Our emotions make us deaf. Do you recall a speech or conversation that got you riled up? How well did you listen once your blood started to boil?
When someone offers opposing ideas on a subject like religion or politics , we often feel it is risky to listen. Most of us have strong opinions on these subjects. We are afraid we might hear something that could make us question our own views. We mentally stop listening while we plan our verbal counter-attack.
These are some of the common listening faults. Fortunately, with so little effort, you can correct any of them. I suggest these six ways to make yourself a better listener;
Learn to concentrate. Its an important part of listening. Practice such games as Take 2, plus 3, minus 5, plus 4 times 2, minus 6 whats the answer? Similar exercises are used in listening-training courses.
Run a TV test. With a friend or relative listen to a radio or television talk. See how many of the ideas presented you can recall. You may find yourself lost. Well, he sort of talked about. . . And then he said. . . and then. . . If so, you may have missed the main point. With the other listener, try to agree on a pretty specific statement of the main ideas.
Cut out distractions. Resolve to put aside the newspaper and stop half-listening to a radio or TV program when someone is trying to talk to you.
Accept controversy. When someone brings up a controversial subject, dont automatically go deaf . Check all-too-natural wish to stop listening while thinking up sharp remarks to deliver in the next silence.
