The next time you communicate with anyone, you can put aside your own autobiography and genuinely seek to understand....

Don't push; be patient; be respectful. People don't have to open up verbally before you can empathize. You can empathize all the time with your behavior. You can be discerning, sensitive, and aware, and you can live outside your autobiography.

- Stephen R. Covey
