Listening with affection and excitement

“Recently, I saw a man I had not seen for 20 years. He was an unusually forceful man and had made a great deal of money. But he had lost his ability to listen. He talked rapidly and told wonderful stories and it was just fascinating to hear them. But when I spoke ó restlessness: ‘Just hand me that, will you? … Where is my pipe?’ It was just a habit. He read countless books and was eager to take in ideas, but he just could not listen to people. When he has been really listened to enough, he will grow tranquil. He will begin to want to hear me. Well, this is what I did. I was more patient.” (Thanks !)

“Yes, I’ve gone and done it. After many (and many, many, many more) requests, I have finally gotten around to starting my AdSense blog. Many of you know me as Jenstar, I am the Google AdSense Moderator at WebmasterWorld… Apparently some of you are quite interested to hear what I have to say about AdSense, other up-and-coming contextual advertisers, and my thoughts on some of those ‘AdSense tools’ out there. I hope I won’t disappoint.”
