IT IS BETTER TO LISTEN

Listening is a big tool a lot of us have as human beings, even though some people do not make use of it as efficiently as they should. it is the building block through which all that we know came to be, the process we went through to learn all we have stored up in our brain or wherever we might be storing information as human beings.
I am writing this not because we do not know the meaning or importance of listening, i am only doing this to sensitize or possibly bring people to the understanding that the only way to relate better with someone or know how to act when it comes to response people need from you is based solely on what you have heard, digested and processed.
Through the process of listening, knowledge is gathered, ideas are generated and businesses are born. If all this is possible through listening, wouldnt you agree with me that it is better to do this than 'TALKING", which we do a lot than listening.
Everybody is talking all at the same time, all having different mindset,experience and viewpoints meanwhile no one is listening.
I might be out of point, but i feel i have noticed people always trying to voice out their opinion rather than listen, digest or learn, which to me is the only way there can be ideas that can bring about great move that can cause a change.
Dear readers,I would love your opinion on this little topic because i feel it is something we should all take serious and ponder upon.
