listening when people's talking

I think when the people's talking I listen and absorb their views because I only think that it can be work for me.

Hi Friend Congrats for getting perfect 10 so soon!!!!!!

I am the total opposite. I usually just listen and don't talk. I am someone who talk less.. Quiet person in fact. Which makes me quite a boring person at times... Both listening and talking improves conversations and relationships, this is what i learnt from my boyfriend.

True. Some people so good in speaking but when come to listening, they didn't understand what his communication partner speaks.

Yes thats an important part of communication.To be an effective communicator you should be first a good listener.

hello friend,I think i'm also belong from that category only because i never listen what people are saying and my sister always scold me that i never listen to her and she had to repeat again and again.

There is a good reason why we have two ears, and only one mouth. We should listen twice as much as we speak. If we only speak, we do not learn anything new, because we only hear ourselves. If we listen, we hear what others around us know as well.

hi cintoy you make a really good point.Iused to be bad at listening til my young son had said, mom you never listen, that brought me uphort as I did find I spent much time formulating what I was going to say that I had stopped listening before the other person had quit talking. thats unfair of a mother or any one else for that matter.we should listen to all our children have to say before we start talking to them.we learn so much more when we are quiet and paying attention to the other person speaking than in just talking non stop. lol.

The act of listening and finding meaning between each word being uttered takes a certain kind of attitude. Anybody can stop talking and pretend to be listening but instead thinking of words to say to the speaker. And so the discussions or arguments lengthen. Not call knows how to listen because they refuse to listen. I agree with you that it is a good exercise that we lean how to listen. Listen to the people talking. Listen to the actions of people. Listen to the feelings of others. have a god day mylotter!

It has something to do with our attitude, because our characteristics do influence the way we respond to other people. The first example is the ego, the belief that we know better than the other person, and our opinion is more valuable than the other person's point of view. We have to learn to be humble even if we are correct, by accepting the fact that the other person may have something to say, something which we have never heard, or thought of before. The second example is patience. Without patience we tend to act in haste, thus not giving the chance to other people to complete their turn. There are other examples, but I believe the above are important in order to have a successful conversation or discussion.

My father used to cut me off in mid sentence with 'listen,you might learn something'. I was little and a chatterbox. I think he was right because when you are quiet and listening, you pick up on so much, it might be the way a person says something not just what they have said. My daughter is the sort of person who rushes into things and then evaluates the task after she has done it, I was like that once but I have learned that you must stand back and take it all in first and that includes conversations. You have to have all the bits of the puzzle before you can make the picture.

That is true, we must learn how to listen, so that others will listen to us. You gain more when you listen, and then, from there you will be able to dispense knowledge. So Listen carefully, attentively!! ehehe, I am so redundant.

i am a good listener and i feel u should be a good listener . listen to everyone but do wat u feel is right

Yes, I agree we should listen first before pouring out what's inside our head because if we just talk and talk we may end up looking like a fool or a know-it-all.
