non-verbose.
So often I keep my thoughts in my head. Usually it's a strategy move, I wait and watch and observe until I get a handle on the situation and then swoop in to make it work for me. I learn a lot from watching, more people should shut up and tune in. Other times, though, it's not intentional and I hate feeling like I can't get the right words out of my mouth at the right time.

More people should keep silent and tune in! Whether you call it active listening or simply practice the skill of listening at least 3 times as much as you speak, it is the key to getting the big picture!
ReplyDeleteI don't see this as a strategy move, however, simply as a wise, mindful person. Knowing when to speak, and what to say, that is a skill to be honed as life goes on
I do this in class but can never find the balance between saying nothing and blurting things out
