"La sabiduría es la recompensa que obtienes por escuchar durante toda una vida cuando hubieras preferido hablar."
— Maurice Switzer
Simplified Meaning:
When you spend your life paying attention to others and listening carefully instead of always wanting to speak, you become very wise. Wisdom is like a special gift you receive for being patient and thoughtful. For example, imagine someone who loves talking and always shares their ideas first, but when they get into a situation where understanding and patience are needed, they might struggle because they haven't practiced listening. On the other hand, someone who listens deeply learns from others and understands different points of view. They can use this knowledge to make better decisions. So, if you focus on hearing others, you will learn more about people and the world, becoming wiser as you grow older. This advice helps us to be more effective in relationships and work, as understanding people often leads to better outcomes.
