We are designed with twice as much equipment to hear with than to speak with. Therefore it is a wise thing to listen twice as much as you speak.
One of the easiest ways to make friends, learn, understand and succeed is simply to listen and yet so few people do this effectively. Listening is not about waiting until it is your time to speak, listening is about concentrating, really concentrating, on the person you are listening to. There is nothing more attractive than a good listener. A good listener makes friends easier, networks better, enjoys people’s uniqueness more and learns the most. From now on try to listen more that you speak, you might just learn something.
