"Listen, really listen...you will learn more by listening & watching carefully. Then you will know if you can give useful advice or if they are just needing someone to talk to, to share a feeling or a thought they need to work through or let go of.
When a person is talking to you think only of what they are saying, not what your answer will be, or where you need to go, or what will be for dinner.
Maybe they are just asking for a hug. Maybe they just need to feel that they are more important than everything else - right now!
There will come a time when you will need these things- having friends + family can help you get through anything.
Our lives go by much too quickly. The more you focus on your day & the events in it the more you will have to remember the little things that add time to your life will not be as easily forgotten.
And the people who have had so much to add to your life will not be either!"

Interpret this any way you want...
