-The most basic and powerful way to
connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most
important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving
silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most
well-intentioned words. ~Rachel Naomi Remen
-Listen first. Give your opponents a
chance to talk. Let them finish. Do not resist, defend or debate. This
only raises barriers. Try to build bridges of understanding. ~ Dale
Carnegie
-The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
- When were you enriched by a quality listener?
- How did it make you feel?
- How can you enrich the lives of several acquaintances?
