7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens
Habit 5
5. Seek First
to Understand, and then to be Understood
Because
most people
don’t listen very well, one of the great frustrations in life is that
many don’t
feel understood. This habit will ensure your teen learns the most
important
communication. Skill there is: active listening.
Why is this habit the key to
communication? It’s
because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood.
Everyone wants
to be respected and valued for who they are—a unique, one-of-a-kind,
never-to-be-cloned individual. People won’t expose their soft middles
unless
they feel genuine love and understanding. Once they feel it, however,
they will
tell you more than you want to hear. People don’t care how much you know
until
they know how much you care. `
Listen with your eyes, heart,
and ears. 7 percent of communication is
contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53
percent)
and how we say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40
percent).
Most people are eager to talk and had
rather
talk than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should
listen
twice as much as we talk. We actually learn more while listening rather
then we
talk. Learn to listen and listen to learn.
Listen, really listen, for
understanding.
Seek first to understand then to be
understood—LISTEN.

RIGHT!!!
