Listening or hearing?

You have two ears and one mouth. Use them in proportion.  

Listening is a great skill. Be good at it. Observe. Show interest in other people,  

especially if they are opening up to you and asking advice. Be proud they  

came to you for your wise counsel. Digest what you are hearing. Know the  

difference between hearing and listening. Help someone if you are able and if you  

personally can’t help, perhaps find or think about someone you know who can.  

Kindness in my book is number one!
