Sir Richard Branson had this to say about listening. “Wherever I go, I try to spend as much time as possible listening to the people I meet. … I am endlessly surprised by what new and useful information I can gather just by keeping my ears open.”
And, equally so I have always had open ears to hear and see what valuable skills another person has. It would be great if all could value the gifts that others have to share no matter race, gender, or socio-economic class.
Let's celebrate March 3rd for International Hearing Day with the theme of "Hearing Care for All" and March 8th for Women's Day.
