A GOOD LISTENER AND SPEAKER
Research has shown that the human mind can process words at the rate of about 500 per minute. The difference between the two at 350 is quite large. So a speaker must type
every struggle to retain the courtesy of the hearers and the hearer should also
be suspicious not to let his cognizance meander.
Good listening is an art that can be cultivated.Good listener discerns the art of getting much additional
than what the talker is trying to convey He knows how to prompt, persuade but not to cut off or interrupt what the other person has to say. At times, the speaker may or may not be coherent, articulate and well organised in his thoughts and expressions. He may have it in his mind yet he fails to marshal the right words while communicating his thoughts. Nevertheless, a good listener puts him at ease, helps him articulate and facilitates him for listening to be effective, it is also necessary that barriers to listening are removed. Such barriers can be both physical and psychological. Physical barriers generally relate to hindrances to proper hearing whereas psychological barriers are more fundamental and relate to interpretation and evaluation of the speaker and the message.
