Seeing the specialities of someone takes effort and practice, but brings us great rewards in life. The more we cultivate an attitude and vision of seeing virtues and specialities, then the more we will naturally see those specialities and virtues and they will grow in our own life.
Our life is meant to be lived in balance like yin and yang, and one such balance is between sound and silence. We need not become a hermit and go and sit on a mountain top.
