listen

4 Sep

People (myself included) talk too much and don’t listen enough.

I was feeling frustrated about this the other day, and then I got this email from my mom, out of the blue:

“Don’t ever forget that it is best to listen much, speak little, and not become angry.”
-James 1:19

…funny how these things work.

I could ramble on about it, but I think I just need to be quiet for now.

    Lol! Good thoughts. Thanks. Was just thinking on the exact subject when I came across your post. Yip…we likely would accomplish more if we worked the hands and feet..more than the mouth.

      Not true. In my experience people respect you more when you don’t feel the need to constantly run your mouth. People listen more if you only speak when you have something important or worthwhile to say.

      HAVING SAID THAT, I talk waaaaay too much.
