Listen with Predatory Intensity

My dear sons,

Listen with an almost predatory intensity.

In a world full of noise, the true gems are hidden in whispers.

Absorb every detail, every nuance, like a hawk eyeing its prey.

People reveal their secrets in the subtle pauses, the unspoken words, the fleeting glances.

Become masters of reading between the lines.

It’s in those moments of quiet observation that you’ll find the deepest insights and the most valuable lessons.

Listen not just to respond, but to understand, to connect, to truly know.

This skill will set you apart, make you a better friend, partner, and leader.

So, sharpen your ears and listen with a focus that’s almost predatory.

The world has much to tell those who are willing to truly hear.

Love, Dad
