Listening and understanding...

"Seek first to understand, then to be understood"

Habit 5
Stephen Covey's 7 Habits for Highly Effective People

How many of us actually practice this habit - to listen and understand before giving out our response? Imagine how many arguments can be avoided if only people would listen to each other first before forming and trying to give out their opinion. I for one have been guilty of not listening fully, or forming an opinion too soon on countless occasions. The consequential effect of those acts could have been avoided IF ONLY I could have practiced the habit more often.

With so many catastrophic events happening around the world, let's just try and be a little more emphatic and not add to the negative vibes that are surrounding the globe. Try not to anger mother earth any further. You never know, a little patience in listening can go a long way.



Let us join together in a prayer so that the earth will return to its calm state and the people occupying it will find peace and serenity come the new year.




Insya-Allah...
