I don't listen to anybody. You need my help: Come to me, shut up, forget who you are. I will take care of you. And I do my job.

In a leadership role in Iraq and in running my own business, what I've learned is if you don't listen, you're going to strike out. You're going to fail miserably. The people you work with have got to know you're engaged and you're listening.

Listening is a positive act: you have to put yourself out to do it.

Well, once we finish something, I can't really listen to it because all I hear are problems.

I don't want to listen to everybody's problems all the time. And I doubt anybody wants to listen to mine.

I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.

The biggest mistake most people make when it comes to listening is they're so focused on what they're going to say next or how what the other person is saying is going to affect them that they fail to hear what's being said.

And it is easy to believe you are not good enough if you listen to everybody else.

At this point, I don't listen to other people too much. I'm not really that affected by anyone.
