Timism of the day: Active Listening.

Timism of the day: Today, strive to be a good listener and listen for two things:
1)Content 2) Emotion. Then, in your own words paraphrase back to the person what you've heard. DON"T go any further. Don't try to fix, or give advice, or give your opinion, or direct them in anyway. Just listen. Listening actually takes more energy than talking which is why this is called "Active Listening". You'll be considered a great conversationalist and people will be drawn to you. Nobody listens anymore. Have a sense of "othersness" today and make it a point to listen.
