Listening, One the most beneficial habit

A person has various kinds of habits, and the habit of listening is one of the most beneficial habits a person can have, which is beneficial in numerous ways. Hearing and listening are separate things. As long as one is hearing anything through the ear, it can be considered as hearing, but in that case, the listener doesn't pay attention to the words of the speaker. But truly listening means listening to every word with full attention and trying to understand the thoughts and the feelings of the speaker. It is something everyone can't do because everyone doesn't have the patience and mentality to listen to the voices of others.

Listening attentively has various kinds of benefits, and I know it very well because I also belong to that category. I don't have so many things to talk about with others, and naturally, I keep quiet, but if someone tries to speak their mind, I am there as an active listener. I think that there is nothing to lose if I listen to their thoughts.

I believe that in this world, most of the issues start because of misunderstanding, and when someone misunderstands another, the person doesn't try to understand the other person and is not ready to listen to what the other person is trying to say. They think just speaking about their thoughts is enough, and it's not necessary to hear the voices of others. Unfortunately, the number of people having the mentality of listening to others is decreasing from time to time, and because of that, various kinds of issues and misunderstandings are increasing day by day. I believe that it's not a good thing to be happy to talk and have someone start speaking. If I allow anyone to speak, then I must hear the whole thoughts of the person, and interrupting in the middle means disturbing and not allowing the person to share what he wants to share.

When someone is sharing anything with me, I try to listen to every word carefully and understand the thought of person. I don't interrupt in the middle unless it's necessary. But I remember every important point of the conversation like a note in my mind, and when I share my thoughts related to it, then I bring out those key points. This is the way I can tell a person everything related to a topic.
It doesn't matter if it's necessary or not; I keep listening attentively to whoever is speaking beside me because such a thing can be a hidden opportunity to gain some useful information that can be helpful to me.

I am polite, but at the same time, I am also a cunning person, depending on the situation. I speak after thinking a lot. Those people who speak a lot in front of me mean they are falling into my trap. I think when people say a lot, they say many things that can be used against them in the future. I don't know when I need to use it, but there is nothing wrong with keeping some tricks under my sleeve for my safety.

But there is another benefit that is very important for me. When I listen to other thoughts attentively, it helps me to understand their point of view very well, and such a thing is really helpful to me. It helps me think about a topic from different perspectives. So that's the major gain for me of listening to the words of others.
