Are you a good listener?

Tweet

There is a article about how to be a good listener. When I first went to London as a student I sat alone during parties with my glass of wine..I hope people would think that someone might come up to me and say ,"excuse me! I hope you won’ mind my coming up to you like this,I don't want to interrupt your ... but really ,you are the only interesting looking person in the room! may I take to you?" It never happened! here is some advice if you would like to be a good conversationalist:be an attentive listener. Ask questions that other people will enjoy answering .Encourage hem to talk about themselves and what they have done. Remember that the people you are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their problems than they are in you and your problems.A person's toothache means more to that person than a famine in Chna which kills 1 million people .A pain in one's arm intersets one more than 40 earthquakes in Africa ,Think of that the next time you start a conversation. Diogenes,the greek phiosopher who is supposed to have lived in a barrel, said "the reason why we have two ears and one mouth is so that we may listen more and talk less!" Do you know how to get on with people ?Do you ever feel shy? what situation makes you shy ?Do you sometimes feel as if you don't know how to interest and amuse people and have conversations with them ?do you search desperately in your head for something to say? so people find an excuse to leave you as soon as they can? Try listening !
