倾听就是爱

Jul 20, 2023

其中最伟大的是爱。(哥林多前书13:13)

斯蒂芬·辛普勒(Stephen Sample)说:“普通人都有三种错觉:他是个好司机,他颇有幽默感,他是个不错的倾听者。不擅长前面两样,你还可以成功;但不会倾听你就不能成功。”你是个好的倾听者吗?你认为自己要说的话比别人说的更重要吗?别人说话时,是否觉得你没有在听?如果真的是这样,请找一张卡片写上“LL(听看)”,随身携带,时常查看,这意味着你要倾听,并且在听的时候要看着别人。有一项研究表明,我们只听见别人所说的一半,只倾听我们所听见的一半,只理解所倾听的一半,只相信所理解的一半,并且只记得所相信的一半。把这种情形比作八小时的工作,就意味着你花四个小时来听,所听见的相当于两个小时,所倾听的相当于一个小时,所理解的相当于半个小时,所相信的相当于十五分钟,所记得的少于八分钟,这就是八小时谈话的结果。喔,看来我们所有人都应该学习倾听!如果某人感觉不到你的倾听和理解,你就无法和他建立良好的关系。听而不闻是思想封闭的第一症状。如果没有养成倾听的习惯,你就得不到所需的事实真相。没有事实真相,你就在蒙蔽中。保罗写道:“如今常存的有信、望、爱这三样,其中最伟大的是爱。”爱最好的表达之一就是承诺去倾听!
