Do You Hear?

“God gave you two ears and one mouth. That means you should listen twice as much as you talk.”

~ “A Word from the Wise” by Elspeth Raisbeck

Funny and definitely good advice—in my opinion anyway. I think a lot of problems could be avoided if people stopped and actually listened to each other. Of course, talking is important too, since it’s often difficult to understand what someone really means without dialogue, but it’s a good reminder that a dialogue is a two-way street. I don’t want to become one of those people who spends the other person’s speaking time thinking only about what I want to say next.
