“If you want to be a good conversationalist, be a good listener. To be interesting, be interested”. — Dale Carnegie

While reading the part two of Dale Carnegie Book named “ HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE” , a thought provoked into my mind that Am I listening the people to win their hearts? And I was blanked for the answer. In fact, though people say I am a good listener. In this fast and furious world everyone is busy in his daily routine work and issues. No one bothers what happens in the lives of their neighborhood , friends and relatives.

The short story of Dale Carnegie dog , Martin Ginsberg Thanksgiving dinner with kind hearten nurse , Abdul Sattar Edhi help for others and many more are coming into my mind and realizing me that these people actually listen others and did the best what they can do. They listen them, understand their problems and than think with open mind to act. Human Nature basically wants attention more.

By opening yourself up to all that you can learn from others, you can live a more fulfilling life, regardless of your motivations. Truly engage with people and be genuine — you will make connections that can create new opportunities you never thought possible.

Amal Academy gave me a challenge to listen people for 24 hours and be interesting. For this challenge I have to show myself being interested. This needs actively listening, open mind, patience etc. When I start this challenge I came to know people are anxious to share their problems, they really want some one in their lives to listen them.

But this is a sad thing that , we speak with people on social media effectively than face to face. we share our stories their without hesitation and like commenting which is most of the time is meaningless. In real life we do not give time to each other. You may say technology speaks more than people.

Bitter Truth!
