LISTEN and SILENT are two words, an anagram with exactly the same letters. One of the most powerful ways to connect is to listen and be silent 

The power to listen and the self control to be silent 

 

We have two ears and one mouth and are often in transmit mode rather than receive.   We often make far too much noise in our internal world (in our heads) and in our external world, the amazing world that we all live in.

Virtue comes from the Latin word virtus, and put simply, is moral excellence A virtue is a positive trait or quality deemed to be morally good and is thus valued as a foundation good moral being and fortitude and seek to promote and improve individual and collective greatness.

Go Silent Friend

When you find someone that you can trust, when you talk and share confidences, the more silent the friend the stronger the freindship, the deeper the trust.

We live in a social media and information rich world, that is instant and increasingly less private, less secret. and so the trust of friendship and a friend that can listen and stay silent, without betraying a confidence is a rare gift.
