Good morning! I think the last word in that quote should have been "do"!

Good morning Paul,

Great quote and the only thing I'd add to that quote is to "participate."

Amazing, isn't it, Paul... what you can learn just by observing and listening? Love your photo this morning.

It is much more difficult to acquire wisdom.  It does take time.

Good morning Paul. Paying attention and observing along with listening can be considered a short cut to knowledge. Enjoy your day.

Pal, I have seen "newbie" agents fail because they thought they knew all there is to know about this business...if only they observed more they would really know more!

Hello Paul, sounds like something Ben Franklin would also share with us.  Make it a great weekend coming up.

Be still my heart - observing is something I've always done - not thinking anything about the why. But I did realize  that just observing and being quiet  gave me an opportunity to learn and see what was working for folks and what wasn't working.  I still observe - why folks do the same things over and over - when they know they'll get the same result again - I just don't get it.  Oh well, don't need to get it either, it's their path.

I like this one very much Paul!  Have a great weekend!

Paul, I think that probably is the best part of being single, you get to watch everyone else!   You do certainly learn things!

Hi Paul- I am a big observer of life and people.  It's probably why I never mind waiting in airports or waiting rooms. Great people watching.
