LISTENING

"Seek first to understand, then to be understood." -- Stephen Covey

"Many people may listen, but few people actually hear." -- Harvey Mackay

"It seems rather incongruous that in a society of super sophisticated communication, we often suffer from a shortage of listeners." -- Erma Bombeck

"If you wish to appear agreeable in society, you must consent to be taught many things which you already know." -- Johann Caspar Lavater


TIME

Time is such a simple, almost primitive idea. It is just a means of material differentiation, a way of uniting us all; for in our external, material lives we value the synchronized efforts of individual people.

Andrey Tarkovsky


Everyone is born with a limited amount of time. Every moment we live--whether we’re working, playing, complaining, or being thankful--is time that we’ve spent. Nothing is more valuable than the time we have left.
