“The act of compassion begins with full attention, just as rapport does. You have to really see the person. If you see the person, then naturally, empathy arises. If you tune into the other person, you feel with them. If empathy arises, and if that person is in dire need, then empathic concern can come. You want to help them, and then that begins a compassionate act. So I’d say that compassion begins with attention.”
— Daniel Goleman

“People love to talk but hate to listen. Listening is not merely not talking, though even that is beyond most of our powers; it means taking a vigorous, human interest in what is being told us. You can listen like a blank wall or like a splendid auditorium where every sound comes back fuller and richer.”
—Alice Duer Miller
“To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage; because we don’t want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.”
—Madonna (via kari-shma)
“Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.”
—Oprah Winfrey (via quote-book)
“To me, you are perfect - And my wasted heart will love you”

1. First impressions last, right? This is why we need to learn how to greet others from different cultures. Maoris may find it offensive if you refuse to rub noses with them!
2. The world is filled with the most fascinating cultures, but some are just a bit too strange for my tastes….
“Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.”
