Listen or thy tongue will keep thee deaf.
-Native American Indian Proverb
If you are always talking, the only thoughts, ideas and opinions you will ever hear are your own. This is akin to being deaf, for you will never learn anything new. Hear...Listen...Learn.

So very true, Linda. Maybe that's why we have 2 ears and one mouth :)
ReplyDeleteLove that snowy photo! Just beautiful!
Hi Linda ('cept I typed Listen?!)
ReplyDeleteso true .. for me I'd say read, listen, learn .. as I read so much, and hear and listen - then learn as I repeat and write about things ..
The photo looks cold .. but I love the snow covered shrubs .. cheers Hilary
there is def something to be said of listening....
ReplyDeleteGood advice.. and timely for me at this moment. Lovely pic, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I needed that reminder.
ReplyDeleteQuieting the monkey mind is always a challenge. I like this one a lot and the picture is beautiful, too.
ReplyDeleteI liked Talon's comment:~) That's a good one.
ReplyDeleteI must confess this has always been a difficult lesson for me. Because I get nervous, I sometimes talk, more than I listen. I've really worked on listening more than talking in the last few years. It does make a difference:~)
Thanks for this quote and your special thoughts about it!
