Although most people get on my nerves, I do enjoy talking with people, you can learn some fascinating things when you actually listen to what is being spoken and I’m afraid that the art of listening has become a thing of the past. Folks love doing the speaking, but are for the most very bad listeners.
Last week, at work, a co worker of mine had to bring her mother-in-law into the office for a while, waiting for the time to arrive so that she could take her to a doctor’s appointment. The mother-in-law (who’s name is Rose) ended up sitting right close to my desk and we had a very pleasant conversation for close to an hour about all types of things. She turned out to be a very interesting and entertaining lady.
