God
gave us two ears but only one mouth. Some say that’s because our Higher
Power wanted us to spend twice as much time listening as we did
talking.

One
of the most valuable things we can do is to become a good listener.
When we concentrate on absorbing what wiser and more experienced members
say, rather than thinking about what we imagine others want to hear
from us, we will grow in our program. We are aware that “when the pupil
is ready, the teacher will appear.”
Often,
the teacher is an unlikely source. Some of the things we most need to
hear may come from someone new to the program. If we are highly
educated, it may come from someone with no education at all.If we are
materially successful, it may come from someone who has nothing. We are
all teachers and all students in the program. We constantly learn from
each other, wherever or whoever we are.
I
shall never stop learning as I will always be a pupil in my program.
Thankfully, I will never graduate. There are no diplomas, only
revelations. I will be a good listener.
