"Be slow to anger, swift to learn, slow to speak and swift to hear."
Be quick to hear the hard words that people bring to you. Then be slow to react. Don't rush into denial, retaliation and rationalization. Our challenge is to convert the energy once used by our self-defense machines into listening power, vulnerability power and contemplation power. We need to say to ourselves, Before I flare up, I'm going to quiet myself and listen. I'm going to be quick to hear, slow to peak, and slow to anger, I'm going to search for the truth.

I think these are great words to live by and they are great not because someone said but because it is Biblical. At times very difficult to live the way of Jesus but if you live this way you will never be the same.
