Want to get someone's attention? Listen

PEOPLE SHOULD JUST FOCUS AND LISTEN TO THE PERSON SPEAKING AND BLOCK OUT ALL SOUNDS AROUND. TRY IT, IT DOES WORK.

I FEEL THIS INFORMATION WAS VERY INTERESTING. I AGREE WITH IT VERY MUCH I AM VERY MUCH A LISTENER MOST OF THE TIME AND IT IS GOOD WAY TO HAVE CONVERSATION. THANK YOU JOAN SHEREN

If you're not listening, You're not learning anything!

technique I use to improve my listening skill, is to go outside in the evening and just listen
and be still. That is difficult to do. Try it and see. Then you can put it into practice with co-workers
and the people around you.

Being able to listen is not a natural thing, you have to practice in order to get it right. Not only do you have to listen with your ears but you also have to listen with your eyes, you would be surprised what you could learn about the person who is doing the talking and how much the appreciate it.

I think we need to listen more and speak less

You can't hear anything if you are to busy talking and in this day and age everybody feels what they have to say is more important than anybody else. Even the fool is wise when he is silent.

you're wright in some degree,but if the person doesn't know what he talking about why listen

Growing up...my Grandmother always said that to listen to someone, and be TRULY interested (not just "look" interested)is the most sincere compliment that can be given to them. This lesson has served me well in all aspects of life. I have tried to instill it in my son, and recently I overheard his girlfriend telling someone that the reason she fell in love was because he always asked about her, and then truly listened to what she said... Thanks Grandma!

listening first than talking,its more important we appreciate other's thought than ours then our turn comes,what a wonderful world even the deaf and mute will communicate.

A wise man once told me, "Use more of what you have two of and less of what you have one of." It took me a few seconds to think about it before I got it!

the bible saids to be swift to hear,slow to speak evenGod thinks it is more important to listen

We do need to listen more. Seems like sometimes we just talk to much

Often, listening is difficult if there's much to say about yourself, or a certain subject(s). Many other individuals learn and benefit from what one says. (Maybe, they're listening attentively too, to get to know the other person(s). Being outgoing truly has its advantages, and often helps others to overcome their quietness and/or shyness. Who knows? Everyone is different, and there's no right or wrong manner of listening or speaking. How does one succinctly respond to the age-old question/request of "Tell me about yourself"? It's noth e quantity of what one says, it's the quality. Ron B. in Cleveland, Ohio

yaeh, indeed listening workd but we need to know how to present our views in tfe most effective way.............

thanks for some tips...for me, the first thing to LEARN is to LISTEN.

Totally agree with the idea of effective listening. I know too many people who seem to be in love with sound of their own voice. You are on the money this article.

silence, sometimes, is golden.

Winston Churchill famously said that the best way to make someone think you're interesting is to let them do all the talking. They will walk away believing you are the most fascinating person they've met.
