Why silent and listen go together?



It is all in the alphabet. Both these words silent and listen have the same letters in English language, of course, arranged differently: S I L E N T. When you are silent you listen well and understand well. Here is my take on the subject of silent and listen analysed by each letter.
S:         This letter stands for Synchronization. When you are silent you tend to sync your body, mind and spirit in optimum manner. In the body side your ears are listening and your mouth speaks a point or two where necessary. On the mind side you are attentive and free of distorting thoughts. In cosmic analysis, bringing your spirit early on helps synchronizing.
I:          Standing for Inner voice, this letter gives you the ability to get signals from your inner mind.  As the process of listening goes on you get intimation, guides, hints, prompts and clues from your inner mind so that you can clarify a point here and clear a doubt there. This type of mind prodding is the ultimate skill most successful corporate leaders possess.
L:         Of course, this letter stands for listening. But not the mundane, pedestrian and verbal flow of words and statements uttered by the talker. Here it is about listening to what is unsaid. Similar to your listening to your inner voice, you develop the skill of listening to matters un-said by the talker. In sum, you are reading his mind and thoughts running in him which he is not spewing out but keeps close to his chest. Most people talk and they say they are frank about it. The point is, that they keep many things in their sleeves. When you are silent, you can hear what thoughts are simmering in their mind.
E:         Enumeration is what is meant by this letter. Most people do not talk in logical or sequential manner. They are not going to list item in any intelligible order. They meander, digress, and say many things imprecisely. It is your duty to enumerate the points they are talking about in logical sequence so that you get the hang of what they are really talking about.
N:         Node is implied by this letter. You know node is an intersection between two or more branches. As a silent person you will be able to draw the nodes and connect the facts you have enumerated already and get an idea as to what the talker intends to convey.
T:         Theme is scripted by this last letter. After making the nodes, you can detect the theme which forms centrality of the subject, argument or proposition the talker has in mind, but never expressed in clear and precise way.
Here is an assignment for you. Donald Trump says the mantra “America First” wherever goes. Be silent and listen to his lecture. Follow the SILENT frame of analysis explained above. Can you tell me what he really means by this catch phrase?
