Comment: A good listener understands not only the words but also the meaning and intent of the speaker. A good listener hears with thoughtful attentiveness because the other person is worthy of respect. A good listener will also try to remember what was said hoping to incorporate the best of it in their own realm of reason.
Advice: Make sure you listen to what is going to come out of your mouth before it comes out of your mouth. — Judith Mary Kain (1948-) American empath
