Listen and Learn. Don't Lecture

Let me start off by saying that I am still learning this lesson!

Here are some quick notes about this.

If you are too verbose, the person you are talking to (not with) will most likely (a) lose interest or (b) get lost.

You may come off as an arrogant know it all.

If you don't listen to others, you are missing the entire point of social interaction.

You most likely don't know any better than anyone else. You just know differently.

PREACH, PREACH, PREACH: RECIPROCAL RELATIONSHIPS! But in reality, if relationships are unbalanced and are not reciprocal, then the result will be suboptimal. This imbalance may manifest itself in the form of boredom, arguments, sadness, bitterness, divorce, etc.
