Could YOU practice Right Speech for a month? No lies, no hurtful speech, no gossip?

In this video, Michael introduces the why and how of his “experiment.”
Watch it and then tell us: How would you do?

I do my best to fulfill this. It's not always easy, and mistakes come. Still, it gets easier with time and practice.
