Our family recently celebrated my daughter’s birthday by going to a Chinese restaurant. At the end of a nice meal I opened my fortune cookie to find the following saying:
“By listening, one will learn truths. By hearing, one will only learn half truths.”

But better hearing leads to better communication only when you listen. Use your brain. It’s a gift from God. And like many of His gifts, the more you use it, the better it works
