7 habits of highly successful teens
5. Seek first to understand,
and then to be understood because most people don’t listen very well, one of
the great frustrations in life is that many don’t feel understood. This habit
will ensure your teen learns the most important communication skills there is:
active listening.
Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s because the
deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be
respected and valued for who they are a unique, one –of-a kind,
never-to-be-cloned individual. People won’t expose their soft middles unless
they feel genuine love and understanding. One they feel it, however, they will
tell you more than you many want to hear. People don’t care how much you know
until they know how much you care.
Listen with your eyes, heart, and ears. 7 percent of
communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body
language (53 percent) and how say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in
our voice (40 percent). Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than
listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as
much as we talk. We actually learn more while listing rather than when we talk.
Learn to listen and listen to learn. Listen, really listen, for understanding.
Seek first to understand then to be understood- LISTEN.
CHOOSE THE Right !!!!!
