God gave you two ears and one mouth. You should be listening twice as often as you are talking.
Be mindful. Listen. Pause. Speak.
How are you going to learn anything if you are always the one spouting your opinions?
Watch successful people. They listen. They listen intently. They are power listeners. You may be drawn to them for the simple reason that they are evaluating seriously what you are saying.
Watch average people. They are often stuck on transmit. They can’t wait for the other person to stop talking so that they can top whatever is being said with their own advice or tales of bravado.
Be mindful. Listen. Pause. Speak.
