More Listening Than Talking

--by mssmileyface, posted Sep 10, 2013

I have been doing more listening than talking lately.

You would be surprised at how many clues you can pick up on what people need in life when they are talking about anything and everything.

While listening to someone I am usually searching for little things I can do to make their lives a bit easier.

Try it. You will be amazed at what you can pick up.
