“It is important to listen. My most frequent mistake<br />
is trying to impose my point of view or other personal<br />
expectation on a multifaceted world. When we set<br />
out to improve life for others without a fundamental<br />
understanding of their point of view and quality of<br />
experience, we do more harm than good. Often, little<br />
more is required than to listen. The best change is one<br />
that enables those with plugged ears to hear what the<br />
so-called ‘voiceless’ have been voicing all along.”<br />
