The Magic bestowed upon mankind – The ability to listen!
Mankind has often been ignorant of the beauty of life and things surrounding us, of our powers, wisdom and intellect. We waste most of our time gossiping, whining, complaining or doing such unwanted stuff. And amidst such unwanted activities, we knowing ignore the greatest power that we are provided with – the power to hear and understand, i.e. the power to listen.
Innumerous pearls are spilled around us through the mouths of people, although they themselves never realize the wisdom in their words. Have you ever heard a great business idea or some sound plan or a breakthrough solution to some problem by totally naïve denizens? People chatter and gossip and complain, without actually thinking. Hence many a times, they fail to realize themselves of the great wisdom they have, and if you keep your ears and mind open, you’ll get a lot of knowledge and ideas, solutions and answers.
The power of listening does not just apply to the words of strangers, but it is alike for the people YOU converse with. When talking to someone, listen deeply. Most of the times we are so engrossed in our thoughts that we don’t care what is being said, we are totally ignorant of their words and wisdom. At other times, we are so desperate to speak ourselves rather than listen to them.
The listening is not just limited to ideas or wisdom, but when you listen, people start liking you, and they respect you. Listening to them makes them feel better, and the next time you’ll say, they’ll listen to you whole heartedly. In words of a poet, listening makes lovers of friends and friends of strangers!
The greatest souls on the planet never itched to be heard, neither were they desperate to get their points across, they just listened deeply, and replied sincerely, putting in all their wisdom in their answer. That is what makes you great!
Listen to yourself as well. When you stop forcing thoughts, day dreams and other worldly talks onto your mind in your free time, your mind has a lot many things for you. The greatest ideas spur when you are quiet enough to listen to your soul. So listen! Keep your mind open, and years even more keen and open!
