Been Thinking ...

The other day I was thinking about how people should listen to each other.

Often it happens that I listen to someone, even maybe for a long time, let's say 1 hour. During this whole time I'm listening to this person and constantly analyzing and comparing their thoughts and process of their brain to mine. Trying to see if what I'm hearing is valuable enough for me to maybe consider it to change myself. For example if i listen to my dad talking about future investments, during his talk while I'm fully listening and analyzing his words, I'm constantly questioning my self and they way I think that might interfere with my dads. If I always thought investing in business is the best way, I would question myself when my dad says investing in properties is the best way to go. But one thing I often forget to do is that I forget who is talking to me. Everybody has a different life story and even though we are all similar is so many aspects, but our mentalities could be very different based on our past, culture, age, and other factors. I believe now, that the first step to listen to someone and have the best learning experience is to become them first. Trying to put myself in their position and situation first and then listen to them. It is a really hard task though because in order to fully put myself in their shoes, I need to not only learn, but experience their past myself, which is impossible. Therefore it is technically impossible to fully understand and become someone but we can get close. We can always get closer and should never stop learning. The more we learn about someone's personality, past, ideas, interests, feelings, brain process, goals, and etc the more we can understand the true conversations and have a productive conversation.
