sftu

Seek First To Understand, before being understood.

A motto to live by.

Coincidentally, it is a play on the acronym stfu, which is used in inverse situations: when you dismiss someone.

"How can that guy believe that? I'm going to tell him he's wrong and I'm right."
- "Why? Do you want to wave your superiority over them?"
"Of course not! I want them to see what I see!"
- "Then sftu."
"Huh?"
- "Seek first to understand, before being understood."
