Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of being a good listener in order to be an effective communicator. Despite the commonly held belief that being a good talker involves speaking fluently and eloquently, the quote reminds us that true skill in communication lies in the ability to actively listen. By listening attentively, we gain a deeper understanding of others' perspectives, needs, and concerns, allowing us to respond thoughtfully and engage in meaningful conversations. Being a good talker, therefore, is not solely about expressing oneself, but rather about genuinely understanding and valuing the input of others.
