🎧 Active Listening

Active listening was first used in counseling and conflict resolution. These days, business professionals around the world employ the technique.

It makes sense: When it’s done right, active listening — fully listening to the speaker and providing verbal and non-verbal feedback — can help you to draw people out, avoid misunderstandings, foster collaboration, settle disagreements and gain people’s trust. Most of the best leaders have strong listening skills.

Exercise the creative force

“Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand.”

Learn to bite your tongue

“You have to be willing sometimes to listen to some remarkable bad opinions. Because if you say to someone, ‘That’s the silliest thing I’ve ever heard; get on out of here!’ — then you'll never get anything out of that person again, and you might as well have a puppet on a string or a robot.”

What is the difference between a Hobby and a Habit?

Hobby vs Habit

Hobby:
A hobby is something you do for fun, for pleasure, for amusement. It entertains you and that’s mostly why you do it. It’s light, a distraction, a fancy, a whim.

Some examples of hobbies might be mushroom foraging, puzzles, knitting, fixing cars, refinishing furniture or collecting antiques.

HABIT:
A habit is a pattern (good or bad) that you repeated in order to acquire. It’s an activity done over and over to the point that you don’t think about it. You don’t ask yourself if you want to do it. It sort of gets done.

Some examples of habits might be brushing your teeth, exercising, smoking after a big meal, having dessert, going to bed at a certain time.

It’s important to keep in mind that what to you might seem like a hobby - a light, amusing way to pass the time - to another person might be a central pursuit.

For example, if you claimed writing was my hobby I would probably have an unfavorable reaction. I don't write for a living, but I take writing very seriously.

We don’t ever define hobbies for others. We can only label them as such for ourselves.

Books don't change people; paragraphs do, sometimes even sentences.

“ Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever. „

Maybe it means getting ready for a great launch.
