A Zen Thing . Training notesListen or thy tongue will keep thee deaf. – – Native American Proverb
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 helps you see the world through the eyes of others, thereby opening your understanding and enhancing your capacity for empathy. Besides which, you learn a lot from listening!

Here are some tips on how to be a better listener.
