About This Quote
When I was in school, I would often ask myself, “How do I learn to speak when silence is all I know?” The answer that I came up with was that to learn how to speak, I had to learn how to listen. This is an important lesson for anyone who wishes to progress in life. It also shows that when we are in a position of silence, we must be sure not to fall into the trap of thinking that we cannot learn anything. While there may be nothing to be learned in the present moment, there might well be something worth learning about. We can only find this out by listening closely and paying attention.
