Listen

From my observations time to time, I have noticed that there are a number of people that don’t listen when another person is talking to them. A lot of people don’t put aside their own opinions, thoughts, and conclusions. You have to learn to put them aside until you have heard and understood what the other person is trying to say. Listen to understand, rather than preparing for your defense. Think before you say anything in response, especially if you are having a strong emotional response. Listening is so important. People don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t listen and who constantly talks about themselves. Be the person that people come to because they find you to be a good listener and you give great advices. Remember, the world does not always revolve around you.
