Pensive: Listen First!

By Sarah Mahmood


Pensive, yet again very brief but nonetheless important. Here it is: listen attentively to what others have to say. A major contributor towards effective communication, this is a habit many of us are in dire need of. We interrupt. We start disagreeing before the other person has stopped. We tend to impose our own opinions. The consequences, of course, aren't very healthy. A lot of shouts, disagreements and unfruitful debates are what we are left with. Happy trying!
