“How can you get to know someone if you don’t listen?  If someone is speaking, don’t be thinking about how you can mention a similar experience you had, or what you can say next that will sound amusing or knowledgeable.  Show compassion.  Let them know you care.  You never learn anything while you are talking.”
(Elizabeth Mainson quoted in Pemptousia)
