I have twenty five percent hearing loss, but with help of hearing aids I do just fine. Hearing is not what I am going to talk about, but rather those of us that pretend we are hearing, but are really are waiting for the other person to stop talking so we can speak. We have all heard the old saying, we were given two ears, two eyes and one mouth and we should use them in that proportion.
It is hard to hear when we are running our month all time. So here are some ideas to help all of us to make people happier and learn more. Instead of wanting to talk all the time why don’t we start listening more? A lot of good things can happen. As I said earlier you make people happy because you are paying attention to them by listening to what they are saying. People really like to be heard so give them a chance and listen to them.
You might also find out that people will want to be around you. People like other that make them feel good and by hearing what they are saying you are truly doing that.
One thing you can do is let them know you are listening to them by nodding your head and when they stop talking ask them a short question about what they were telling you. You might find out they might even want to hear what you have to say. If these things occur you are having a true conversation. Your learning something and the person you talking with is to.
By really hearing (listening) to people you will find other will want to be around you.
Happiness and Wealth to you.
