   Another   40   advantage of speaking is the chance it provides to   41  the admiration, respect, or liking of others. Tell jokes, and everyone will think you’re really a   42  man. Tell them all you know, and they’ll be   43   by your wisdom. But keep quiet, and it seems as if you are a   44   person.

As for controlling others, it may be true that it’s hard to be persuasive while you’re listening, but your  53   to hear others out will often make them open to your ideas  54  . Listening is often reciprocal (互惠的). “You get what you   55  .”
