HP- Why I Quit the Absolute Sound or: Path to Personal Revelation

What makes someone a good listener?

From Simon and Garfunkel's 'The Boxer' - Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest

To be a good (i.e. impartial) listener the man (or woman) would need to dispense with all wanting to hear anything in particular.
 
HMMM, philosophical quotes from entertainers. Quite the educated we have on these threads.

How about:

"Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers"

Guess who? Hint: It wasn't Simon and Garfunkel and it wasn't even Van Morrison.
 
How to be a good listener?? :D

Listening is an essential part of communication, and it is different from hearing. Being a good and patient listener helps you not only solve many problems at work or home, but also to see the world through the eyes of others, thereby opening your understanding and enhancing your capacity for empathy. In addition, you learn a lot from listening. As simple as listening to and acknowledging other people may seem, doing it well, particularly when disagreements arise, takes sincere effort and lots of practice.

Albert Einstein, or perhaps Socrates?
