Most of us don’t have time to think about others. Everyone is busy fighting their demons. So, if someone stops to offer some advice, then pay your full attention.
Stop giving excuses, sharing other problems and wasting time. You may unconsciously satisfy your pride by deflecting what is said to you. But, if you do not listen and act, they may not come back again.
Respect the people who genuinely care about you.
Listen carefully to someone who cares!
