Teaser Tuesday 9/28/2010

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Communication Mosaics: An Introduction to the Field of Communication
"We might do well to heed wisdom offered by Mother Teresa shortly before here death in 1997. Here's an excerpt from Dan Rather's interview with Mother Teresa (Baily, 1998).

Rather: What do you say to God when you pray?
Mother Teresa: I listen
Rather: Well, what does God say?
Mother Teresa: He listens.

~Communication Mosaics by Julia T. Wood

I'm still submerged in acedemia right now so you get a teaser of my Communications book. I really like it though. I'm learning more of listening than talking. I'm finding it very beneficial as a mom of teens. ha! ha! It's amazing what we miss when we think we're listening when in reality we're usually just waiting for our turn to talk. Quite insightful. 

Now it your turn. PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your two ‘teasers’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks:D

Very interesting.... sometimes we all go so wrapped up in what we want to say, that we forget to listen to others. Good reminder!

Mine is from Anne Frank's "Diary of a Young Girl", which I am re-reading for the up-teenth time, in honor of Banned Books Week.
