I have noticed something very good everywhere: the person who speaks less and listens more is respected a lot in the group. I don't know why, but it is. You too must have noticed that the person who speaks less and listens to others and simply listens, doesn't react much, and is respected more in the group. So why is this? It's because we live in such an aloof world where everyone lives to tell each other their story. If you find someone who is there just to listen to you, you will start to respect them. This is a very real thing because there is no one who sits there to listen to you and listens to you. Then that person is a very good person and a deep listener.
So, a good listener doesn't interrupt anyone. When someone is sharing a story or a problem, they don't interrupt or interrupt to express their own thoughts. A good listener listens to the entire conversation and gives a mature reply. This is the most respectful moment for them, because if they interrupt, people will think, "Hey, no one listens." If they talk properly, they'll gradually stop talking to them. But as long as the other person is talking, they don't respond and listen silently. Then they understand that they're being very considerate and putting in their efforts. They pick up their phone while listening to something. They listen silently and pay close attention, paying attention to every word. Only then can they make a good and mature decision. This makes them respectful.
In today's time, when everyone is immersed in their own world, this is true, and I'm not lying. Everyone does this—they are immersed in their own world. We have to check on others' problems instead of talking about ourselves, and we don't have enough time to listen to others' problems, and that's why it's most important when we're sleeping. Respectful is when the other person listens to us. He listens quietly. He doesn't say anything, just listens, and speaks very little. He always lets us speak, and this reflects his maturity. The best part is that when an argument is going on, he keeps his composure and remains calm. He just says this, and I've seen him say, "How are you?" "Congratulations, the argument is over," and this shows how emotionally balanced he is. He's rarely one.
If I were to talk about myself, I'm the kind of person who doesn't want to listen to anyone else. I just want to get my point across, and I'm not lying. I never listen to anyone else. And that's why I'm a bit of a person who doesn't like to hear someone else's problems. I prefer to keep my own problems to myself, and that makes me a mature person. I think such people are often good, and they're good, and I want to be an acid. But what can I do? I have very good friends. They listen to all my problems and always offer solutions. In more serious problems, they're always there. I have them, and you should always have good friends because if you have good friends and a good friendship, you'll always be there for me in one thing or another.
Suppose there's a group of four people, and everyone is talking to each other. Something is being done. You're listening to everyone calmly. Then, if a decision needs to be made, all three will keep talking. But in the very last scene, they'll ask you where to go. If you've mentioned the place once, your argument will feel more powerful because it was a normal argument throughout the entire argument, but people will think that if you don't say anything, or say less, they'll understand you. Then your decision will be much more appreciated. It will be given a lot of importance. But if you speak less and only as much as necessary, then people will understand that you're a mature person whom everyone consults before doing their work.
I believe that silence works as a strength. That stance where you just have to stay, but everyone understands you because everyone has to say one thing of their own. Everyone has to show one thing of their own. If you have to talk in a particular way, then you will remain silent there. You will speak less and keep pause. You will focus more on listening than speaking and will share your feelings with her. Then that person of yours will appreciate you a lot. She will want to talk to you a lot because you listen well, but if you are such that you are in a mood and respond quickly, you miss her words and say your thing intrudingly, then which person will want to talk to you? One should not talk. That is why I always talk about work.
Finally, I'd like to say this: If you're someone who speaks less and listens more, you're a truly rare person in this world. But if you're someone who talks more than most people, listens less, and interrupts occasionally, then you're a normal person. In today's times, a real person is someone who speaks less. I have many friends who speak less but interrupt a lot, and that's also bad. If you don't interrupt someone while they're speaking and let them finish, you'll appear more mature, and your voice will be valued more. If you speak less and finally say, "I want to go there," your words will be more relevant, and you'll appear more mature and decisive. This is especially important for a mother. Because if you keep talking, your value will diminish. Your words will be less valuable. If you are such a person who speaks less, then the value of your words will be more; hence, silence is a strength, not a weakness.
