With this in mind, the businessman preached to his fans that they should focus more time on what others are saying rather than trying to get their points across. He advised the world to listen more in a day than they speak, adding that this could completely change the way they have been living their lives.
Try this, listen 2/3 of the day, talk only 1/3 and watch how this changes your life. You’ll become far more powerful, far better at investing, you’ll have more knowledge and more information. Trust me on this.
While the words may seem quite open-ended, considering how successful O’Leary has become, they must hold some truth to them.
