"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen" -Winston Churchill
In my opinion, this quote is says it all about having courage. This is one of my favourite quotes because it illustrates that in order to take action you need to listen to others around you. By doing this, it shows your character of willing to change and it shows that you are accepting of people's thoughts. For example if you want to stand up for something and other people have similar idea's, you want to listen because they will support you in that change you want to see in society. Every person has their own unique talents but it takes the courage to come together and use those talents for change in society. If you rise to take action, you also need to listen to other people because that action affects the whole community.
Ray you make a very good point in this post. Listening is the other half of making an action work properly when seeking the right solution.
