Listen to Someone

Yes, give someone a listening ear.

Why?

Yes, you need to do this to cultivate that interest in other people.

Have you ever tried to tell someone about your problems?

Did you notice that the person didn't or wasn’t paying enough attention, at least most of the times you were talking?

Why do you think this is so?

Of course, he or she wasn’t play-acting at all.

He was really not all that interested.

Fact is, most people are not that interested in listening to another person moan about his or her problems.

Okay, depending on your relationship with this person, he may be interested to listen.

But…

There’s something else they are more interested in.

Guess what?

Of course, they are more interested in themselves—and their own problems.

So do you want to build that interest in others?

Make sure you listen to people.

They will naturally like you and would allow you to connect to them.

It might be tough, though.

But there’s a silver lining at the end of the tunnel.

And that is it the fact that you will learn something new about this person, his or her life experience so far, his struggles and challenges, his joy, dreams, hopes and aspiration, his fears, and also something about yourself too in the process.

Because, believe it or not, the person you are listening to is just another you.
