Talking instead of listening--will get you into trouble. Two geese were preparing to fly south when a frog asked if he could go along. They questioned how he could do it. "Easy", hes said. " You guys hold a stick between your beaks and I'll hang on with my mouth".

Off they went as people looked up, admiring their teamwork. The trio was making great progress until somebody below shouted, "Great idea! Whose was it?" Thats when the frog opened his mouth and yelled, "Miiiiiine". Every time you open your mouth there are consequences! So learn to listen.

Plutarch said, " The talkative listen to no one,for they are ever speaking.

Listening without having to air your knowledge or interject your opinion is a quality of character that proves you're mature. There is a point in every conversation where you need to say less and listen more.

*** Well this is something to think about and consider always. imho. *** See James 1:19
