She is patient, understandable, honesty and enthusiastic.What other advice would you give to Ben?What is your understanding of the saying “Loose lips sink ships”?Something “loose” moves easily. So, loose lips move freely and release a lot of words — most likely in a careless way. If you speak carelessly (that’s the “loose lips” part) about private or sensitive information, someone could hear and use it to damage or ruin something important (a “sinking ship” is pretty bad).The message: Be careful when you speak.
