The One Thing To Do Before You Speak

There’s an old proverb that goes, “He who answers before listening—that is his folly and shame.” Yet, how many of us do just that! When people are talking to us, we’re watching for that split second when their lips clamp shut so we can start talking and give them the benefit of our great wisdom. In fact, sometimes we just interrupt.  I guess that’s because what we have to say is so much more important than what they are saying, right?
