Listening is a vital communication skill that helps you learn more about people and situations. In every relationship there is a time to talk and express yourself or point of view and also a time to listen and learn. I'm pretty sure after listening to this and when next you're in a gathering and having a discussion with friends or at work, you'd pay more attention to what people have to say and not be in a rush to talk. Listen, Assimilate, then express yourself. Repeat this process again and watch your ability to communicate grow.
