Have you ever thought much about one of the greatest needs of human beings? It's really a pretty simple principle. We all just want to be valued and understood.
So how can we do that to others? Doesn't it make sense that a really good way would be to listen well to them first? It doesn't mean that we need to agree or disagree with them... just understand them. And then typically when we do that, isn't it likely that they are much more willing to listen to what we have to say?
Listen first and listen well. Then notice how much your conversations and relationships improve. Also, notice how much more you learn.
