"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen."
I heard this quote (from the great Winston Churchill) the other day and I was really struck by it. People seem to forget about the second part of this idea nowadays. It is very easy to speak our minds these days, especially with the internet. But shutting up for a while and listening to other points of view is actually the much harder thing to do, in my opinion. I think that every one of us needs to learn to be good at both.
Until next time,
