Rabbi Aron Raskin is a superb speaker and he truly fulfills the
concept of words that go out of the heart (of the speaker) enter into the hear

the benefit of his wisdom to other people who stand to greatly benefit from
his wisdom.

Not to say something we have to recant later.

Very beautiful words, and a very rewarding advice about our personal speaking. Better to meditate before speaking in order not to say something we have to repent for later: better to imitate Moshe Rabbeinu instead of imitate Pharaoh.
