“It you want to be listened to, you should put in time listening”
Marge Piercy
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Steve Jobs
“Before you speak, listen.Before you write, think.Before you spend, earn.Before you invest, investigate.Before you criticize, wait.Before you pray, forgive.Before you quit, try.Before you retire, save.Before you die, give.”
William Arthur Ward
“If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.”
Winnie the Pooh
“The most called-upon prerequisite of a friend is an accessible ear.”
Maya Angelou
“A best friend shares the good times and helps you out by listening during the bad ones.”
Marie Muhammad
“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”
