Just tune in to 9 o’ clock
prime time news of an Indian News channel.
The
discussion on an important subject on national interest is marked by unruly
political participants whose duty at that juncture is to outwit the other
participants and shout him down.
In this
scenario the casualty is the nation,when everyone is shouting nobody is
listening.
One of the
basic need of any individual is to understand and be understood.This require us
to listen to them.
Everyone
amongst us claims to be a good listener.However we can recollect only 50 % of
what we have listened few minutes back.
Active
listening is more of listening,it is listening what is
not said!!
Tuning in to
the speaker is best way to listen to him.One has to be present during the
talk.Active listening requires to us understand the nuances and undercurrents of
what the other person is saying .This can be done by tuning to the tone ,pitch and
emotions of the talker.
If you want
to develop active there is small exercise which needs us sit in a quite place
and then count from 1 to 50 without your thoughts drifting you off.If you can achieve this then it means you are
capable to active listening for 60 sec.Though it may look small ,in case of
conversation it is decent period.
Listening is
attached to the self worth of a person.
Think when you are not being listened
how do you feel.Worthless,right?
