    “Gossiping has become the main form of communication in human society. It has become the way we feel close to each other, because it makes us feel better to see someone else feel as badly as we do. There is an old expression that says, ‘Misery likes company,’ and people who are suffering in hell don’t want to be all alone.” ~ Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements

      “The word is the most powerful tool you have as a human; it is the tool of magic. But like a sword with two edges, your word can create the most beautiful dream, or your word can destroy everything around you. One edge is the misuse of the word, which creates a living hell. The other edge is the impeccability of the word, which will only create beauty, love and heaven on earth.” ~ don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements

        “The key to the many is often the one; it is how you regard and talk about the one in that one’s absence or presence that communicates to the many how you would regard and talk about them in their presence or absence.” ~ Stephen Covey, The 8th Habit

          “Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn’t hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor.” ~ Hugh Elliott

            “It’s more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long difficult words but rather short easy words like ‘What about lunch?’ ~ Winnie-the-Pooh

              “Open, honest communication is the best foundation for any relationship, but remember that at the end of the day it’s not what you say or what you do, but how you make people feel that matters the most.” ~ Tony Hsieh, Delivering Happiness

                “The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

                  “Listen if you want to be heard” ~ John Wooden

                    “Effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking or finishing their sentences. It’s being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond.” ~ Richard Carlson, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff

                      “If subordinates, or people in general, know that they genuinely have easy access to their leader, they’ll tend to view the leader in a more positive, trustworthy light.” ~ Donald T. Phillips, Lincoln on Leadership

                        “Listen earnestly to anything your children want to tell you, no matter what. If you don’t listen eagerly to the little stuff when they are little, they won’t tell you the big stuff when they are big, because to them all of it has always been big stuff.” ~ Catherine M. Wallace

                          “Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.” ~ Chinese Proverb

                            “Leadership is communicating to people their worth and potential so clearly that they come to see it in themselves.” ~ Stephen Covey

                                “Nothing speaks like results. If you want to build the kind of credibility that connects with people, then deliver results before you deliver a message. Get out and do what you advise others to do. Communicate from experience.” ~ John C. Maxwell

                                  “You cannot speak that which you do not know.  You cannot share that which you do not feel.  You cannot translate that which you do not have.  And you cannot give that which you do not possess.  To give it and to share it, and for it to be effective, you first need to have it.” ~ Jim Rohn
