mindful listening, the key

One of the concepts I learnt in this book was mindful listening. Even though I thought I pay close attention to every conversation I engage in, the book explained it beyond my own understanding. Mindful listening is very important in all works of life, especially to maintain a healthy relationship. Men always fall short in this aspect, because they like to get straight to the issue, while women wants to tell about every detail in their conversation. I ran into a lot of problem, at work, with my family members and even my relationship, because I wasn’t a good mindful listener. There is a saying, that experience is the best teacher, and knowledge is never enough. As I read through this concept in the book, I had to evaluate myself and did a check and balance on aspect I need to be take into consideration when engaging in a conversation.
