Three Times Listen

‘If you want to be truly understood, you need to say everything three times, in three different ways. Once for each ear…and once for the heart.’

‘I’ve learned that true dialogue requires both speaker and listener to try several times to get at what matters. So much depends on timing, and so, I’ve learned not to repeat myself, but to play what matters like a timeless melody, again and again, if the one before me is honest and sincere.’
