Far too often we fail to listen, to truly understand the language and message the other person is conveying to us. I enjoyed reading the interview.

I love how he stressed "observing". I think we can learn so much by observing others, and listening. Often they are saying one thing, but if you observe/listen long enough, you "see" their true self. That can be a real eye-opener. <em>Barbara Swafford's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/bloggingwithoutablog/DWWZ/~3/330497394/' rel="nofollow">Your Today Is My Tomorrow</a></em> Hi Karl,
