Research shows, listening and asking questions, endears you to people. They see you as ‘likeable’ and ‘open minded’. They open their minds and share their beliefs.

Come on, let’s start talking again.
We, as a society, really have no idea how suffocated people are in their emotions. Most people have nobody to express themselves entirely to. Everyone is holding back their vulnerabilities to maintain the social image of a confident and happy person.
When am I a Failure?
Some people turn every experience, favorable or unfavorable, into milestones of success. They live and die as successful people.
What do you play? Offence or Defence?
Look at the person looking at you and say, “I have had enough of playing silly losing games with opportunities. I have had enough of settling for crumbs.
