One thing that all of us need to learn is the importance of listening. It's important because a lot of our attitude is fashioned through listening. Also, our reactions are based, in a large part, on what we hear or do not hear, and our opinions are shaped by our listening or lack of it....To listen is to have more than the ears open. Your heart must also get the message. And not until it does has a person really heard....The good listener does not simply hear words, but, waits to listen to what another is saying through their attitude, concerns, and emotions.....One can best listen to another by trying to understand, appreciate, and feel with that person......That person listens best who brings acceptance and understanding-who responds with reason-who reaches out to seek answers instead of giving them.....The next time somebody wants to talk, be sure and listen...In the right way.
