In life you talk
And when you talk you are only repeating,
Repeating what you already know.
But if you listen you may learn,
May learn something new.
So to learn new things, listen,
Listen to all around you
And you will progress,
Progress into a wiser way,
A wiser way In life.

Good write Gold. I heard something rather repetitive (we'll be there all day!). Doh! But it may be used in 'listening' or 'reflection' exercises.
1. I tell you something.
2. You tell me what I just said.
3. I tell you again what I said originally.
Thank you Orchi.

My dad used to say that: "When you speak you only say what you know, but when you listen you always learn something new"
I think he grew up around more educated people than I have! Lol.
Nice sentiment though. Cheers
Thank you Gary.
