Teach your children to listen carefully and to speak thoughtfully. The best way to teach this is to listen carefully and speak thoughtfully to your children, from the time they are babies. Take their questions and ideas seriously... learning to speak and listen as if our words matter is fundamental to education. Dialogue is not the same as mindless chatter. Above all, listen, listen, and listen to your kids.

I just want real reactions. I want people to laugh from the gut, be sad from the gut - or get angry from the gut.
Believe in yourself, listen to your gut, and do what you love.
I know at the beginning of our careers, my wife and I were gut wrenchingly competitive.
Listen to your gut. Are decisions more expansive or narrowing?
A friend told me to listen to my heart. Another friend told me to listen to my gut. Maybe I need an autopsy, because right now my colon is kind of iffy.
