The same principle can be applied to your actions. Having an overall awareness and consciousness of your effect on others is important to becoming the best person that you can be.
People will probably not remember every word you've said but they will remember how they felt while and after interacting with you. In my experience, one of the keys to making all of your conversations positive is to maintain an awareness of the reactions, both obvious and subtle, of the other person. Remember, you always want to leave people happier than when you began speaking with them. If you keep that goal in mind you are sure to have successful interactions and minimal regret. (Note: Mother Theresa said, "Let no one come to you without leaving happier," and Maya Angelou said, "people will never forget how you made them feel." So basically I did a combo of the ideas of these two great women. You're welcome.)
