Let us review what others have said about listening and sharing:
"To profit from good advice requires more wisdom than to give it." --Churton Collins
"They that will not be counseled cannot be helped. If you do not hear reason, she will rap you on the knuckles." --Benjamin Franklin
"Don’t give your advice before you are called upon." --Erasmus
"If a man’s faith is unstable and his peace of mind troubled, his knowledge will not be perfect." --Buddhist Proverb
"Let no man presume to give advice to others that he has not first lived successfully himself." --Anonymous
"People have a way of becoming what you encourage them to be – not what you nag them to be." --S.N. Parker
"An open mind, like an open window, should be screened to keep the bugs out." --Virginia Hutchinson
"Philosophy is a purely personal matter. A genuine philosopher's credo is the outcome of a single complex personality; it cannot be transferred. No two persons, if sincere, can have the same philosophy." -- Havelock Ellis
Today I will not expect others to agree with my views. I will share and listen for what is good in others and myself. I will seek honesty and increased understanding from all my communications with others.
The last one should have a provisor coming from you:
"Today I will not expect others to agree with my views. I will share and listen for what is good in others and myself. I will seek honesty and increased understanding from all my communications with others."
