Quote Of The Day

"I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen"
        -Ernest Hemingway 



I've decided to do a quote of the day 'series' on my blog, where I pick a quote from a famous author, actor, movie or whatever else I choose and tell you what that quote means to me. 

I decided to choose this quote by Ernest Hemingway because 1. Ernest Hemingway has been one of my favorite authors for the longest time and he ultimately is one of the three authors that have inspired me to become a writer and 2. I feel as though I can relate a lot to this quote. 

My whole life I've loved to listen to stories and conversations rather than be the one telling them. Listening to stories from my parents, my grandparents, my aunts and uncles. It's always been my favorite thing in the world. 

I feel like a lot of my morals and values have been instilled through the listening of the stories my family members have told me. 

Also, I think listening is very important to your life because if you spend your entire life not listening well you'll never really know the amazing opinions and stories that others have to offer to enrich your life.
