Ni Hao! I was watching a cartoon program with my daughter today. I wasn’t expecting to learn a lesson from it, really! Today was very unpredictable. I should’ve never underestimated how a cartoon program can change one’s life perspectives.
Lesson learned today: Take time to listen because even the quietest person may have something super important to say.
Listening is a virtue, something that not everyone has. It gives you an insight of other people’s thoughts. It also gives you an idea of other person’s behavior. Listening opens a door to discovering and you’ll never know that you’ll be learning from the most surprising person. No matter how good or bad a story/comment/opinion a person says, lend an ear. At the end of the tunnel, we all benefit from it. Listening is an attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another which both attracts and heals. As a powerful tool of influence, you have made the individual feel important. It also boosts your esteem. The bottom line is we learn acceptance, we made someone feel delighted and we improve ourselves.
Always remember that the first duty of love is to listen (Paul Tillich). When love has taken its place, everything will follow.
