Communication is the hallmark of building a relationship. When there is break down of communications, there is really no relationship. Communication is exchanging ideas, thoughts and feelings to one another. Listening is the most important part of communication. Listening is not about waiting our turn to speak. Instead, listening is about allowing the other person the opportunity to express ideas that may be worth hearing. Listening is a form of respecting the speaker, which in turns allows listener an opportunity to speak as well. We relate to each other through communication. Language is important to us and we depend on it daily. We can’t live without any form of communications. Even the cells in our bodies communicate with one another so that are bodies can function properly every day of our lives.

“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” Simone Weil

When we give another person our full-undivided attention, we’re telling them that we care about them and they’re interests. When we’re listening to another person, we’ve stopped thinking about our thoughts instead we’re listening to them telling us their thoughts out loud.  If the subject matter the person is discussing is of interest to us, then it is easy to give our full attention. However, if the subject matter the person is discussing is not of interest to us, then our attention is truly a form of generosity but with an opportunity to learn something that can be useful to us.

Communication is about sharing with each other our experiences and ideas. As human, we have two layers of communications— verbal and nonverbal.  It is just as important to communicate with words as it is important how we say it with words. Communication brings people together. Communication saves lives; we can warn each other of danger. When we are in need, we ask for it. This is communicating a request. Communication keeps a civilization moving everyday. We depend on communication in all aspects of our lives. We can’t survive without it. We learn things through communication. We get our news through the vehicle of communication.

Be A Listener

Listeners
Post Written By Eugene Morgan

We don’t have to win an argument or have the last word to feel good about ourselves. We don’t even have to always be right about something to feel good.

But there will come a time when we’ll be right, but even in those times, we can be silent. We can be silent but be great listeners. It’s all right that the other person have an opportunity to be heard. Sometimes hearing someone vent can be painful to our ears but that person will remember us as better listeners.

Being good listener bridges deep connections with one another. We all come with a background of different perspectives. Instead of convincing the other person that we’re right, why not show some interest in other person just by listening.

Although, there are some who will dominate the conversation, but after some time listening, we can politely thank the other person for sharing and that it is time to go to a preplanned engagement or to return to work.
