In some way, people believe that if you are permeable, if you are a good listener, you don't have the quality of somebody with a firm attitude. This is what, fundamentally, I got from my mother.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A good listener is not someone with nothing to say. A good listener is a good talker with a sore throat.
I am a good listener. I think that came from my schooling.
I think I'm generally a good listener anyway.
To understand the true quality of people, you must look into their minds, and examine their pursuits and aversions.
My mother was a listener. I'm a talker. I'm very comfortable talking.
Some people are more fluid than others at just being themselves and recognizing what's good about themselves.
I think I'm very permeable. I can very easily, without even choosing to do it, enter the life of another. Or, to put it in a more modest and accurate way, for that life to enter mine.
People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.
You can win more friends with your ears than with your mouth. People who feel like they're being listened to feel accepted and appreciated. They feel like they're being taken seriously and what they say really matters.
My best quality is that I talk to everyone. My worst quality is that I talk to everyone.
