Listening

In one of our meetings, all but one person did not understand what the major problem is, let alone how we try to resolve it.

The thing is: He WASN'T LISTENING!!!

Perhaps, I should get him a coffee in the old Starbucks cup with this quote printed on it:


The Way I See It #280

You can learn a lot more from listening than you can from talking. Find someone with whom you don't agree in the slightest and ask them to explain themselves at length. Then take a seat, shut your mouth, and don't argue back. It's physically impossible to listen with your mouth open.
