10/30/07 "Long Story Short"

Respect is both earned, and given.

We all must realize that life, love, and friendship is a two-way street. What you ask of one person, you can not expect to reciprocate if asked. It is important to know how you expect to be treated, you must be willing to give it back, without no regret. Many of us take advantage of others' feelings, and neglect to listen to the ones we love the most. If we take time to listen, and not overpower, many decisions and arguments can be avoided. We should also recognize if the shoe was on the other foot, would we want to be treated the same? Most of the time, the answer is no. So learn to listen, respect, and communicate correctly.

Life Lesson: You can not begin to listen by talking first. You learn more with a closed mouth and open ears.
