Let’s be different from the others and start listening actively. Me, another me and a big me? Who dominates a conversation and tries to pay more attention to what others say.
Maybe this is a good time to understand why we have a mouth and two ears, to talk about half of what we hear!(or listen twice to what we say).
Now you have a superpower at your disposal, to be the hero of any story.
