Saying what we think gives a wider range of conversation than saying what we know.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is not what we learn in conversation that enriches us. It is the elation that comes of swift contact with tingling currents of thought.
I've found that if I say what I'm really thinking and feeling, people are more likely to say what they really think and feel. The conversation becomes a real conversation.
Beware, all too often we say what we hear others say. We think what we are told that we think. We see what we are permitted to see. Worse, we see what we are told that we see.
Sometimes people complicate things by thinking too much about what someone might think of what they said or did.
To know what people really think, pay regard to what they do, rather than what they say.
The more we elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.
Conversation would be vastly improved by the constant use of four simple words: I do not know.
Isn't it strange that we talk least about the things we think about most?
I'm used to being told what to say, but not what to think... that's usually left up to me.
We know what a person thinks not when he tells us what he thinks, but by his actions.
