LISTENING AND COMUNICATION.

Listening affects all kind of communication.

From the time the alarm clock ring until the late news winds up, we are inundated with things to listen to as we proceed through our day and as we move from person to person, from class to lunch, from formal discussion to casual conversations, we are constantly called on to listen. We are expected to listen to others when ever we interact face-to-face with friends and acquaintances, use the telephone, attend meeting, participate in interviews, take part in arguments, give or receive instruction, make decisions based on information received orally, and generate and receive feedback.

The Ethics of Listening. While all of us continually engage in activities that require us to listen, some of us fail to pay enough attention to the role listening plays in these activities. The tragic shooting at educations however, should put us on notice that we need to listen to other. Listening as well as the failure has an impact on our relationships.

With Listening

To get what you want in your career, stop talking and star listening. Listening is not just hearing what some one tells you word for word. You have to listen with a heart. Nothing new ever entered the mind through an open mouth.


The Chinese character for “listening” combines a number of symbols representing the ears, the eyes, and the heart, suggesting that when we listen we also need to give our undivided attention and that we should not rely on our ears alone but should use our eyes and our heart as well. In your opinion, do most the people you know accomplish this goal? Do you?

Famed American author Ernest Hemingway is said to have uttered the following words: “I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening. Most people never listen” on the basis of your personal experiences, do you think Hemingway’s conclusion is right? Do more people never listen? Apparently, the corporate world believes there is some one truth in Hemingway’s words. Over the years, a number of American corporation have run advertising campaigns designed to promote awareness of the importance of listening.

Do you believe that you listen well? if you do, you have get some thing new.


See you letter.
