Usually when I start writing any
piece of blog, I start with things which are irrelevant to the subject. This time I am not going to divert you because I am going to write something
serious and important. Mmmmm wait, Let me be myself. Because, anything serious conveyed seriously won't reach the
targeted audience effectively. So I have to take this route of conveying
indirectly.
Think about any personality whom you like or follow. I am sure you will not think about the one whom I am writing about. Have a list of best personalities may be 5 or 10, still you won't think of the one in our subject. When we think of personalities, we think about celebrities, cricketers, speakers, authors, etc. But I am sure, this type of person would have made a difference in your life, yet we don't remember them.
The world has recognized the best singers, best authors, best speakers, and best in all kind of arts but failed to recognize the one who is more important than all these personalities. Take a moment to think about those personalities who influenced your life positively.
Humans are meant to face both ups and downs. When we are happy we talk, we express, and we enjoy the moment. But when we are down, usually we won't express at least to those it doesn't matter. Yet we wish to express it indirectly to the one whom we trust and love. We expect them to understand us. And we want them to listen to us.
Have you come across anyone, with
whom you share your downs and when they listen, you feel light? I'm sure it’s
an YES. You don't need advice but just a listening heart.
Listening is a skill. It can be
developed but it should come from the heart.
We come across the term communication very often. He doesn't know how to communicate. His communication skill is poor. He is bad at communication. When we say this, are we right? Here we mean only the words. Communication is not just the words which we speak or write. It’s more about Non verbal and Listening. We tend to forget the most important part of it. I am not a good speaker, but a good listener. If you feel so, next time when someone comments you, your communication is not good, give him back. [But it’s always good to improve the speaking and writing skills] okay let’s not talk management. Let’s be practical.
Have you thanked someone who has been a good listener to you? Have you listened to someone who is in need? Some of us might have come across or heard from others, had I been there to just listen to his words, by this time he will be with us. Many lives are lost because they feel there is no one to listen to them. Listening is more powerful than speaking or writing. Speaking or writing can change the life of many but listening can save one's life.
Be a good listener. Listen by your heart. It won't take a much deal to be a good listener. But it brings a lot of difference. You won't be popular being a good listener. You won't influence hundreds of people but you can be a life saver.
This piece of post is dedicated to all "The Unknown Legends" who listened to others when needed. This is for you too, because by reading this, you are listening to me, to my heart what I am saying.
Keep Listening!!!
