Some people are great listeners.

Some people are great conversationalists.

And some people are just great.

 

Most people are bad listeners.

Most people are dull conversationalists.

Most people are pretty boring too. How not to be boring, when you spend your whole life doing boring things in a boring place with boring people… yeah I’m referring to your ‘job’.

 

I noticed I can usually tell the exact moment people refuse to listen.

There are many nonverbal cues, and still many more obvious give-aways.

They break eye contact…

They cease responding…

Their face betrays disinterest…

Or they simply, rudely change the topic. LOL.

 

Many people are not particularly emotionally intelligent. Emotional intelligence is the realest thing. I had only seen too many highly intelligent individuals, who seemed unable to realize the most obvious interpersonal cues…

Intelligence begins with concentration. Emotional intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, begins with the act of listening.

Few know how to listen. People don’t want to listen, people prefer to talk.

 

I noticed I can usually tell the exact moment people refuse to listen.

They stop listening because they don’t understand.

They stop listening because they disagree.

They stop listening because they don’t want the facts.

They stop listening because they stop listening.

 

Don’t be one of them.
