A very informative book on how to be successful in today's world was written by Stephen R. Covey. I have not read the whole book yet, but would like to share the 7 habits with everyone so we can implement them into our lives now.

Point 5 is Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood

Use empathic listening to be genuinely influenced by a person, which compels them to reciprocate the listening and take an open mind to being influenced by you. This creates an atmosphere of caring, and positive problem solving.

Thanks for sharing.

Good point. Listen and learn.

True. How can we possible know anything about how to help other people if we don't honestly take the time to listen to them.

Listening is a great tool that many of us fail to use. We do a lot of talking, but to truly get the whole picture, one must listen more than speaking.
