Listening
Listening
“Most
people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent
to reply.”. Stephen R. Covey.
Good
listening encourages others to express their ideas, opinions, and various
expressions about life. Listening is an art that most people fail to pass. The
most essential quality needed for a listener is to understand others
fully. Once the listener understands the
speaker well, then there won’t raise a matter of verbal response. The more you
listen the half you speak for better.
Proper
eye contact of the speaker creates greater confidence in the listener. A listener cannot assure the speaker about
listening unless he looks into the eyes of the speaker. The art of listening
never can be compared with hearing as the latter represents an only sound. If
one interprets half of the speaker’s message, the ideas may not be completed
and may cause the speaker to deviate from the actual message.
Active
listening is considered one of the essential soft skills needed in one’s life.
It’s the basic nature of all the people to speak and interrupt the speaker
without coding completely. The speaker’s burden can be reduced through good
listening. The speaker himself should take solutions to their problems rather than
imposing resolutions and suggestions on them.
The
art of listening may be developed patiently through self-introspection.
Training isn’t applicable for listening as it varies from person to person. Hard
skills may be learned from institutes or universities but for soft skills, the
person himself might be the best trainer.
We may have
enough courage to speak or protest something against but the same effort is
expected to listen to the things from others.
Good speakers
may not be good listeners too. Accept the positive ideas through active
listening and adopt them in life.
Thanking you
