Agreed... We've got two ears - one mouth, theoretically we should listen twice as much as we talk... but that rarely happens...

Being able to listen is a skill... One that can be taught? Probably... My mother always told me I never listened... (My parents I always saw as the adults talking in charlie brown... wonh wonh wonh... They never quite said anything a person could understand) I've had perfect strangers tell me that I listen very well - but... others... eh... no so much...
