This unification of speaker and listener is actually and extension and enlargement of ourselves, and new knowledge is always gained from this. Moreover, since true listening involves bracketing, a setting aside of the self, it also temporarily involves a total acceptance of the other. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will fell less and less vulnerable and more and more inclined to open up the inner recesses of his or her mind to the listener. As this happens, speaker and listener begin to appreciate each other more and more, and the duet dance of love is begun again. -M. Scott Peck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None of us knows what the next change is going to be, what unexpected opportunity is just around the corner, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5542]]></link><description><![CDATA[None of us knows what the next change is going to be, what unexpected opportunity is just around the corner, waiting a few months or a few years to change all the tenor of our lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Matthew is a leader and he showed that on Sunday when he just said to the boys to have a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Matthew is a leader and he showed that on Sunday when he just said to the boys to have a positive frame of mind.
