BE QUICK TO LISTEN
We all use to learn by listening not speaking. When we speak that means we are not learning. When do we speak, when we think that we know and it is the biggest barrier to the way of learning. When you think you already know the subject than it becomes difficult to learn more.
You can learn from any individual person by just listening to them. Every individual person knows something that you might not know. Even the age doesn't matter nor matters how much the person is educated. Sometimes even the child can teach the elders and uneducated person can give the lesson to move on in life.
Pride robs you from learning from others. Pride keeps you ignorant, while making you think you are wise.
Romans 1:22 Claiming to be wise, they became utter fools instead.
Listening doesn't mean that you need to accept everything you hear. You should be wise enough to evaluate the truth, by being humble enough to listen and evaluate what they need to say.
Listen and learn. Talk too much only embarrass yourself.
Proverbs 17:27-28 He who has knowledge spares his words, And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit. Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace ;When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.
Proud people act as if they have a duty to display their superior knowledge, to all who listen. They are quick to speak, because they know they are right.
Proverb 10:19 If you talk a lot, you are sure to sin. If you are wise you will keep quite.
Some people can talk so much that sometimes they start sounding fool. They think by talking much they are gonna impress people and there they do a mistake. Don't be too anxious to impress someone. Better be quite and listen, it will help you to calm down and even you anger will not pup-up.
Better be busy with your work and and when someone speak just keep a habit to listen rather than to argue.
ALWAYS PRAY: God help me to become a quick listener, and slow down me to speak and slow down my anger.

Amen
