eternal youth with a book

When you listen to a speaker or you read a book, does not give too much importance to individual words or even whole sentences. Forget the isolated thoughts, do not even cling to ideas logically presented. Remember that your partner, even if it wanted, can occur in other ways as using forms of language ready. Pay attention to the expression of his face, listens to the intonation of his voice, it will help you get into his soul through words. Not only in conversation but in a book one can detect the sound and even the timbre of the voice of the author, detect the tiniest nuances of expression in his eyes and face. Do not hunt for contradictions, do not argue, requires no proof: just listen carefully.
