In my everyday life, I have been faced situations that I feel how important to hear others many times.
It does not indicate how long you listen to others. It does indicate how far you empathize others feelings and thoughts.
When it comes to conversations, I tend to react like “what are you talking about?” instead of “what are you trying to tell me?”. Today I realized the reason for this thanks to my bosses advice. The people who are willing to pay attention to others and try to understand others always doubt themselves when discussions occur. They try to catch up with others. Though it is true that they are not always wrong, they can understand others’ feeling or thoughts in a deep level. Thus, they can move on to the next constructive discussion quickly.
From now on, I quit concentrating on how to share my opinion. What others feel and think is the one aspect of truth. By hearing them, it will be a great opportunity to review my way of talking and re-think about how I can talk to them effectively and appropriately depending on each person and situation.
Good nightʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
