The Art Of Listening
“Nature has given us two ears, two eyes, but one tongue, to the end that we should hear and see more than we should speak”.
Research On Listening Suggests;
A factor called “Listening comprehension” may be identified and isolated.
When improvement in listening is achieved, it may not be permanent.
There is a distinct difference between speaking rate and that of listening.
By increasing the rate of speaking by as much as 100% the listen rate does not suffer.
There is a high correlation between listening and intelligence; except in the case of unusually good readers.
One quarter of our waking life is spent in listening Elementary school children spend one half.
There types of listening;
You can improve your listening skills by being in good mental and physical health, not being preoccupied, being open minded being non defensive, minimizing interruptions.
Effective listening includes; hearing, interpreting when necessary, understanding the message and relating to it. A good listener learns to; Distinguish fact from opinion . Understand and evaluate inference and reasoning . Detect prejudices, assumptions, attitudes. Restructure vague speaking into clear meaning.
A good listener adds a new dimension to the art of communication.
Dr Carl Rogers asserts; “If I can listen to what he tells me, if I can understand how it seems to him. If I can sense the emotional flavor which it has for him , then I will be releasing potent forces of change within him”.
To make Man Great
Three things are necessary to make man great, every nation great. Conviction the powers of goodness. Absence of jealousy suspicion, and helping all who are trying to be and do good.
Progress
The test of our progress is not whether we add to the abundance of those who have much; It is whether we provide enough to those who have little.
Capable of Greater Things.
Men are often capable of greater things than they perform. They are sent into the world with bills of credit, and seldom draw to their full extent.
In every mistake you make, in every fall you encounter, there is a lesson of vital importance if you search if you search for it.
While the right to talk may be the beginning of freedom, the necessity of listening is what makes that right important.
Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.
Truth stands on its own evidence. It does not require any other testimony to prove it true, it is self-effulgent.
Selfless Heart
Ye who love and serve without thought of self are blessed.
Ye who give your all and seek no gain.
Are blessed again and evermore.
For what shrine more holy than the selfless heart?
What offering richer than the gift that asketh no return.


I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the ten minutes joy that I derive from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha

Real Possession.
A man’s real possession is his memory . In nothing else he is rich, in nothing else he is poor.
The Blessed Hour
Ah, THE quiet, blessed hour .
The hour of union and fulfillment.
The hour of joy complete!
Bereft of self,
Bereft of thought,
Save that Thou art all,
That I am wholly Thine
And all in Thee contained.
I am lost, and lost in all but Thee.
ALL ARE EQUAL TO GOD AND HE DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE. HE WHO SURRENDER TO HIM WHOLE HEARTEDLY RECEIVES HIS BLESSINGS.
He is noble and great who is restrained when accused ,dignified when belittled and gracious when challenged.
If you have great talents, industry will improve them; if moderate abilities, industry will supply their deficiencies.

If you understand, say “understand”, say “understand”. If you don’t “understand”. say “don’t “understand”. But if you understand and say don’t “understand”. how do I understand that you “understand”? “understand”.
I wish to wish the wish you wish to wish, but if you wish the wish the witch wishes, I don’t wish the wish you wish to wish.

Quiter never win

Don’t Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill.
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest , if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with tits twists and turns.
As everyone, of us sometimes learns;
An many a fellow turns about
When he might have won if he’d stuck to it;
Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow;
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than it seems,
To a faint and flattering man;
Often the struggle was given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are it may be near when it seems afar.
So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit.
It’s when things seem worse that you mustn’t quit.
In one day !
Teacher ; If one man builds a hut in 10 days , 10 men can build it in one day.
Student : Then , teacher, if one ship can cross the ocean in 7 days, can 7 ships cross the ocean in one day.
Lengthening My Nights
“Lazy fellow”’ father said to his playful son, “Why do you sleep so much during the day? Life is short and by sleeping you are making your days shorter”. “Don’t worry dad- I will make up by lengthening my rights.” Son replied .
Humility
When Newton lay dying, a friend said to him, “It must be a source of pride and gratification to know that you penetrate so deeply into a knowledge of Nature’s laws”, “Far from feeling proud”, spoke Newton. “ I feel like a little child who has found a few bright coloured shells and pebbles while the vast ocean of truth stretches unknown and unexplored before my eager fingers”.

Prescription
The doctor told the patient’s wife, “ your husband must have rest and quiet. I am going to prescribe these sleeping pills”. “Thank you, doctor”, said the wife, “when do I give them to him?
Oh ‘ said the doctor, “ I don’t mean to give them to him . I want you to take them yourself. “
When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth.
Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.
When life is courted properly, even the ugliest situation can be transformed into a charming smile of success.
Other shore
Thou hast placed me on this other shore
Where virtue and vice, sin and merit,
Praise and censure all are one;
Where light and dark, life and death
Are commingled in eternal unity.
I stand on this strange shore
And look upon the swift-flowing current of life.
With amazed wonderment.
