There is a lot of difference between Hearing and Listening.Listening is active,hearing is passive.Listening is emotional,hearing is physical.Active listening takes this a step further and goes beyond just the spoken words to looking for hidden messages and recognizing feelings.
"Listening is Caring."I definitely agree with this phrase because if you are listening to someone,it means he/she is telling something important.When you listen to someone who is speaking something important,it definitely gives the teller a feeling that you respect his words and care for him.Hence,Listening is caring.
When does a person speak in front of other person??He/she speaks when the other person listens to him and not just hears.Listening is active and definitely means the person is caring for whatever the other person is speaking.And it is obvious that someone feels like speaking to the other person when the other person cares for him and LISTENS his words.
Never complete the other person's sentence.Show respect.Always have patience and listen to the other person completely,listening completely and not interrupting shows respect.Only when you show respect to a person speaking,a person feels like speaking to you.
There are two more things which you must follow when you are listening to someone :
1. Don't act as if you know it all.Do listen to what the other person is speaking,even if you know about it.
2. And never ever act as if you are doing a favour by listening to someone.Because it makes the person speaking feel offended.Hence,do listen to someone when you have the interest to do so.
To share about me-I am someone who listens with interest when a person is speaking and at the same time,I feel very irritated when someone doesn't listen to me/looks here and there when I am speaking.
