A Lesson

I feel that one of the greatest compliments someone can pay another person is to Listen to what they have to say. By Listen I mean either to fully engage in hearing what the person is saying, or fully reading what they have written.

Its disheartening to see people at work blatantly go about doing their own thing and create problems because they haven't listened. Its even more disheartening to have family do the same to you.

For me, the answer is very simple. If someone doesn't listen or take the time to pay a little decent respect to others by listening to what they have to say, then I distance myself from that person, little by little.

So, here's a lesson today for everyone: remember that its respectful and highly decent to listen to others, and do take the time to read what they have written. Your mind and soul will benefit from it entirely.
