How To Listen

Being quiet is how to listen
Being thoughtful, caring and passionate is how to listen
Learning to concentrate and focus is how to listen
Using your eyes to watch the speaker is how to listen
Blocking all other noise from your ears is how to listen
Drawing pictures in your mind's eye of what's being said is how to listen
Learning to better understand a whisper is how to listen.
