know it was empty?”

The father replied, “The more empty the carriage, the more noise it makes.”

As the son grew into a man, every time he saw a voluble and supercilious man, he felt as if his father had whispered in his ear, “The emptier the carriage, the louder the noise.”

People who have crossed a river may have picked up a stone and thrown it into the water before wading.

At some point, one might notice that the louder the splash sounds, the shallower the river is. A body of water that can silently absorb a stone must be unfathomably deep.

Do not show off. The louder you brag, the less convincing you will seem.

By talking calmly to people, you can avoid arguments and learn to listen more rather than emphasize your own opinions.

分享好文～《深水無聲》

一天，有一位父親邀他的兒子一同到林間漫步。
父子倆在一個彎道處停了下來。
在短暫沉默後，父親問兒子：「除了小鳥的歌唱之外，你還聽到了什麼聲音？」
兒子仔細的聽了幾秒鐘後說：「我聽到了馬車的聲音。」
父親說：「對，那是一輛空馬車。」
兒子驚奇的問他的父親：「您怎麼知道那是一輛空馬車？」
父親答道：「馬車越空，噪音就越大。」
兒子長大成人後，每當他看到口若懸河、粗暴的打斷別人的談話，而且自以為是、目空一切的人，他都感覺好像是父親在自己的耳邊說：「馬車越空，噪音就越大。」

有渡河經驗的人，在涉水之前，會抓起一塊石頭投入水中。
水花濺得越高，表示河水越淺。
相反的，濺不起大水花、聽不見大水花聲的地方必定深不可測……
靜水流深，深水無聲。
馬車越空，噪音越大
不顯山，不露水，不虛張，想必做人，也該如此吧！
以此來品人和感悟人生，我們將會注意到：
以平心靜氣的與人談話，可以避免爭吵，學會更多的傾聽，而不是一味的強調自己的主張。
