Listen

Okay, it’s time for another grumpy old man official rule of life.  Rule #65, “Listen for what is not being said.”  The problem with people is there is too much conversation and not enough communication.  I read a tidbit today that states, “The biggest communication problem is that we do not listen to understand.  We listen to reply.”

The next time you have a serious conversation, try listening to understand.

You can’t understand if you don’t listen for what is not being said.
