Listen

From a book I'm reading for work. Susan Morem's 101 Tips for Graduates.

Listen.

When you hear, you need to listen.

When you listen, you pay attention; when you pay attention, you stop talking.

When you stop talking, you engage; when you engage, you feel connected.

When you feel connected, you invest; when you invest, you see value.

When you see value, you commit; when you commit, you resolve.

When you resolve, you truly focus; when you focus, you can learn.

When you learn, you gain knowledge; when you gain knowledge, you will grow.

When you grow, you will improve; when you improve, you can advance.

When you advance, you develop; when you develop, you mature.

When you mature, you start to notice; when you notice, you can see.

When you can see, you understand; when you understand, you grasp the concept.

When you grasp the concept, you have communication.

When you have communication, you have cooperation.

When you have cooperation, you can achieve anything.

So Listen!
