“I suspect that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention And especially if it's given from the heart. When people are talking, there's no need to do anything but receive them. Just take them in. Listen to what they're saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don't value ourselves or our love enough to know this.” PeopleIfsKnowsWayNeedsGivingHeartPersonsImportantEnoughCareValuesGivenUnderstandingPowerfulAttentionTalkingCommunicationImportant ThingsCaringSuspectsOur LoveJust Listen Book:Kitchen Table Wisdom: Stories that Heal, 10th Anniversary Edition Source: Kitchen Table Wisdom: Stories that Heal, 10th Anniversary Edition
“There is no evidence that suggests women are naturally better at caring for children... with the fact of child-bearing out of the centre of attention, there is even more reason for treating girls first as human beings, then as women.” FirstsHumansChildrenReasonFactsGirlHuman BeingsAttentionEvidenceCaringCentreChild CareCentre Of Attention Author:Margaret Mead
“I think there's a danger with any great art, that if you begin to test your ideas on other people, and get their opinions before making decisions, or if you pay too much attention to what other people say about what you create, that it really pollutes your expression. I think that I'm much more about pure art and honesty and expressing exactly what I feel, and not caring so much what anyone says. However, I do respect, and I do pay attention to everyone's comments. And I do take them into consideration. But I don't base my decisions by it” PeopleIfsThinkingFeelsArtIdeasDecisionPayAttentionOpinionToo MuchHonestyDangerExpressionPureTestsCaringPay AttentionConsiderationCommentGreat ArtMaking DecisionsNot Caring Author:Marilyn Manson
