“We have two ears and one mouth, so we should listen more than we say.”
Zeno of Citium
Generally I get more from watching then from speaking.
More from reading, be it a book or a person.
The eyes are a mechanism for intaking information, so much so that a majority of our brain capacity is tied to vision in some manner.
If we have spent millions of years evolving to observe to survive and thrive, why do we disrupt that with our mouths?
Close mouth, open ears!
