Some people say that it takes half a lifetime for a middle-aged person to realize that the most advanced way of living is just one word: "quiet".
Looking at the people around us who are living a prosperous life, they all turn their lives into silent mode.
As Hemingway said: "It takes two years to learn to speak, and a lifetime to learn to shut up. Whether you understand or don't understand, don't say much. If you are confused and calm, speak slowly. If you really have nothing to say, learn to shut up and stop talking."
There are too many people in today's society who only talk about themselves and do not know how to listen to others. Learning how to listen is the highest level of human conduct. Often interrupts impolitely when others are talking.
The so-called silence is gold, and the ability to argue is silver.
Most of the time, we should not speak, but should be silent, learn to be silent, and learn to listen.
Listen to others in silence, reflect on yourself in silence, and think about what others say.
Shallow water is noisy, deep water is silent.
Strong people are often silent. Because they know more, they naturally speak less. They naturally understand the principle of listening more and talking less.
Your greatness lies not in talking about yourself, but in listening to others talk about themselves.
So, let us be good listeners, listen more and talk less.
