PLEASE LISTEN
When i ask you to listen to me
and you start giving me advice,
you have not done what i asked.
When i ask you to listen to me
and you begin to tell me why
I shouldn't feel that way,
you are trampling on my feelings.
When i ask you to listen to me
and you feel you have to do something
to solve my problem,
you have failed me,
strange as that may seem.
Listen! All i ask is that you listen.
Dont talk or do--just hear me.
-The 7 Habits of a Highly Effective Teenager
i recommend that book^^^. makes u realize stuff& it teaches you. i was reluctant at first becuz i'd figure they'd tell me how to live my life with sum cheesy crap. and some of it is but most isn't. my favorite part is the listening section "seek first to understand then to be understood"
