should listen twice as much as we speak.
Only when we listen do we have anything
worthwhile to say.

speak.

thought a fool than to speak and leave no doubt.”
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION!
 If your want your words to have influence speak with
economy. Use the minimum number of words
necessary to convey your thoughts.

about others than they are talking about themselves.
If you find yourself more interesting than other
people, then soon you will be the only person who will
listen to you.
