Today's thought from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:Listening and SharingLet us review what others have said about listening and sharing: "To profit from good advice requires more wisdom than to give it."--Churton Collins "They that will not be counseled cannot be helped. If you do not hear reason, she will rap you on the knuckles."--Benjamin Franklin "Don’t give your advice before you are called upon."--Erasmus "If a man’s faith is unstable and his peace of mind troubled, his knowledge will not be perfect."--Buddhist Proverb "Let no man presume to give advice to others that he has not first lived successfully himself."--Anonymous "People have a way of becoming what you encourage them to be – not what you nag them to be."--S.N. Parker "An open mind, like an open window, should be screened to keep the bugs out."--Virginia Hutchinson "Philosophy is a purely personal matter. A genuine philosopher's credo is the outcome of a single complex personality; it cannot be transferred. No two persons, if sincere, can have the same philosophy."--Havelock EllisToday I will not expect others to agree with my views. I will share and listen for what is good in others and myself. I will seek honesty and increased understanding from all my communications with others.
