I love hearing stories, telling stories, sharing stories. I've shared 37,000 on the Oprah show! Every day I was like the town crier.
The difference between hearing and listening is paying attention
What kills love? Only this: Neglect. Not to see you when you stand before me. Not to think of you in the little things. Not to make the road wide for you, the table spread for you. To choose you out of habit not desire, to pass the flower seller without a thought. To leave the dishes unwashed, the bed unmade, to ignore you in the mornings, make use of you at night. To crave another while pecking your cheek. To say your name without hearing it, to assume it is mine to call.
Rule number one is, make sure that you face the person with hearing loss when you are speaking to them.
Hearing the word is the devout receiving of the will of God.
Recently we've been hearing a lot about women "having it all. " Myself, I think that is not really an accurate description of female lives today. It seems to me that what we have been up to is DOING it all.
Once upon hearing a friend's bashing comment I said, "Did you reach that conclusion on your own, or did it come through prayer?"
That whisper you keep hearing is the universe trying to get your attention.
This is not a legitimate congressional exercise. This is not a fact-finding hearing. This is theater. This is a charade. This is stage craft. This is nothing more than a political hit job on a women`s right to choose. Which, by the way, is constitutionally protected.
As Negro voting increased, Congress got an improved sense of hearing.
The things you do not have to say make you rich. Saying the things you do not have to say weakens your talk. Hearing the things you do not have to hear dulls your hearing. And the things you know before you hear them; these are you and the reason you are in the world.
You don't have to pound your head after hearing a country song and wonder if you missed something.
To hear the Japanese plead for free trade is like hearing the word love on the lips of a harlot.
The literary gift is a mere accident - is as often bestowed on idiots who have nothing to say worth hearing as it is denied to strenuous sages.
Went in at the one ear and out at the other.
I'm so sick of hearing how there's no strong roles for women. I don't care about strong roles. I just want to see women who are characters! A nun, a serial killer, a housewife, as long as there's some depth there.
For twenty-five centuries, Western knowledge has tried to look upon the world. It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.
Please pray & wish me well (in hearing session). All I want is to clear my name and return to the badminton.
It's too hard to present an opinion on something that's not true to who you are. It's much easier to base opinions and debates off of fact and your true heart on things. To me that just comes quite naturally, and it's also about being open to what the debate is about and hearing the other side.
I like interacting with fans and I like hearing what they say, but you have to take it all with a grain of salt.
