Listening to others.

listening can not be done by everyone,some just listen and the moment passes off they forget what they heard,they forget.Its only for time being they try to listen.Some listen and try to implement it.Some do not have any sort of listening they are made only for teaching others.And such people will not be getting good receiving from others.Because it becomes a one way thing,and no one would be interested in such listening one way.

Yes, you are right, each person should learn to listen, but some persons only talk consecutively, not consider the feeling of other people, it is really bad.

I always try my best to take the opinions of others into consideration ,but is so hard when you work in a place full of envy and competition. Power should be used to help the innocent ,but most people use power to put others down. Is important to be open to new ideas ,but some people think that they are perfect and that they have all the answers. It would be so much better it we would learn to take other people's viewpoints into consideration before making decisions. Sometimes a fresh idea from a young person might be the answer to our problems instead of thinking that experience is everything.

Hi Pose: I agree with your point of view and I just need to add that when you are open to hear the points of views of people that don't think the same way you do, you becoem a more talkative person and you also knew different points of views, other conceptions of the world. In these times you understand that you are not always right and on the opposite, people around you can help you to be wiser. ALVARO

Well, indeed, listening actually improves relationship. IN fact, good conversation is one of the aspects where in good relationship is being developed. I think without it, relationship will never grow.

If we are open to discussion, it will create a good atmosphere and can share the ideas.

Yes, listening to others is a good way of improving concentration. The mistake with most human beings is that they are good speakers rather than listeners!

I totally agree...though sometimes it's hard to listen to the person who repeats and repeats the same discussion....it would make every relationship better even if your doctors listened closer to what you say...

To be a good listener is of great importance as it encourages the one making a speech to go on with his ideas for us to share and to discuss. Only when we are good listeners can we have a good communication with the speech-maker to exchange ideas or opinions. Take care, Pose.

How many times have I mentioned communication in my discussions? I'll bet it's up in the hundreds by now. This subject is the bane of my existance, it seems I am always asking, did you listen? did you ask questions? did you let them know what you think? For anyone who consult with others, these are some of the most basic questions. A lot of the time they go unanswered, from the outside looking in or listening in they seem so simple. Blessings

Some people just want to express themselves, some people asked for different opinions and advice. Whatever reason it is, yes it is always healthy when we are always open to what others are saying. But there are times when you don't agree to some things, still it can make up a good discussions i believe. :)

Hi, Pose, I agree with you. It happens that I've just finished an interesting book by Larry King with the same general idea. He explains that if you listen to others, if you are interested in what they say, then you will be able to lead any kind of conversation. He calls all this "the secrets of good communication". Unfortunately what I see later around me is just the opposite. People speak about their problems when they want to be heard and if you want to tell something other than they want to hear, they stop listening. Anyway, I like to listen to the other's stories. That's why I like so much myLot.

Be a good interested listener is a priceless gift. But not only listening, you can also be active by giving feedbacks to have a positive two way communication. I think it is important to feel the center of attention as a listener and a speaker in a reciprocal manner.

hi:) Yes I agree with you that listening is a good way to strengthen relationships, this is the best traits that I love about my best-friend she knows how to listen when I have problems and try to understand me, so in return I do the same in her.

Everyone likes to be the center of attention. If you can sit still and give someone your undivided attention, when they need to express something, you are indeed doing an important thing. The best part of the whole thing is, if you actually listen, you might learn something. The better a listener your are, the more learned you can become and the more friends you will make and keep.

i agree that it will make the relationship better, but listening is difficult to do. mostly a lot of people are able to hear but not listen. there is no understanding and consideration on the conversation, topic, the person, and the emotion.
