Here are 5 helpful pointers for more effective listening:
1. Listening is loving. If you list the people who are good listeners, you no doubt list people you love. Listening shows you care and you are concerned with the other person.
2. Listen with your eyes. You show empathy when you make extended eye contact with our prospects. It also shows you have confidence in your product and in yourself.
3. Listen in silence - don’t interrupt! True listening is just that: focusing on what the other person is trying to convey to you. Therefore, listen in silence. You may have to ask for clarification and additional information. Remain patient until the prospect has finished his/her thoughts before doing so.
4. Respond to what you have heard. Show that you are “tracking” with the prospect by giving short verbal feedback such as “I see” or “I understand.” Nod your head and use appropriate facial expressions to respond.
5. Welcome the silence. Don’t be afraid of a period of time when no conversation is being exchanged. Silence is your ally. It shows that you respect the other person’s opinion. Silence allows you to catch up with the conversation. Silence can be used as a transition or as a means to let the message sink in.
It is possible to say too much. Very rarely is it possible to listen too much. Strive to listen effectively. After all, it may be the most important thing you do all day!
Sad Story of Using Papers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pl take some time of yours to READ and try to implement/follow/ propagate... with your heart, after all it is our World we have to take care of it. It worthwhile a try.
The following is the mail received regarding the usage of papers in office ,
We all are aware that we are using paper for taking print outs for all of our purpose ,we are taking printouts , if we are not finding it satisfactory we are tearing off those , & we are taking again, we are taking printouts in white papers to show it to our higher officials also , the following is the brief history of paper we are using ,
* For every three thousand & five hundred papers (3500) ,that we are using three trees are cut in the primary rain forest . we know that around sixty percent of the Earth's ecolife are dwelling in the primary rainforest . this causes a serious depletion of natural vegetation ,which affects the various factors in the nature , the food cycle is broken which causes the severe extinsion of the various animals , millions of tons of top soil are eroded which causes land slides & the earth becomes useless for ordinary purpose also . The green house effect is also worth mentioning here , which leads us to another ice age.If we are not stop cutting the trees we will have to show the future generation the animals which we have seen , touched & lived with in the same paper that we have produced from the forest trees.
Here we should have to consider the environmental effects that are caused during the production & processing of the paper,
Around 1000 liters of water goes to washing of wood pulp during the initial stage . in that around 70 percent are wasted & balance only 30 % of water is only recycled ,which causes a severe drain the potable water & the water table of the land . the waste water causes additional problems like polluting the ponds ,streams ,rivers causing the death of fishes & aquatic life forms.
The power requirement of producing a tonn of paper is around 217 units ( for initial processing , the secondary & refining process not included) , which we all know that are produced by burning the fossil fuels which adds up the effect of GREEN HOUSE gases.
Also we are investing money in procuring of stationary especially papers & paper related products . Also we are incurring money to control the information printed in the papers ,on the fear of leaking important information about the company & persons.
By looking up the above facts we can come to a conclusion that usage of paper is to be reduced ,for that we can follow the points mentioned below,
1) Never take print outs - We know that this is highly impossible , but we should also consider that we can now send message to any body through electronic form ,even to their mobile phones , so we should reduce the hard copy & use only soft copy for draft copies, after it got approval ,we can finally take a fair copy if any needed .
2) We can take rough copies in one side papers , so that we can reduce the paper usage through 20- 30 % .
3) We can take casual matters / to do things /remainders in one side paper rather than a fresh paper , as the paper will become useless after the end of the day.
4) internal communication brouchers / check lists / inter department memos can be sent in one side paper or electronic form rather than fresh papers.
5)We should always insist in recycled papers while buying , so that we can save another tree .
6) Now a days papers are made from sugar cane remains / grass also , we should prefer those rather than others.
7) we can use alternate materials like plastic sheets , rayon, cloth for taking print outs , it will look different for presentation than the traditional look.
last but not the least ,
WE ARE THE ONLY SPECIES IN THE WORLD WHICH CAN SAVE ALL OTHER SPECIES ,INCLUDING OURSELVES,
PLEASE DO NOT TAKE A PRINT OUT OF THIS MAIL FOR SHOWING IT TO OTHERS ,BUT FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY PERSONS U KNOW.
OR TAKE A SINGLE COPY OF THIS MAIL IN ONE SIDE PAPER & DISPLAY IT SO THAT ALL IN YOUR SCHOOL, COLLEGE ,OFFICE WILL HAVE A LOOK & WILL TRY TO SAVE A TREE , OUR LIFE & OUR EARTH .
IF WE ALL STOP USING ONLY ONE PAPER A SINGLE DAY & REUSE /RECYCLE PAPER WE CAN SAVE THOUSANDS OF TREES,
LONG LIVE OUR UNIVERSE.

Team Spirit
It was a sports stadium.Eight Children were standing on the track to participate in the running event.
* Ready !
* Steady!!
* Bang !!!
With the sound of Toy pistol, all eight girls started running.Hardly have they covered ten to fifteen steps, one of the smaller girls slipped and fell down, due to bruises and pain she started crying.When other seven girls heard this sound, stopped running, stood for a while and turned back,they all ran back to the place where the girl fell down.One among them bent, picked and kissed the girl gently and enquired 'Now pain must have reduced'.All seven girls lifted the fallen girl, pacified her,two of them held the girl firmly and they all seven joined hands together and walked together and reached the winning post.Officials were shocked.Clapping of thousands of spectators filled the stadium.Many eyes we re filled with tears and perhaps it had reached the GOD even!YES.
This happened in Hyderabad, recently !The sport was conducted by! National Institute of Mental Health. All these special girls had come to participate in this event and they are spastic children.Yes, they were mentally retarded.
What did they teach this world?Teamwork?Humanity? Equality among all? .
. . . . . . . ????
Successful people help others who are slow in learning so that they are not felt far behind.Stay connected. An idea can change your life.This is really a great message..spread it!
