Become a good listener and change your life
For so long time I used to think that I needed to be a centre of attention if I wanted to be successful. I was one of those people who had something to say in any meeting, I wanted people to hear me. In my strive to make other people hear I neglected to hear what other people were saying. I used to think that my ideas were better than other people and my unbelievably boring stories were better than other peoples stories. A few weeks ago it dawned on me that I was missing out on very important life lessons that could possibly brighten my future because of the desire to be the centre of attention. I have realised that every conversation i have has a possibility to change who I am and change my life for the better.
If you want to transform who you are and were you are in life I suggest that you start listening more than you have ever done before. I remember going to lecturers at University and sitting in the room with 3oo people, i would say nothing because there too many people in the room. All I did in my lectures is listen and learn and i learnt a lot. Three years after I left university I realised that this method applies to day-to-day way of living. A lot of business could be very successful if they listened more than they talked. Staff with great ideas who are never listened to by the management has resulted in a lot of talent going used, problems not solved and very unmotivated work force. The bottom line is this, every thing you need is around you all you have to do is talk less and listen more.
