Be a good listener. Your ears will never get you in trouble - Frank Tyger

Thanks Frank. That's a pretty solid quote.

This is Part 2 of my 'Open up' series. If you haven't yet checked-out Part 1, the link is at the bottom of this post. If you have already gone through it, then let's proceed.

That's right. You heard me. Shut your mouth!

This can be quite easily misinterpreted, but I mean the more general approach when I say that. What I am saying is, don't just say things for the sake of saying them. It's a terrible habit that many people get into.

My mentor told me some really solid, indirect advice the other day. We were on a phone call talking about an investment, and he politely told me that he only opens his mouth when he has thought thoroughly about what he is going to say. His mouth is closed when people talk to him, and even now, after he has made 10's of millions of dollars, he tells me he values every single person's opinion to this date.

In other words, he was politely telling me to shut my damn mouth!

I'm not just here, saying all this stuff just to look cool. Everything I talk about in my content always relates to me.

The main reason for me making this post is because I am identifying my weaknesses. I am seeking where I can improve in my life. This topic is definitely a major step forward for me.

I am a very fast-paced person. I cannot listen to a story for too long without moving on. So, for that, I am definitely not the most patient person when it comes to listening. So don't worry if you feel a little guilty about these words I am accusing every guilty person for, because I am the most guilty!

But hey, it's not the person you are today who people remember you for, but rather the person you become!

Look, I have my own opinion on this topic too. I believe if you know what it is you want to achieve, and you know exactly what you need to do to achieve it, then it is your choice how you take criticism. However, I think the big part of this topic is more for the people who are seeking help. People who don't know 100% how to get the task done. If that is the case, then you definitely just need to keep your mouth closed, especially if the opinion is coming from someone above you in your level of success.

I want to encourage transparency here. That is why I am not afraid to be open about these things. A big inspiration for my transparency would definitely be

Hive account@jerrybanfield. The man is so open about the things in his life, and the things going on in his head. I respect you for that,
