Careful listening is difficult and takes practice to improve. Try harder to understand the other person’s perspective, that takes an expression of caring enough to listen.
Listening isn’t a need we have; it’s a gift we give.
We all need to feel that we are being heard and understood. It is a basic human need as primary need, the ability and need to communicate touches every area of our lives.
Everything we do in life requires communication with others, but Its rare when u find someone who knows and use the art of listening or care to improve that kind of art in his/herself .
As long as listening is important as speaking in the communication process, i taught that i might write to you some suggestions for developing your listening skills:
- You must accept the fact that listening to others is your strongest weapon,whci means that you are going toDevelop your desire to listen.
- Observe your own and other people’s listening habits. Ask yourself what it feels like when someone really listens to you and when they don’t.
- Listen without formulating a response to the speaker.
- Always let the other person do most of the talking.
- Don’t interrupt, ask yourself When you are about to speak, if it is really necessary.
- Ask for clarification if needed. This will clear up any misunderstanding you have.
- Get used to ‘listening’ for nonverbal messages — body language.
And as an ancient Greek philosopher said: “Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak.”
After reading this Let everyone ask him/herself are we a good listeners, do we listen to others as they listen to us? And if its not I think we need to think about that.
