"There's a reason God gave us two ears and one mouth, so we can listen twice as much as we speak."
I've learned sometimes it's not about knowing what to say, but when to listen. Having the wisdom, all the solutions to their problems is impossible. But allowing them to open up to someone is what matters, not to mention quite possibly a solution to a huge problem. The reason being, people are no good at staying quiet, parents, teachers, friends. Everyone has to have an opinion, everyone has to have a "solution". Truth is, the greatest triumph is getting that person to find their own solution. The greatest challenge for us guiding them without steering them. The greatest challenge for them is wanting to reach that solution.
