3 tips to be a good listener

-


In the haphazard data of Internet it was always difficult for me to find a simple answer on how to be a good listener and how to be better at conversations.

This simple questions answer came to me after reading books both fictional and non fictional, observing people linked as smart and making a fool out of me. 

so the magical and not so magical answer is....

1. Listen 

Listen! just listen with no other thought in mind. do not think what the next work you will be going after the conversations or how boring the person is talking or what answer should you give after the conversation ends.  

2.  Analyse

Analysis seems like a big word to digest.  what does it mean actually? how should I analyse while having a conversation (after just reading the above second point). 

What I mean by 'analyse' is to see do you think the other person speaking making sense to you! 

and if the speaker is sharing some new information then do not analyse but listen till your heart beats with the breath of speaker and ask questions to know more. 

3. Say what is relevant

I have heard this famous quote 'speak less and have more respect' (you can say it is said by me)

but speak only what is relevant with the conversation going on, what seems correct to you.

This whole process might take a hang on you for a while. but it is worth it.

Day 1

 this is day something but but for me it is going to be day 1. Dear World, (I hope you don't discover this)  I am sitting in my Sales and Marketing lecture. The guy who notices my move and reciprocating his observation I am doing it too. Did I come to class today? Why was I absent and why was I absent. He can be observable and he might not be. But this is my mind saying now. Well let's hope he does because little bit of attention doesn't hurt anyone. it's pleasure.  Well, I know there is nothing but who cares!  I am happy in my little world of awareness that he does when in actual he does not.  I am trying to explore. Because I did not have many options in my past or I did but was hesitant about it.  We are having our Role play as our assignment for the elective. we are the group of 4 people; 2 people being buyer and 2 people being the seller. We had obviously practiced it earlier but there where i was asking the question to the other team as the buyer and ...

Before I was checking my phone and just picked up  my phone the breaking news came..........

We were coming back to the university and I can only imagine what disappointments everyone ...

the funeral cult

-
I was grieving. Somebody just died and I don't know who it was. It was a full moon night on the beach and as silent as ocean's bottom except for the only noise of water waves exploding into each other touching the shore. I was standing on the beach. There were two more people adjusting the big flag like banners of triangular shapes. They were adjusting it to form two edges of a door, a wide door whose one side will take you to the sea and the other side will take you to the land of humans. The flags were waving with the winds and with the music of waves. Here I was standing and listening and watching without any thought. My eyes were seeing but not watching , my ears were hearing but not listening, everything was moving and that was it. The mind was empty. The heart was feeling nothing except for the chill the cold air showering gracefully.  One of the banners had my name on it and the other had some other name which I do not remember. May be it belonged to the same person whos...
