In listening lies great power.
Many are expert in speaking (while everyone hears), adept in analyzing in bits and pieces, very prompt in commenting, and always ready to stamp judgement of 'right' or 'wrong'.
Very few are skilled in listening, first, with the ears and, then, with the heart.
Those who do hold true, sustainable, and great power.
