Your willingness to listen makes the speaker understand that you would like to open a dialogue. Such behavior jump-starts communication.
Communication is a two-way exchange based on speaking and listening. When you speak, you express what you know, want, think, or fear. When you listen, you understand what the other person knows, wants, thinks, or fears. Listening is more difficult than speaking because you have to put yourself in that person ' s situation. You have to look at the world from a different perspective.
There are many reasons why people don ' t listen. Sometimes they are so puffed up with their own importance that they have no interest in anybody else ' s ideas. Sometimes they are so self-centered that they think the world revolves around them. Sometimes they are so opinionated that they expect others to agree with them.
Other times- perhaps more often than you would expect- poor listeners are afraid of communication. As long as they keep on talking, they do not have to express their ideas or reveal their feelings. Talking hides their fear, and thus acts as a protective shield.
At home and at school, children learn how to speak, read and write, but rarely how to listen. In daily life, people talk a lot, but often forget to listen to what others say. No wonder there are so many communication breakdowns! continued on page 21 >
