2. THE HUMAN VOICE
● It's the instrument we all
play.
● It's the most powerful sound
in the world, probably.
● And yet many people have
the experience that when
they speak, people don't
listen to them. And why is
that?

change in the
world?

8. Don’t Gossip
“If they gossip about everyone to you,
then they are gossiping about you too…”

9. Don’t Judge
“If you judge people,then you have no
time to love them.”

it is better than mournful complaints”
