book 4 lesson 15

listening

do you know anybody who , once has started talking never stops? every time you try to say something or make a comment, he or she wouldn't be quiet. this situation may be extreme but sometimes it happens. it has been said that god gave us one mouth and two ears, because we need to spend more time listening than speaking.

in a day of digital cameras, ipods, cell phones, internet, there's just too much information. sometimes you simply need to be quiet ant listen. listen to your friends. listen to a family member. listen to yourself.

listening is the first step in learning. "seek first to understand and then be understood" is a good counsel taht will help you better communicate with your boss, friends, children, parents or spouse.
