I have noticed recently in many random conversations that I am impatient to push my ideas, rather than to truly listen. Is that I am afraid of what I might hear, arrogance, or simply a bad habit?
The conversation didn’t start like that, but that is probably the question that resonates within my mind. I was in the garage, with a feeble attempt to start the MG. I had poured some fuel stabilizer and carb cleaner into the gas tank, charged the battery, and sprayed ethanol into the carb air intake. It turned over and ran for a second, but no more. My neighbor, an older well-kept woman (in her 50s, perhaps), spoke to me briefly about the car.
