'Listen' and 'Silent' are spelled with the same letters

Feisty women,
Have you ever said, “listen and silent are spelled with the same letters”? I had this poster in my former classroom and often reminded students about how to really listen, silently. Most of the adults that I know need a gentle reminder, from time to time, to do the same. So, feisty women, really listen as you are being silent. You will hear so much more when you do.
