Listen to learn
As we see in our relations, listening is one of the most important tools to keep our bond stronger.
On my observation, when people make efforts to feel free to listen to or offer their time to, then that friendship or relation grows with time so easily.
We may say that the secret
of influencing is not being a good talker rather than being a good listener. It
seems we give a gift of time to them. It is a kind of respect we pay to whom we
want to talk by just listening to them.
On the other hand, It is impossible to ever
listen effectively when we are nervous and feel disturbed, not at ease, then
listening becomes not easy. That’s why for effective listening, we really
require having a sound and comfortable way to deal with it.
Along with this, I have
discovered two ways of listening – Passively & Actively
Active listening is usually
the one who is asking questions & then waiting for a response. It requires
an intense involvement in a conversation even when the listener’s lips are
still.
Active listening requires
concentration, focus, genuine interests to involve and purpose of listening too.
Listener also requires a great deal of silence & patience. If a listener
cannot be silent from within, then how can be listened what is being said to
him.
Listener need to know when
to raise questions and when to admit what is being said.
Another way about passive
listening is listening without any reaction. Allowing speaker to speak without
any interruption. This is one-way communication where the listener/receiver
does not ask questions or provide feedback and may or may not be understood the
sender/speaker’s message.
So through this article
would you really interest in knowing that which listening is yours actively
or passively ?
