The main way to gain wisdom is to remain silent and listen to the Torah thoughts of the wise. When you speak, you are not learning anything new.  But when you listen to teachers, you increase your knowledge.

There is greater benefit to be derived through your ears than through your mouth.  Therefore, we have two eyes to read the written Torah and two ears to hear the Oral Torah, but only one mouth with which to speak. ~ Vilna Gaon

There’s a mashal of someone who was throwing coins and bills off a high building because he wanted attention. But everyone was looking down to collect the money, and no one was looking up at him. So he began throwing stones, and finally everyone looked up to see who was throwing the stones.

This is people’s nature to recognize Hashem when there are hardships, but not when everything is good. ~ R’ Elimelech Biderman Shlita
