Improve your listening skill - one of the ability to encode information understandably
2 minute read
Listening is
one of the ability to encode information understandably.
Hearing is the
ability to receive information audibly without understanding.
Often times
you hear when you are spoken to, but didn't actually listen to the content.
Hearing doesn't mean you understood. Listening gives you understanding. Please note
the difference today to avoid flaws in conversation.
Few people
read without understanding the contents in and yet pass comments that reveal
they couldn't catch on the message submitted.
They read from
beginning and skip the middle and conclude the message was either good or bad.
And such people are so sure they got the content right, thus wrong approach to
absorbing real content.
Listening,
often time people walk into conversations of others and interrupt with what are you discussing? They are known
to be conversation intruders.
A good
listener need not interrupt the conversation, but as you keep listening to the
dialogue you can really have a better layout of what is as stake and can then
voluntarily join the conversation through effective listening.
Men have
complained that often times they try to share their issues of life to their
spouses to just listen without comments. Honestly at times they don't need
advice or counseling just listen and say nothing or conclude "it’s well
babe."
But African
women immediately start with a dose of advises here and there. Most of them
confess it is a put off, thus why they don't share their issues at home to some
spouses.
Women must
know the built up of men. Their own mothers are always advising them on what to
do. The men claim they often have the answers but only want to create
conversation but often time bad listening spouses mar the sitting chat up.
Today, I urge
someone to try listening instead of hearing. Be easy to talk to and fun to be
with in terms of conversation.
Don't be
headmistresses in all matters or your relationships. If someone needs your
opinion or advise he will let you know. There are times that all you should
choose to say is “really! or I see" and that makes you a better
listener or effective listener.
