90 Days of Wisdom: Day 18

A fool finds no pleasure in understanding
but delights in airing his own opinions.
(Prov. 18:2)

We cannot talk ourselves into knowledge. We do not build lasting friendships by dominating conversations. Real communication involves listening... not just 'hearing' but 'listening.' Sometimes we can find ourselves in a conversation, but instead of listening to what the other person is saying, we are thinking about what we will say next.

Today, in every encounter I have with other people, I want to listen to what they are saying.
