“Wait… BUT… “
– a person who is not listening
Fourth
thing we need to stop doing in order to be happier is Interrupting.
We all want to be heard. If however you are ready with a response then
you are not truly listening.
I am
guilty of this some times. The reason I
believe we do this is the belief that our point negates the point the other
person is making. In a sense we are
trying to top them.
We
have to remember that we know what we know BUT we do not know what the other
person knows. It is amazing how much
one’s listening improves when we expect to learn something from the other
person. Perk up your ears and get
smarter. They know what you do not know.
As
Covey urged us, first seek to understand before you are understood.
Today’s
question is:
“Do you
believe that other people hold important information for you?”
