Face Value...

We got two ears and one mouth ...

3. So that we speak less and hear more...

45. We might get to hear twice what we speak... so speak nice and you get to hear twice as much nicer things and speak foul and be prepared to hear twice as much crap...

2. We can control what we speak, but cannot control what we hear... so manage what you do, and don't worry about the rest... what has to come to you will come to you...

5. I can't think of anything else right now....





p.s. and this completes 700 posts on Chai Ki Dukaan.... thanks !!!

  3. i somehow dont agree with the post..

    You speak , whats there on your mind..
    People who usually speak a lot ,speak their heart out ,they express what they feel in a better way...and its all about expressing..right? if you feel stong about about something,then speak it up..
    atleast whatever is ther in your heart , is ON your mouth..
    and yes personal experiene says..good speakers , are somehow better listeners...because , if they can blabber crap , they have the patience to listen to it too...

  14. # Vaishali,

    I am not sure why you think I am talking about speaking less... I am just talking about hearing more that speaking...

    and thats a personal opinion :) not a fact :)

    good speakers and people who speak a lot are two different things... absolutely different !!

    if you are a good speaker, you will probably not blabber crap !!!

    # ~Me...
    hmm... all the best to you...

    # Ankit...
    oh cheete bas aisa hi hai :)

    it rocks because of the people who come here :)

    # Bhumika...
    700 yes... over the past 4 years :) long way eh!

    I am not really an obsessive blogger, a commited one maybe yes :)

    thanks budds...

    # Subbu...
    :)

    i think you've always been a good listener... something that I learn from you every time i meet you :)

    And the party is on :) for sure :) abolutely proper party... thoda sa mandarin bhi please !

    # ~Me....
    thanks...

    # Fighter Jet..
    I think the two things are different... I am insisting on listening more than speaking, and she talks about why not speak up and expression...

    I agree to what she says too, however partially though...

    thanks..
