This quote hits me right between the eyes. If I am to improve my listening skills I can start not only by keeping my mouth closed, but also by directing my thoughts to what is being said not what I want to say in return. Sweet humility inclines us to be learners before we become teachers. Someone has said, “The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand. We listen to reply.”
"Let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak..." James 1:19 Conversations Within” ts 1/24/2017
