If you listen to people today with greater attention, you will hear things of greater value. Try not to let yourself be distracted by loud and booming voices or people with flashy attitudes. Instead, tune into the people who are quiet: when they do speak, they may well say something interesting. There is a strong current of compassion in your life right now, and this side of your personality needs to be encouraged. Engage with shy people and you'll catch details others miss.
