                                                              | Speaking is a way 
															  to connect with 
															  people. For 
															  speaking (at least 
															  for me) involves 
															  listening. My 
															  listeners tell me 
															  much through their 
															  comments, 
															  questions and 
															  expressions. I 
															  give, they give 
															  and we both 
															  prosper.
