“I know how to listen when clever men are talking. That is the secret of what you call my influence.” [Sudermann: Es Lebe das Leben I.iv (trans. Edith Wharton)]
Always strive to learn something new. Be able to listen when others are speaking. Don’t just wait for your chance to talk, really listen to what they have to say.
Being able to listen is a skill that we can all improve upon.
