I want to be a better sponge taking the time to not only listen to what people say, but how they’re saying it and what it means in a deeper sense. For if I truly take the time to listen I’ll learn more about those around me in ways that I might have not thought about in the past. It also will show a deeper empathy in how they got where they got there which might give me clues on the true path they will follow. Being a sponge will enable me to gain new insight to understand more so that when my moment comes to speak I’ll have plenty of information that will easily squeeze out of me.
