Stop talking, start listening! Need to borrow my ears?
Some people just don’t listen do they?
Marion Caunter, host of E! News Asia being interviewed by Christopher Toh, published in TODAY, November 20:
Toh: What’s your favorite holiday spot?
Caunter: I love traveling. I love Tokyo, I love New York and I love, love, love Los Angeles – I’m always there. If you need a short getaway, you can’t go wrong with Bali. If you something quiet, you go to Ubud. If you want a bit of lifestyle, you go to Seminyak.
Hey airhead, Toh asked about your favorite holiday spot, not spots. Spot – singular, stupid, not SpotS!
Do you listen well?
Do you sometimes pretend to pay attention to people?
Do you usually know what another person is going to say before he or she says it?
Do you usually respond immediately when someone has finished talking?
Do you usually formulate a response while the other person is still talking?
Do you frequently hear what you expect to hear rather than what is said?
