Talk 50 Listen 50

That's talk 50% of the time and listen 50% of the time.

Preferably listen 50% first.

Too many people don't really listen and are so keen to say what they have to say that they do not hear what the other person is saying.

Your ego might consider your life and what you have to say more important than listening to the other person however if you need to talk then time to consider why?

Is what you have to say really so interesting?

If you know what you are going to say then does the other person need to hear it too?

Why not spend your meeting listening to the other person and if that is boring then consider why are you spending time with them?

Use your time wisely do not spend it boring others or being bored by them.

Learn to listen better it's a useful skill.

Indeed go further and consider what is really being said behind the words?

Be more attentive!
