Replying to LO24916 --
Andrew Campbell asked what the characters are:
The ancient Chinese symbol for the word "listen" has the 5 characters in
it. One of them is the heart. The symbol for the word "think" has 2
characters. A child's head and a heart.
"The modern-day pictogram for listen is composed of symbols for ear, king,
eye, and heart, the fifth character is a One. The meaning is to listen
with the ear, giving respect as you would a king, watching with the eye,
and doing this with a full heart. The ancient pictogram for "think"
represents a baby's skull connected to the heart. The meaning is to that
to think requires an open mind connected to the heart. An ancient
dictionary definition describes the "silk threads" that connect brain and
heart."
