be slow to speak and quick to listen
be slow to speak and quick to listen:
only speak comfortably--freely--openly and honestly to a true friend:
to listen more and to speak less:
this for us all is a challenge and a true test:
if you talk too much people stop listening to you too:
so be straight to the point to ensure people understand you:
if you speak words of many:
you leave yourself open for people to put you down and criticize you plenty:
be sure to closely guard your words do not brag or boast:
always listen very carefully and close:
when someone speaks to to you give them your undivided full attention:
that is where a friendship is won:
before a child speake they learn to listen and learn:
as an adult always wait to speak until its your turn:
let your words be powerful-positive and pro-active:
honest and sincere comments to others always give:
speak less and listen more:
peace of mind you will find for sure:
