Daryll Geddes The following poem sums up very well how most of us listen.
When I ask you to listen to me and you start giving advice, you have not done what I asked.
When I ask you to listen to me and you begin to tell me why I shouldn't feel that way ,you are trampling on my feelings.
When I ask you to listen to me and you feel you have to do something to solve my problem, you have failed me, strange as that may seem.
So please listen and just hear me.
And, if you want to talk, wait a minute for your turn; and I'll listen to you
