When I was a young boy, my mom would often say, “God gave you two ears and one mouth so you can listen twice as much as you speak.” Decades later, there are times when I’m not sure that I’ve fully grasped the wisdom of that adage. Listening well is important in every relationship. And developing good listening skills is crucial for success at work or at home. At times it seems that listening is more important than even what we say.
