I feel there is a ton of truth in this piece of wisdom. I think this is true of many folk, more so today than perhaps many years ago. So many seem to think they know it all and refuse to listen.
My mum used to say this when dad 'turned' deaf at times. It was amazing how often though he would hear when we spoke quietly perhaps not wanting him to hear!!
Yes it is very true. Although a tad deaf these days I try sincerely to listen when people speak to me. I continue to live and learn, even at my age. Never too old to do that.
My father expressed this as
