Hear ye, hear ye! Read all about it!
Now hear this!
I hear ya'!
Just hear me out...
Have you heard the one
about...?
It is astonishing how much
hearing we do.
And how much we’re expected to
hear.
She had to appear in court for
a hearing.
I hear you loud and clear.
He needs a +hearing aid!
What’s even more amazing is,
while we’re so focused on
hearing all there is to hear...
Very few are actually
listening.
Having spent the last nineteen
years attempting
with my wife to raise three
boys,
Seems to me that we need to
alter the focus.
Hearing without listening
is like ice cream without the
calories,
+Diet Coke without the
caffeine: what’s the point?
To go along with hearing aids,
I think we ought to invent a
listening aid.
In this perfect world, the
devise would be voice-activated,
and it would provide whispered
reminders every 5 seconds.
Examples:
“Listen up!”
"Pay attention."
"Take note."
“Think before you speak.”
“Forget the words - what does
he really mean?”
Pay heed, what do you think?
Are you with me?
Hello?
Hello?
Just a thought...
