Do you always listen others?

There are times when I am an attentive listener, there are other times when I'm bored with listening and would rather do something else or would rather do the talking this time around. But I guess I'm more of a "listener" these days because part of my job is already talking and most of the times I'm already tired of talking the whole day so I'd rather listen for a change. hehe.. So there you go, it depends on the mood and I think being a listener takes practice. It's difficult to just sit there and listen to the person talking, more difficult it is if they're talking mostly ranting or some nonsense and you don't have the choice but to listen hehe.. But yeah, there are good topics and conversations which I really appreciate. Have a great Mylot experience ahead!

Hi VP There are times when we need to speak up too.. So I prefer both..he he.. On talking time I used to talk and I am good listener as well. Listening others (not useless things) surely can help us in many ways.. Specially listening to some experienced person can surely help us for same thing.

Hello, I think it's beneficial by listening other's activities. Of course, it's not good to close our mouth all the time but I believe that listening takes part in every conversation. In my case these days I tried to listen my friends conversation and I tried to be a good listener. Have a great day.

yaa, you should listen to others, if what they are telling is good for you. also observing other people's attitude and activities is also good, you can know how to deal with this people later. but just listening and keeping quite is also not good. if you have any questions to ask, but you just listen and don't ask, how will you be able to get answers to your questions. so sometimes its good to debate with others, then just by listening to them.

Hello friends,Listening is as important as Speaking.Yes,i too listen a lot when other persons are speaking and talk somewhat less(not very much talkative kind of person lol).But sometimes i continue my conversation for a long time if the topic is interesting.I only express my opinion when it needed.Most of the time i listen carefully to others with a lot of patience.When we listen carefully,we understand the subject more precisely and able to comment on it in a more convenient and efficient way.If some person comes to us with a problem and asks for our view or help ,then first we have to listen to him very carefully so that we can analyse the problem in a proper way and find the most optimum solution for it.As such now a days people are giving much emphasis to listening along with speaking when it comes to communication skills development.The law is first listen carefully and then react.Thanks & regards.........

noway,I can't listen for a long time.but i know people like who listen to them rather than who make them listen.But i can't able to control my mouth

I do find that not many people are good listeners these days. I don't know if it's just my perception because I know for sure that I cannot be 100% listening to friends' stories most of the time because my mind would wander. But having said that, I do try my best to listen. I also feel like a lot of us are impatient and some are slow talkers than others, some also can't get their feelings expressed properly that we tend to make the mistake of putting our own meaning to what the other person is saying. I've read this inspiring quote this week about listening and I reflected that it holds true on how we should listen: Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn’t hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor. ~ Hugh Elliott

There's always something to listen to other- but not everything. I listen to people who are worth listening for. People who speaks of things that are full of sense. Not every people who talk much are talking with sense. Most talkative people talk senseless.

I think we are pretty much alike. My friends come to me whenever they have problems, and I do not mind at all. I also learn from them in a way as much as they learn from me through the advises that I impart them.

Hi VP, Yes, if I don’t pay attention, I may end up doing mistakes, so better to listen and understand fully about the subject matter. But again if someone is just talking about something which is not relevant to me, I only hear him. Being a good listener is one of the qualities of a good manager – be it your workplace or home. Another advantage of being a good listener is he/she usually has sharp memory. They don’t forget things easily. So if you are willing to listen, you gain a lot. It can also improve the skill of being patience, making us more focused while taking decisions. Of course I do make sure others are listening to me when I speak too. Take care

Yes as a matter of principle and according to my training I always listen first before opening my mouth to come with an answer. I never want to talk unjust because that can create problems in between the two of us. I know some people jump in to show their supremacy before the talk is complete by the starter.

We are of the same boat vidhyaprakash_2. I like to listen even from a little child who speaks. And from that experienced I think, I gained more knowledge and wisdom.

It is great to know that you are a good listener. I believe while being a good listener is itself a good quality, it requires an individual to have other good qualities like patience and respect to others. And these virtues seem to be, if you like, rare these days. I myself find most of the times lacking the patience and interest in listening to others. This has become kind of an habit to talk more than listen. However, I strongly believe that if I would have listened to more, I would be benefited more. But, unfortunately most of the times I just can't help it! I hope I'll one day grow into more ''listening'' type of person. Good topic for discussion. Thanks for posting and again thumbs up for your good virtue.

Puring out or listening,I'm always selected in differnt occassions,which means, if you are talking on and on I will behave as a good listener, if you are the other then I will be the opposite. For my best friends, I'd like to be a perfct audient when they want a listener.However, I also can be an active speaker in a proper situation. So I am a comfortable companion to my friends.

Hi, vidhyaprakash: Listening in my opinion often more important than the speech, when we listen to others, be our ability to understand their personality and how to deal with them.That is a major problem, whether at work or in the family, is the lack of or poor listening to others.Often be trying to solve our own problems without listening to others is useless Elders always listen to others

It depends on what the person is talking about if its interesting or not. If its useful for me or not. But of course you wont know it unless you listen. I was told by mother that I should always listen when some talks especially to our teacher. From here I have already make it habit to listen when someone wants to explain.

Hi friend, Very interesting topic!I am like you. I listen more to what others have to say rather than putting forth my own opinion. I am very observant as it helps me learn a lot simply by watching and hearing others. By listening, we can gain a wealth of information and knowledge in my opinion. Of course, if we are asked to put forth our opinions, we should definitely do that, but it does help a lot to be watchful and pay heed to others' talks. Happy Mylotting

if they talk really interesting and keep me glued,i will surely keep listening to them forever

I am a person of few words. I listen to others and very observant of how others act and behave but I keep to myself whatever I noticed. I also believe that listening to other we will learn more things.

oh it's depends.if the party have a lots people and some guy i dont know,usually i speak very little and almost spend all the time listening and watching other people.but if those people i know well i would talk much more. it although depend the topic.if i was interested in it and familiar with it ,i would like talk than listen
