SHUT UP AND LISTEN!

People don't listen. They hear things. They always hear things. And they always say things. Now, when i say people, I'm included. I'm one of those people, like 99.9% of the people on this planet who don't listen enough. I do listen more then some people though. This 99.9% of people don't all love to speak. Many do love to speak, many love to think, many love to hear. Listening however is rare. Listening is when you hear something, but you don't just let it fly past your mind. Listening is when you take it in, everything about it, the way its spoken, the tone, the words, the accent, the sentance, the timing. When you think about all that, listening is understanding the reason for all those different things. And when i say this i don't mean overanilize and tell people what their thinking. I mean, try to understand where those words are coming from. And half the time, you won't really understand that, but soon you will understand more and more. Also, people do this thing called talking. And they say all these words that don't have any meaning to them. Words are amazingly precious, use them wisely. Every word you say should have some meaning, however little that meaning is. And believe it or not, the more words you say, the less sence they make. This post for example. I'm using WAY to many words. At this point your mind is probably going in crazy circles. So, i will leave it at this: Listen, understand what people are saying. Talk only when you have something to say.
