Learn to listen
We are all able to improve ourselves as a human being, developing our own virtues and trying every day to remove our faults.
For example, I know that I will never be able to not yelling and cursing when I’m angry, but that does not mean that I can not restrain the torrent of sharp words, which I am able to pronounce in that moment and to hurt another person. So, I can try to control myself, actually my tongue.
And I do not have to talk about myself all the time, because no matter how I am trying to be creative in those stories it tells much more about me and what I think about the person with who I am talking: “I believe that what I am saying is more important than what you are saying”, or worse “I am more important than you”.
My father was always saying: “Never regretted the one who doesn’t talk too much, but one who does”
Do you remember how many times you came home after the meeting and you realized that you didn’t close your mouth whole evening? And than “And why I said that?” or “I could control my self”… If you let to someone else to say something, you could be surprised what you could hear!
For example, maybe you’ll realize, after you start to listen to another person that you don’t know that person at all! And you’ve spent a lot of time together!? When a relationship ends, you might ask yourself:”Why I’ve needed so much time to realize that he/she is not for me?”
Well, it’s propably because you did not know in that time to keep your mouth shut (sometimes) and listen! Have you ever heard that good communication begins with listening?
So, it must stop. All changes will be useful.
Begin even now. I believe that you are aware of your faults (and virtues) and it’s never too late to try to correct them, at least partly if you are not able to correct them completely. You can’t imagine how your life can become simpler and easier. And of course, start with first lesson: listen!
