A reminder to myself - Listen when people talk to you

The major problem we have these days is that nobody listens. We just wait for our turn to talk. We hear the other party, but we are busy thinking of what to say to refute them, what interesting (or not so interesting) topic to talk about next, or how to return the focus to ourselves. 

We need to stop. Take a breath. Clear our minds and truly listen to what the other person is telling us. Learn about them from their stories, their opinions, their beliefs. Truly listen to what they have to say. They will respect you more for it, you will know them better because of it.
