Listening is such a simple act. It requires us to be present, and that takes practice, but we don't have to do anything else. We don't have to advise, or coach, or sound wise. We just have to be willing to sit there and listen.

The simple act of caring is heroic.

Yet we act as if simple cause and effect is at work. We push to find the one simple reason things have gone wrong. We look for the one action, or the one person, that created this mess. As soon as we find someone to blame, we act as if we've solved the problem.

Making choices that improve things for all of us on the planet is an act of compassion, a simple act we can do any time we go shopping.

The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.

The simple act of paying positive attention to people has a great deal to do with productivity.
