HARUKI MURAKAMI

• Silence means that everything is still and safe. 
• Silence is really a higher form of speaking, speaking without actually using words.
• SIlence is wonderfully humble, it never interferes, never interrupts, never makes promises.
• Silence is an ocean of untapped potential ...

When we are about to say something, we need to ask ourselves what we want to say is actually necessary or not, and what if silence is a better option here, which is true in many cases.

We can simply WAIT (Why Am I Talking?) and practice self-restraint, or simply speak through body lang...

Be curious about your partner’s point of view rather than trying to anticipate every situation. Active listening involves:

• Paying attention to your partner.
• Tolerating your silence.
• Paying attention to your partner’s nonverbal communication.
