Benefits of Listening

Now what does listening offer? When we are traveling or when mumma switches off lights in the room listening offers you the following:

1. Listening lets you know what is going on- If we believe that life is about learning experiences, the more you listen and understand, the more you learn from your experiences.

2. Listening makes you more competent- Listening makes you look intelligent- This is a double edge sword in that the better you listen the more knowledge you acquire but it also makes you look  intelligent.

3. Listening increases your power- There is a saying that “knowledge is power, use it”. the power of  knowledge gained through listening enables you to have more data at your disposal than others.

4. Listening helps you understand others- The only way to understand others and make them meet  your needs and you meet theirs is by listening to them.

5. Listening defuses anger in others- The best initial response to emotions is made with your ears. By listening to an angry person, you understand the cause of their anger and you can then demonstrate proper empathy.

6. Listening builds self esteem-

7. Listening makes love real- listening is one of the most convincing expression of love and caring. By taking time to listen, you affirm the other person and show them that they are important to you.
