What’s something most people don’t understand?
Most people really listen. This is because listen is hard work. We are not always inclined to be good listeners, but we are always distracted by many things when we are listening to somebody speaking. In fact most of people when they are having a conversation with some one, they spend a good part of their brains thinking about what to say in response to what the speaker is saying, consequently, they loose details of the speech in the process. In fact, experts in communication says that an original message is distorted as it passes from one person to another, one reason for this is because of our poor listening habits.
If we could nurture the habit of effective listening, maybe there would be lesser arguments, quarrels and conflicts. When other people are talking, we should stop this habits of trying to insert and to stamp our stand on what they are saying but strive to understand their point of view. Our desire to safeguard what we know can be found from the way we keep interjecting when someone is speaking but not in seeking clarifications or reciting what they have just said, but to express our opinion and show our experience on the subject in discussion. This way we may loose a valuable wisdom we could have gained from the speaker, because we delighted on talking than listening.
