So, I've been away from the blog for awhile. Silent. And I have been silent in other ways of my life, too. It can be good or it can be bad, depending on how you choose to look at it. I'm choosing to look at it positively, and that is why I chose it for my #5.
A very smart businessman here in Papillion, a man that I have come to admire and respect and one that I want to be proud of my accomplishments sat down one Thursday morning to talk to our Association. He is very humble and certainly does not brag about all the incredible things he has done in his lifetime. He was asked about how he did - the key to his success. It was so simple: "I listened." He listened to what the people wanted. He listened and observed to see what was needed. And in the end, contrary to what some thought he should do, he was right.
Silence is the key, I think. Being quiet and just hearing what others are saying. Not working on a rebuttal or what you want to say while others are talking. Taking the time listen and to be silent. Your heart and head will tell you when to speak.
