"Think in terms of what's good for the other person and success will seek you out. "

Mary Kay Ash, Entrepreneur

Hearing is a passive activity -- you're allowing sound waves to penetrate your ear. In listening,

you actively determine meaning to what is heard – you listen with your eyes and ears. You're in

control when a customer is talking about his problem, and out of control when you're talking about

yourself.

Carolyn Riddle, Sales Personnel

To listen fully means to pay close attention to what is being said beneath the words. You listen

not only to the "music," but to the essence of the person speaking. You listen not only for what

someone knows, but for what he or she is. Ears operate at the speed of sound, which is far

slower than the speed of light the eyes take in. Generative listening is the art of developing

deeper silences in yourself, so you can slow our mind's hearing to your ears' natural speed, and

hear beneath the words to their meaning.

Peter Senge

"Listen or thy tongue will keep thee deaf. "

American Indian Proverb

"The key to wisdom is knowing all the right questions."

--John A. Simone, Jr.

"Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent."

Napoleon

Margaret Millar
