“Most of the successful people I’ve known are the ones who do more listening than talking.”
-Bernard Baruch
This is something I’ve done before a few times and still feel it’s never enough. I’m talking about listening.
Yes, I’ve posted and reposted this article a few times. And I continue doing so periodically because I feel it’s crucial in building a relationship with all of you members and readers. And hence, here is that article to give YOU, the reader, your time under the spotlight:

As I type this, it’s been a few
hours since President Joe Biden was officially sworn in.
At the stage our country (and quite frankly, the world as well) is in, there have been polarizing views everywhere. It seems as if everyone has lost the ability to envision a middle ground.

Whether it’s COVID-19 or something else or both, everywhere I look someone somewhere is scared, angry, depressed with a mountain of stress on their shoulders. And that’s okay because we’re all human beings.
Amid all those emotions though, just remember that someone always loves you and cares about you. At times it may feel like you have nobody, (I go through that feeling very often due to depression) but there’s ALWAYS somebody out there. Somebody is happy you exist, like today’s quote says. Somebody cares about your happiness. Somebody is concerned if you’re down on your luck.
With that in mind, I’d like to do something I’ve done once before with this section. I invite all readers of this post to post how they’re feeling, due to whatever’s going on in their lives in the secure comments section below.
As I’ve always said, the first step you can take when you’re having issues is to speak up. And I’m inviting people to do just that. You can talk about your mood. If you’re comfortable with it, you can even go into details about why you’re feeling the way you are. If not, just put in one word like “happy,” “sad,” “angry,” etc.
Basically, I’m saying that I see you and would like to hear you as well no matter how you’re feeling.
