LISTEN TO UNDERSTAND

LISTEN TO UNDERSTAND



Listen to understand, is like cooking. A pot of Lamb stew which appreciates the addition of different ingredients. Spices like tenderizer, slice of onions, cumin, cinnamon, parsley, rosemary, turmeric and to cap it with my “Maggi cubes”. The understanding, between the stew and the spices. Gives birth to 'tastylicious', irresistible pot of lamb stew.

Relationships thrive from listening to understanding. There is a deep connection when you listen and understand, it shows the speaker means a lot to you. The bedrock of argument is when one does not listen and refuses to hear the other speak.

Being a good listener shows that your partner means a lot to you, you believe in the judgment. You get instructed and have light to shine on your path, you become slow to speak and slow to anger.

An open mind is the secret to understanding. it saves you from deceivers and scoffers. Increases your reasoning, keeps you from being ignorant and unstable.

Most of our strife.hardening of hearts. quarrels in words. result in envy, strife, malicious talk. Comes from a lack of listening to understand, we jumped to unnecessary conclusions of a matter because we fail.

There are barriers to sharpening our listening skill, for it to become a skill to admire in us :

Having a positive attitude is the first step in having good listening skills. Giving attention makes an effective listener. The ability to adapt to what the speaker says makes a better listener. if you are not able to adjust you will not be able to have an open mind.

You make listening part of life culture. it is a key to our development. As individuals, starting from the cradle. it does not only help you understand other views, but develop relationship-based on trust.

You will know the ideas, insight that will come from your employee through listening. close minds is a barrier to listening, you don’t interrupt and don’t impose your solution.

An attitude of knowing it all is a barrier, having an internal issues hinders listening

Bias or prejudice about the speaker .language barriers.

A CEO. of an organization, admits that once upon a time. when he joined the company going to work feel awkward who does not know how to fit in the culture.

One day. he decided to listen more and talk less. Because of that work started to feel like home, his employees became his family. finally, he had the best job ever.

Listening is a skill. Significance in our lives, from our personal relationships, to getting our jobs done. To taking notes in class. Regardless of how we engaged with listening. it’s important to understand that listening involves more than hearing the words. Listening is an active process by which we make sense of, assess, and respond to what we hear.
