Hello everybody
how are you doing
I've thought today of sharing this topic with you
Lets Do More Than Nod and Smile
When I was younger I used not listen to people when they talk
just Nod and Smile
in fact I used to do as my father when I start a conversation with him
he never listened or even mom
they just keep nodding their heads while they are thinking of something else
and believe me the one who's talking sure knows that your not listening when you don't or when you just nod your head
soon later when I realized how important it is to listen to people very carefully when they talk
and how it makes us learn new things
I've wrote these tips
hope everybody will follow them carefully
----------------------------------------
first : Just listen
don't travel with your mind to another world
It'd mean a lot to the other person if you kept attention
second : respect
Even if it’s someone you disagree with show respect for them as a human being
Be polite
If you can’t make your point kindly then wait until you can
When it's your turn to say your facts, state them clearly
If your facts are shown to be wrong, don't get mad
third : if you are in an argument, ask sincere questions
If your goal is to win the argument at all costs then you aren’t a listener. But if you’re really seeking to understand things then ask questions that will help you grasp what others believe
and last : Don’t expect the same in return
Many of us don’t have the patience to listen
So don’t expect someone you disagree with to discuss issues following the “guidelines” listed above.....
Hope my topic will help you be better listeners
Thank you very much
