"The Wise Man Has Long Ears and a Short Tongue " Ans-  The proverb “The wise man has long ears and a short tongue” means that a wise person listens more and speaks less. “Long ears” represent good listening, while a “short tongue” means controlling unnecessary speech. A wise person listens carefully before giving an opinion. He does not speak in anger or reveal unnecessary information. For example, if two friends have a disagreement, a wise person listens to both sides patiently. He understands the problem first and then gives a calm and useful suggestion. If he speaks without listening, he may make the situation worse. In our daily life, listening helps us learn new things, understand others and avoid misunderstandings. Therefore, we should develop the habit of listening carefully and speaking thoughtfully. In conclusion, we should remember the similar proverb: “Think before you speak.” True wisdom lies in listening more and speaking less. Prepared by - Jyoti Walunj-Landge 

Expansion of Idea -  " Attitude is the Worst Kind of Communication" Ans-  “Attitude is the worst kind of communication” means that our behaviour and attitude can communicate more strongly than our words. A rude, angry or proud attitude can hurt others and create misunderstandings. Even if our words are polite, a negative attitude can damage relationships. For example, suppose a student asks a teacher for help with a difficult lesson. If the teacher replies politely but shows an angry or uninterested attitude, the student may feel discouraged. On the other hand, a friendly and helpful attitude makes the student feel comfortable and confident. Therefore, we should always communicate with respect, patience and kindness. We should understand others and avoid judging them quickly. A positive attitude creates trust and good relationships. In conclusion, our attitude speaks louder than our words. As the proverb says, “Actions speak louder than words.” Prepared by - Jyoti Walunj-Land...
