Let me share with you what I have read from "Getting your ideas Across" by Geoffrey Moss:
"Listening is a creative force that can influence people. When we are listened to, our ideas begin to unfold and grow within us. We tend to move towards friends who listen to us. When we are listened to, even by strangers, we feel happier and more secure. Listening is often confused with hearing. Any normal healthy person can 'hear'. Listening requires a great deal of concentration and increased energy. Our progress in life depends largely on our mastery of listening skills. We grow into our listening habits - rarely are we trained to listen."
Listening is definitely a talent I would like to cultivate. Meantime, I will learn with Geoffrey Moss' book how not to let others kill my ideas. You can borrow the book from the National Library if you cannot find it in the market. I borrowed mine from the following address:
