Silence to Disarm
Instead of a standard reaction based on our egoistic state, it is far better to be silent when we hear something we don't like. The best answer to anger is silence.
If one is faced with an emotional, irrational person, one should not engage, stooping to their level, but maintain calm.

Elements of Active Listening
- Subtly nod, respond non-verbally and maintain eye contact while listening.
- Paraphrasing what the person is saying is tricky as it can lead to misjudgment.
- Encourage the person to speak more, elaborating on what is meant.

Active Listening
When someone is coming to you for advice, you have to listen, with intent. You are not supposed to jump into a conclusion and start dishing out advice.
Usually, people just want someone to listen to their problems.

Suffering and Wisdom
When we're young, we say what we feel like, not caring or not knowing about the consequences.
As we grow older, going through the roller coaster of life, we tend to become silent, owing to the wisdom that comes with the experiences of life.

“Remind yourself that your task is to be a good human being; remind yourself what nature demands of people. Then do it, without hesitation, and speak the truth as you see it. But with kindness. With humility. Without hypocrisy.”

Valuable Words
Stay silent but if you have to talk, it should not be ordinary small talk.
Meaningful talk and quality words are infinitely better than wasting breath on the weather and other common topics.

The Art of Communication
We communicate with each other as a habit but miss a lot in what a conversation really holds.
Our lack of listening skills, our inner chatter, and the urge to speak about ourselves is clouding any real, worthwhile exchange of words.

Think Before You Speak
In a social gathering or a serious discussion:
- Have control over what you say.
- Slow down.
- Instead of blurting out whatever comes to your mind, take a pause and evaluate.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
