Be Aware of the Quiet Ones like Keanu Reeves — They Are the Ones That Actually Make You Think
The smarter you become, the less you speak.
The world doesn’t need more loud guys full of too many words, with buff arms, in tight shirts, and huge egos to match. The world needs quiet people. Why?
Quiet people make you think.
Thinking brings clarity.
Thinking can lead to change.
I’ve always been intrigued by Keanu. He is a quiet person who keeps to himself and still hasn’t figured out how to be famous after twenty-nine years of being one of the most iconic Hollywood Actors of all time.
Keanu doesn’t get fame, attention or noise. Instead, he prefers to be quiet and insert silence in his speeches and TV interviews.
When he does choose to speak, he drops short sentence bombs like this interview with Steven Colbert:
Stephen: “What do you think happens when we die, Keanu Reeves?”
Keanu: I know that the ones who love us will miss us.
In eleven words, Keanu summed up the entire meaning of life. It was a moment of sheer brilliance.
