How many times have we heard or said the words "you don't listen". Countless! How about "you don't listen to me"? I am scolded so many times for this.
Today's quote is "Learn to listen. Opportunity could be knocking at your door very softly." Author Unknown.
In this busy world we live in today, we all multi-task, and sometimes, we don't listen as carefully as we should. A few weeks ago, there was a fire drill at my office. Information was given as to what to do etc and afterwards questions were asked. During the session, there was someone busy checking messages on a blackberry. When the questions were asked, this person was able to answer all the questions correctly while the others present were silent. The power of listening!.
Listening is a skill that we can all learn to develop. It's hard for some people to listen to others but for those that have done the listening, opportunities were found from which they benefited.
