The art of listening

Listening is an art for only those who are wise enough to open their heart to the voices of understanding.

It is a successful theory which works only if put in practice.
It is the key that opens the door of secret and prospect.
It is somewhere somehow the universal language; the language of love.
It is answers to our questions.
It is the little seed that is planted and if well entertain, by time will turn into a tree.
It is sounds that compose music
Listening is power that enrich someone courage, and kill somebody faith.

When listening don't let your mind get distracted, focus on the content. Listen as a receiver and not as a critic. If you are listening to a person whose soul is pierced with malicious intentions, do not be self-defensive, avoid emotional involvement.

Most of the time, instead of acting, we keep reacting. Instead of listening properly, we keep hearing, instead of understanding, we start criticising. Never let your emotions rule you. There's a difference between acting and reacting, hearing and listening 

The art of listening is the sun than shines your world. There can be huge success, love, blessing and wealth waiting for you but if you don't have an art for listening, you gain nothing.

Special quotes on listening

To listen well, is as powerful a means of influence as to talk well, and is as essential to all true conversation”        Chinese Proverbs quotes

“A wise old owl sat on an oak; the more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard; Why aren't we like that wise old bird?”

Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again. Andre Gide quotes

A good listener tries to understand what the other person is saying. In the end he may disagree sharply, but because he disagrees, he wants to know exactly what it is he is disagreeing with.” Kenneth A. Wells quotes

The first duty of love is to listen.” Paul Tillich quotes
