More often than not, when I get a message from one of my friends in the middle of the week asking me to meet up for coffee or a drink, it's because they need a sounding board for whatever's bothering them. I'm pretty open minded so they know I would never judge them. I take it to mean that I'm a pretty good listener.
Lately though, I've noticed that I talk more and listen less. This, coupled my with my lack of impulse control/gung-ho attitude, leads to a few cringe-worthy moments, especially when it comes to my personal life.
"Listen, listen, listen and then ask strategic questions."
Silence is underrated. Maybe if I follow this particular rule, life would be a lot less complicated.
