But I know I have a son who doesn't listen to anything I say and if he hears the same thing from someone else, sometimes it has a little more impact.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
At this point, I don't listen to other people too much. I'm not really that affected by anyone.
Kids learn more from example than from anything you say; I'm convinced they learn very early not to hear anything you say, but to watch what you do.
Often it is important to listen to what people aren't saying.
You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time.
When I was young I used to listen to other people and to try and understand what they thought and where they were coming from. I listened and didn't speak.
When people ask me about my dialogue, I say, 'Don't you hear people talking?' That's all I do. I hear a certain type of individual, I decide this is what he should be, whatever it is, and then I hear him. Well, I don't hear anybody that I can't make talk.
Sometimes listening is of greater value than speaking.
Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.
The less you talk, the more you're listened to.
I went to pick up my nephew from primary school, and one of the teachers there stopped me and said, 'My son listens to you.' That's quite an awkward thing.
