You cannot listen to the word another is speaking if you are preoccupied with your appearance, or with impressing the other, or are trying to decide what you are going to say when the other stops talking, or are debating about whether what is being said is true or relevant or agreeable.

Although some of my books are supposed to be hated, no one ever tells me.”

“Some of my greatest pleasures have come from finding ways to overcome obstacles.”
