Sample #1: I may be quiet but I listen very loud
I may be quiet but I listen very loud: On my shirt I would put: "I may be quiet but I listen very loud."
As many people know I am a quiet person. Not many people know me very well. Several reasons for this are: I don't need to hear my voice all the time to know I'm alive. I feel and breathe, thus I know I'm around. Another reason is I don't need to monopolize conversations to get attention, or to interrupt people all the time so I can be the center of attention-I know who I am, what I need and how to get it. I don't need to hurt others to build myself up.
But I do hear well, I hear others cutting "friends" of theirs apart, saying unkind things just to make themselves seem better. I hear people's feelings being hurt by others ignoring them. I hear when no one speaks to me because I choose to be more considerate of others and not to follow the crowd. I hear tears on faces, because they aren't accepted by some because they don't have the right looks, the right clothes, or they are not cool enough to be popular. I hear the loneliness of people sitting in the folding chairs at a school dance because they are not loud enough to be heard.
I plan on listening to my children like my own parents listen to me. Surprisingly they were the ones that taught me to listen.
