It is that thing without which you simply can’t handle what life brings you.Įveryone has something to say and wants to do it now without listening to the story someone is telling us. It is a highly respectable virtue that true leaders have developed. Mastering patience helps you control your mind. This is how I learned so much about the people, lifestyle and history of a certain country together with other very interesting facts and stories and made friends by just listening to others. I had an interesting 2-3 hour conversation with two women, goldsmiths, that had been traveling all their life and been almost everywhere.Īnother girl had just been in the army and had many moving stories to tell me. Some told me about the history of Israel, others talked about wars – an inevitable part of their life. It turned out that they were rarely given much attention and were very happy to get it from me, a young girl eager to learn about their country. They are a wonderful nation and I was glad I asked and listened carefully to what they said. But I was very interested in their culture and wanted to learn all about it from Israelis themselves.įrom one word to another, I became friends with most of them. Of course, they were there on a holiday so nobody from the hotel’s staff and local shops tried to get to know them. Some time ago, while I was working a summer job, I had the chance to meet foreigners from all over the world. Just imagine how instructive a story from an experienced person can be. You learn.Īsk questions, engage in conversations, listen to public speakers and lectors, hear what your friends and parents tell you, take advice and learn whenever you can. You may be surprised what a positive effect on you this may have. So why don’t you help someone today by listening to what they have to say? Make them feel comfortable and let them speak. They have so much going on in their life and head, that everyone who is willing to just sit and listen to them is like their savior. How does listening help us and the ones we communicate with? The Importance of Listening to Others 1. Listening to others is an art, a path to other people’s heart, an effort requiring patience, sometimes a battle with yourself, and a skill you need to learn in order to evolve as a person and unleash your potential. Communication would be real, everyone would say what they want and won’t keep it in their head, conflicts will lessen and people will refind their compassion.
The world would be a better place if people listened to each other more. That way we will be able to connect with others on a spiritual level, not being driven by our egoistic instincts which make us speak without listening. Most people often forget that we have one mouth and two ears, which means we should listen twice as much as we speak. What if I tell you that listening to others is much more important than speaking?
