Being a good listener is one of the most important skills you can have. It is key to all effective communication. If you are a good listener, you will find that people will be drawn to you. They will want to be around you. The simple act of paying attention and listening to someone else, tells them that are interesting and worthwhile. It tells other people that you care about what is happening to them, how they think, and how they feel.
