2). The International Listening Association (ILA) http://listen.org is a rich resource for learning more about listening and networking with others who recognize its importance in everyday life. Its website features exercises to test and improve listening, factoids about listening, Internet discussion groups, quotes about the nature and value of listening, and a bibliography for those who want to read more. Review "Listening is a 10 part skill", and report on what you learned:
"Listening is a 10 part skill" made me realize I had a lot of listening skills to work on. I have learned that listening is actually so much more difficult than it sounds. A lot of what i read was very true and made perfect sense to me. For example, #6 Work at Listening, I thought that a lot of us could relate to this one because this is exactly what we have done in the past. Listening requires hard work, attentiveness, flexibility, and so many other qualities that we overlook in our everyday lives. It is funny to see how our world is made up of mostly poor listeners, just imagine what it would be like if we were all attentive and how different things would be. Lastly, this made me realize that I need to stop judging the person by how they speak but by their content. Their content may be executed poorly but their ideas could be amazing and out of this world. I feel like a lot of ideas are lost between the cracks of judgement by others.
