Listening

Listening is such a simple act. It requires us to be present, and that takes practice, but we don't have to do anything else. We don't have to advise, or coach, or sound wise. We just have to be willing to sit there and listen.    --  Margaret J. Wheatley

Speak and listen from the heart

If we want to be compassionate we must be conscious of the words we use.

We must both speak and listen from the heart.


-- Marshall B. Rosenberg

Know how to listen and you will profit even from those who talk badly.

-- Plutarch (46 - 120) Greek Essayist
