HOW TO LISTEN 

l The ability to listen and the enjoyment of listening is a key part of developing a beautiful mind

2 A good listener pays attention and seeks to get the maximum value from what is being said. There are two focuses for attention: the point the speaker is

trying to make; and the separate value of what is being said (in its own right).

3 Listening is not just having to wait impatiently until you can yourself speak.

4 You may get new information and you can probe for further information with questions.

5 You may get a new point of view which had not occurred to you before.

6 There may be new insights and sations that are triggered by the speaker.

7 You might realise there are alternative perceptions that are new to you.

8 You may learn the reasoning behind a point of view quite different from your own.

9 You could learn how people apply values which differ from your own.

10 You should take note of the words used and especially the adjectives, which indicate feelings.

11. You should make a habit of repeating back to the speaker what you think you have understood. This is both useful and important.

12 You should use questions to check on facts and to ask for more details around points of interest.
