The Thang: Run or Ruck

Moleskine: I was having a conversation yesterday with someone, and I realized that I had already determined that their opinion/belief was wrong before they had finished talking. This is NOT the right way to handle the situation. We need to stop and truly listen to people before determining the validity of their statement.

Listening involves more than just being talked at.
