Learning From Life

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

Some of the best advice I got early on in life was to listen more and talk less.

As I served by time in the Army listening became a crucial skill to communication with others.

As I got married and had kids listening helped me understand what they needed from me.

As I lost my first wife to a tragic accident listening helped me and others around me deal with the loss.

As I eventually remarried to a wonderful woman and partner in life we used listening and talking to slowly build our relationship.

Always listen and you will learn a great many things in life.
