"Listen more often than you speak"
~ Howard Baker
Somewhere in the recent past, I came upon a nugget of wisdom I thought I could hold onto. I cannot find the exact quote but to paraphrase what I remember, it said something to the effect that we can be interesting or interested. Interesting is not a word I would use to describe myself but I would like to be the kind of person who is known as being interested.
I woke up with a verbal hangover this morning. The words "listen more than you speak" are ringing through my ears.
It is definitely a time to focus on being interested. I have so much to learn from those around me.
