Example: A person approached a bike salesman who had to listen: "How can I be sure this bike suits me?" "Suits you?" queried the saleman in order to listen more. "How can I be sure this bike suits my personality?" "Suits your personality?" queried the salesman for more clarification. "I think I need something sporty!" And the salesman showed him a sporty bike and the deal was struck to the entire satisfaction of the salesman. Learning the art of listening requires tact and patience. Just make it a hobby to take interest in others' problems. This will not only make you listen more, but will also make you forget your own problems. You will not only develop good relations with others but most of your problems would be solved automatically through relations. Learning the art of listening is a matter of practice. The more you practice, the more proficient you will become in listening. There is nothing to lose. You certainly have much more to gain! Source: D.C. Sharma From Jobs&Career 04/Oct/2008
