7 HABITS OF
HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL TEENS
5seek 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. This habit will ensure your
teen learns the most important communication skill there; is active listening.
Why is this
habit the key to communication? Its because the deepest need of the human heart
is to be understood. Every one wants to be respected and valued for who they
are-a unique, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-cloned individual. People wont expose
their soft middles unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Once they
feel it, however, they will tell you more than what you want to hear. People don’t
care how much you know until they know how much you care. Listen eyes, heart,
and ears. 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest
comes from body language and how we say words, or the tone and feeling
reflected in our voice. 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 than when we
talk. Learn to listen and listen to learn. Listen, really listen, for understanding.
Seek first to understand then to be understood-LISTEN.
CHOOSE THE
RIGHT!!!
